Retro furniture is having a revival this year – and the 50′s style is back in a big way.

 

Take some style inspiration from some of Click4interior’s favourite fifties pieces;


The fifties style has quietly grown in popularity with just the odd fifties inspired design here and there, like the classic Eames chair (if your purse cannot afford the original see http://www.click4interiors.co.uk/armchairs/zigzag-designer-armchair-2215902-392098-832192.php  for a gorgeous chair inspired by the classic).

But now it seems designers have fully embraced the 50′s as a source of inspiration. We  at Click4interiors are spotting more design classics and pieces with strong 50′s influences – and we will Pin our best finds here http://pinterest.com/click4interiors/for-the-home/.

The 50′s style is characterized by clean simple lines, rounded edges and the celebration of form as the focus of design. The Teak Lounge Chair, an iconic shape that cannot fail to impress, is one of the lounge chairs that defined the decade; a must to get an authentic 50′s style.

New Industrial Revolution Trend

I remember seeing  heavy duty industrial furniture in Factories (now museums) of the bygone eras  that I have visited as a child. Now as we tire of  the flat packed  and “perfect look” furniture  a new trend of timeworn industrial furniture is emerging. People who  aspire to affirm their own freedom of choice in matters of taste and lifestyle  buy the “real” industrial diner furniture, however majority of us might not be able to find such pieces or to afford to buy the “original” antiques, hence why manufacturers  began  to reproduce furniture from the Industrial Revolution era.

industrial looking coffee table

Our Rydal industrial coffee table is an good example of such furniture. It has been manufactured  from weathered timber and has a deceitfully distressed finish. The Rydal coffee table’s metallic effect frame that supports the timber table top and a shelf ,the metallic effect composite corners complete with nuts and bolts and the industrial looking  castors ensure that the coffee table looks as if it came straight out of a factory from the Industrial Revolution. The Rydal coffee table  has the industrial edge (you could believe that it’s seen a few years) – adding it to your living room is a great way to work this look into your home!

Platner inspired products

I am always on the outlook for  timeless pieces of furniture , so I  was so pleased to find this stunning contemporary Armonica coffee table retailing at £234.00. It’s base is  made  out of  dark finished vertical steel rods with a round tempered clear glass table top. It screams quality and substance.

I wasn’t searching for them but the  Bartok table lamps made my day! Their open wire bases are made out of shaped, coloured wire rods . The Bartok table lamps retail at £99.00 on our website, they come in two different  styles and two colours. The Bartok Red table lamp base has been created with red coloured metal wire rods. It stands tall and proud and comes with a red trapeze shaped lamp shade.

The   Bartok Black lamp has a different designed lamp base  that  also is made out of  shaped wire rods but  coloured black. A black drum lamp shade  finishes off the look.

The  designs of the Armonica coffee table and the Bartock table lamps remind me of  the  iconic  furniture designed by the 60s  architect and designer Mr.Warren Platner .He has designed a range of furniture made out of steel rods. The idea to shape steel rods  into furniture came to him during a walk through the countryside where a shiny sheath of wheat  inspired him to transformed nickel plated steel rods into sculptural furniture  that is now considered a design icon. It has won him the American Institute of Architects International Award.

Mr Warren Platner’s  prototypes  were sold at an auction signalling growing interest by collectors of Mid-Century Modern design and this collection has been in continuous production ever since.
