OVERSTOCK.com still has the BEST Mid-Century-Modern Knockoffs…

By Ty Wenzel • Jan 7th, 2010 • Category: Featured, Interiors Exteriors, Product & Merch, Retro Modern, Style for Less Dough

OVERSTOCK.COM
Whether it’s Eames, Saarinen, or Bertoia, you can find a direct knock-off to their most famous pieces, particularly in the chairs, dining chairs and seating departments.  I have the Saarinen tulip chair knock-off and I LOVE IT.  It’s very obvious with these pieces exactly who they are shamelessly knocking off, but really, if you want [...]

Chair porn

Visit DesireToInspire!
Last weekend I saw a couple to-die-for mid-century modern chairs that I had to leave in the shops because I cannot justify owning more chairs. This has had me thinking about chairs, and I realized it has been far too long since my last chair porn post.

I have six original Eames shell chairs which I picked up at a garage sale four years ago. Ever since (with much procrastination in between, of course) I have been trying to figure out how to restore the fiberglass which has lost its luster… and let me tell you, there is a lot of [...]

Knock-Off Report: How to Get a Mid-Century Look With Ikea

The Trollsta tray table - $99

Have you figured out yet that I’m obsessed with Mid-Century modern design? Even so, alas, I don’t have the income to go the *authentic* route, what with a child and his future at stake (i.e. I’d rather save for his ivy-league education), so I usually go the knock-off or “inspired-by” route. I like [...]



Mike Witt

Mike Witt designs rooms with a modern aesthetic with more than a nod to mid-century influences. Is it obvious that he has spent years of studying, buying and selling 20th century decorative and fine arts? To me these spaces are classics of the future. Even though he uses finishes that may be thought cold [...]

Knock-Off Report: Overstock.com and Mid-Century Modern Design

I am a big fan of knock-offs, particularly since I (a) am always on a budget, and (b) I have a 6 year old that likes to destroy furniture during his adventures throughout the house.  I cannot put a $550 Eames chair in the living room simply because it will be probably be nicked, ridden [...]

DESIGN FROM HELL (AND HEAVEN)

By Ty Wenzel • Jul 22nd, 2008 • Category: Interiors Exteriors, Retro Modern

Just what is design, really? It’s been a mysterious science since Day One.

As the saying goes ‘it’s all in the details’. Every aspect, no matter how big or small, makes or breaks a design, or for that matter the beauty of an object. We can’t explain why we perceive something as better looking – among [...]
