Resources: Mid-Century Modern Reproduction Furniture
For you lucky folks living in NYC, White Furniture (several locations) offers the best selection and price on mid-century modern reproductions and replicas I've seen anywhere. And according to a couple of commenters at
Apartment Therapy, the quality is pretty good, too. Of course, they don't sell a repro of the piece I really want: a Saarinen womb chair. In fact, I've only found one place that does: Paradigm Gallery.
They are also on MySpace.com, where the good news is:
In 2008, Paradigm Gallery will open galleries in Atlanta and Los Angeles with future galleries slated for Austin, New York, San Francisco, Tampa, Washington D.C., and other cities scheduled for 2009 openings.Two years to wait isn't that long, though, is it? And I could always buy online, I suppose....
Yes, I promise we'll have that extended discussion (argument, shriekfest) on the issue of vintage versus re-issues versus licensed versus reproduction versus knockoff mid century modern furniture. But not just yet. Later.
