Replica Furniture
There is certainly an upsurge in popularity of antique styles of furniture but, unless you have plenty of money available, it would cost a fortune to furnish a whole home totally with original antiques nowadays. This has led the way for top-of-the-range replica furniture: beautifully designed and manufactured, with close attention to detail, following closely designs that were associated with specific eras and furniture designers of their day such as Sheraton or Chippendale, amongst others. Many designers attract continual attention, with replica furniture based on the original designs by international names such as Isamu Noguchi, Le Corbusier and Eileen Grey.
Le Corbusier
Le Corbusier Basculant Sling Chair, Le Corbusier Chaise Lounge and the Grand Comfort Soft Lounge Chair all inspire replica furniture manufactures to reproduce these pieces, adhering faithfully to the original designs. Le Corbusier's designs continue to be very popular, keeping the furniture company, Cassina, based in Milan, busy producing Le Corbusier products. Cassina has been licensed as the producer of all things Corbusier.
Isamu Noguchi
Isamu Noguchi was renowned for a wide range of interests, aside from being a designer of furniture that continues to be popular enough to have attracted the replica furniture market today. Aside from popularizing the Akari Lamp that is iconic of the 1970s, Isamu Noguchi is particularly well known for his sculptures such as the Play Mountain, the Glass Pyramid, and the Tetra Mound. Contemporary furniture designs that incorporate Noguchi concepts abound in the Cyclone dining table, or the Noguchi table, as well as some delightful replica furniture creations inspired by Noguchi such as the Tribeca Table, the Yin Yang Coffee Table or the Sable Dining Table.
Eileen Gray
Aram Designs is the company which holds the license to reproduce Eileen Gray originals. A genuine 1929 Monte Carlo Sofa that Eileen Gray herself designed was recently advertised online for £2,200 GBP: if you bought it from the Aram Company in London you could expect to pay in excess of £7,000. Eileen Gray's Monte Carlo Sofa is true Art Deco, consisting of frame manufactured in chrome plate and upholstery in black leather. This is just one of Eileen Gray's designs. She is renowned for influencing the Modernist movement during the 1920s era and continues to be regarded as one of the most significant designers of the 20th century.
Getting Replica Right
If you do decide to decorate your home interior with replica furniture you need to put considerable thought into the era design you are going to pursue. After all, you don't want to start buying Eileen Gray Art Deco replica furniture and then get enticed into the Georgian or Victorian eras: the rule of thumb is one style only if you are to avoid an appearance of confusion.
When it comes to replica furniture there are various looks to aim for and interior design tips continue to be important, even when furnishing with replica. As an example, if you have a small room, go for the elegance of Louis XIV, with the elegant mirrored look of Venetian glass to make the room look bigger. Kitchens would look great with French Country style, whilst a lounge would look great following the Bergere style of Regency period of replica furniture. Replica furniture is certainly more widely available, regardless of which era you choose to pursue but, even then, it is not cheap: replica furniture does not mean cheap and cheerful!

Mid-century is Modern - Again!
The era that gave us mass-produced furniture and the opportunity to "experiment" with our décor is making a come-back in the lush set designs of AMC's hit show, Mad Men. From Pete's chic apartment to the Draper's domestic dream home, everyone seems to be buzzing about mid-century modern, and rightly so.
With whispers of clothing lines coming out based on the fashions from the show, and online forums filled with questions about where to find Dan Draper's office furniture, the trend towards mid-century modern is firmly in place. Mid-century modern furniture - your grandmother's furniture - is classic, cheap, and easy to find if you know where to look. Outside of it being handed down from your relatives when you moved out of the house to go to college, you can find these "antiques of the future" in thrift shops, estate sales, antique auctions and online at sites specializing in mid-century modern.
Mixing these classics with your existing décor is easy. In fact they look fantastic and add a lot of character when mixed with other styles. Furniture of that era is smaller in profile than many modern alternatives, so works really well in smaller spaces. You can even reupholster these pieces to match your color scheme and still do it for less than the cost of new furniture.
Danish Modern
The most abundant and easy to find mid-century modern is Danish Modern, or Danish Teak as it is sometimes known. As Mad Men Set Director Amy Wells points out, when asked about her work on set. "I want to make Mad Men look real, as if the people really have those pieces. It's important that they be imperfect, not iconic. A lot of people had Danish modern at the time because it was reasonably priced, and much of it still exists because it was so well made."
Some designer's names to keep your eyes open for would be Finn Juhl, Hans Wegner, N.O. Moller, Arne Jacobsen.
This is a fantastic example of a teak credenza from the late 50s by Finn Juhl. Juhl was the first modern Danish furniture designer to be recognized internationally. He created a new style of Danish furniture that embraced form as much as it did function. The world noticed, earning Juhl the unofficial title of Father of Danish Modernism. You can see more credenzas and mid-century modern furniture examples for sale.
