I’m a huge fan of the 60s style furniture and 60s furniture
that has been re-vamped. Recently I’ve been looking at images online and
designs of different types of old furniture being re-loved and given a modern
twist.
I really want to do this particularly with a chair. I’m
going to keep visiting the recycling centre until I find the right one to take
home.
Here are a few designs I like and will be taking inspiration
from:
Zoe Murphy.
Zoe Murphy is a British designer making her mark on used furniture. She’s
updating “retro with retro” you can read more about her in an interview on WeHeart.co.uk.
I love the way the original is merged with the new and not spoiled. The new and
old work well and compliment each other making it seem as though it has always
been that way. The detail inside the drawers is also fab!
Charlotte Love.
These chairs are maybe my favourite they look so simple to
re-create and are really beautiful. Charlotte Love an interior stylist (amongst
other things) has styled this pretty, pastel coloured photo shoot and included
these chairs.
101 Woonideeen.
This table and chair was featured in an issue of Dutch
magazine '101 Woonideeen'. The table top design has been made using a Spirograph.
You can find out how to make it yourself here. I really like the sharp shots of
neon on the side of the table leg and rim of the table top, it makes the piece really
playful and fun without being over powering.
