Have you noticed that some furniture still looks so comfortable after decades or even hundreds of years, and does not look outdated at all when placed in your home? This is the charm of classic design. In fact, if you want to transform your home from ordinary to stunning at a glance, you may be missing one or two pieces of furniture made by masters. Today I will tell you about 7 classic items that are really worth buying.
This chair, which was put into production in 1958, was carefully crafted by Danish designers and Spanish craftsmen. It uses a particularly strong and durable oak frame and is matched with top-level saddle leather. The materials used are quite attractive in themselves and will become more and more elegant with time. Placed in any corner of the home, it can become a visual focus that attracts attention.
Many friends may think that a chair can have a significant sense of presence, but the Spanish chair is indeed completely different. It has that kind of Nordic mix and match style that is both rough and refined, with both the simplicity of Nordic style and the passionate elements of Spanish style. Not only does it feel comfortable to sit on it, but just looking at it is a pleasure. The ordinary dining table at home is paired with a Spanish chair, and the whole level is instantly upgraded.
Danish designer Hans Wagner, who designed the Y Chair, designed hundreds of chairs in his life, among which this one is the most famous and can be called an evergreen tree in the furniture industry. Regardless of whether your home is in a modern style or a Chinese style, placing this chair in it will not create an abrupt feeling, but can actually add more charm to the entire space.
The great thing about such a chair is that it cleverly combines the aesthetics of the East and the West. The chair back has a Y-shaped design, which is not only beautiful but also practical. When people sit on it, their waist can be supported just right. Moreover, it uses a natural paper rope cushion, which will not collapse even if you sit for a long time. Many restaurants and cafes love to use it because it is both attractive and durable, and will not go out of style even after decades.
The Egg Chair was designed by Danish designer Jacobson in 1958. It was made for a hotel in Copenhagen at that time. The biggest feature of this chair is that it has a strong sense of wrapping. When sitting in it, it feels like being hugged, giving a sense of security. Its shape is round and smooth, completely unlike the furniture of that era.
Nowadays, many Internet celebrity cafes and design hotels will place an egg chair because it is extremely photogenic. The shell of the chair is made of one-piece fiberglass, with the interior filled with high-density sponge and the exterior wrapped with leather or fabric. The base has a rotating function so that you can easily turn around to pick up items or start a conversation. If there is a corner in your home where you don’t know what to place, there is nothing wrong with buying an egg chair.
There are two chairs, one is the swan chair and the other is the egg chair. They are both made by the same designer. Moreover, these two chairs were born at roughly the same time. Compared with the egg chair, the shape of the swan chair is lighter, and its lines are as smooth as a swan's neck. In addition, the Swan Chair has no edges and corners, and is entirely curved, making it extremely comfortable to touch. When people sit on it, the body naturally relaxes. It is very suitable for working or resting.
This chair was originally designed for hotel lobbies and lounge areas. The most ingenious thing about it is that it looks great no matter which angle it is viewed from, unlike some furniture that can only be viewed from the front. After many friends bought it back, they discovered that they originally thought it was only suitable for modern-style home decoration, but it can also look outstanding when placed in a Chinese-style or retro room. This is the power of classic design.
As for PK22, it was designed by Danish design master Paul Kjerholm in 1956. This designer was particularly good at using steel and leather to make furniture. PK22 looks particularly simple, just a piece of leather stretched on a few stainless steel shelves, but you will be surprised by how comfortable it is when you sit on it. It fully demonstrates the design concept of less is more.
The great thing about this chair is that it has an excellent and clever balance between structure and comfort. The steel frame is very stable and prominent, and the leather seat cushion can just hold the body firmly. It also saves space and can be pushed into the space under the table when not in use. Many owners of small apartments love this chair because it does not take up space and has a sense of design. It is collected by the Museum of Modern Art in New York, which is enough to show its status.
This lamp was designed by Danish designer Paul Henningsen in 1958. Its shape is like a dandelion in full bloom. The layers of leaves make the light particularly soft. When you look at it, it will not produce a harsh feeling. The reason is that each leaf disperses the light. This lamp is hung in the home and serves as a decoration during the day and for lighting at night.
Many people buy this lamp because it is so beautiful. Whether placed in the living room, dining room, or bedroom, it can become the centerpiece of the space. And it has many sizes and colors for people to choose from. The large size is suitable for the dining table, and the small size is suitable for the bedside. Assembled purely by hand, each lamp is unique. Although the price is not cheap, it will not become outdated after decades of use.
The Italian lighting brand FLOS launched the 3557 table lamp in 1969. Its designers were the Castiglione brothers. The shape of this lamp is extremely simple. It is just a hemispherical lampshade and a thin bracket. However, the proportions are just right. The angle of the lampshade can be adjusted at will, so that it can shine wherever you want.
The unique feature of this lamp is that the switch is inside the lampshade. You only need to reach out and touch it to turn the light on and off. Lampshades are available in a variety of colors, including red, white, and black, so you can undoubtedly find one that suits your home style. It is this lamp that many designers use in their studios because it is simple, easy to use and durable. If you place one on a desk or a side table, it will instantly create a sense of design.
