Replica Furniture

There is certainly an upsurge in popularity of antique styles of furniture but, unless you have plenty of money available, it would cost a fortune to furnish a whole home totally with original antiques nowadays. This has led the way for top-of-the-range replica furniture: beautifully designed and manufactured, with close attention to detail, following closely designs that were associated with specific eras and furniture designers of their day such as Sheraton or Chippendale, amongst others. Many designers attract continual attention, with replica furniture based on the original designs by international names such as Isamu Noguchi, Le Corbusier and Eileen Grey.

Le Corbusier

Le Corbusier Basculant Sling Chair, Le Corbusier Chaise Lounge and the Grand Comfort Soft Lounge Chair all inspire replica furniture manufactures to reproduce these pieces, adhering faithfully to the original designs. Le Corbusier's designs continue to be very popular, keeping the furniture company, Cassina, based in Milan, busy producing Le Corbusier products. Cassina has been licensed as the producer of all things Corbusier.

Isamu Noguchi

Isamu Noguchi was renowned for a wide range of interests, aside from being a designer of furniture that continues to be popular enough to have attracted the replica furniture market today. Aside from popularizing the Akari Lamp that is iconic of the 1970s, Isamu Noguchi is particularly well known for his sculptures such as the Play Mountain, the Glass Pyramid, and the Tetra Mound. Contemporary furniture designs that incorporate Noguchi concepts abound in the Cyclone dining table, or the Noguchi table, as well as some delightful replica furniture creations inspired by Noguchi such as the Tribeca Table, the Yin Yang Coffee Table or the Sable Dining Table.

Eileen Gray

Aram Designs is the company which holds the license to reproduce Eileen Gray originals. A genuine 1929 Monte Carlo Sofa that Eileen Gray herself designed was recently advertised online for £2,200 GBP: if you bought it from the Aram Company in London you could expect to pay in excess of £7,000. Eileen Gray's Monte Carlo Sofa is true Art Deco, consisting of frame manufactured in chrome plate and upholstery in black leather. This is just one of Eileen Gray's designs. She is renowned for influencing the Modernist movement during the 1920s era and continues to be regarded as one of the most significant designers of the 20th century.

Getting Replica Right

If you do decide to decorate your home interior with replica furniture you need to put considerable thought into the era design you are going to pursue. After all, you don't want to start buying Eileen Gray Art Deco replica furniture and then get enticed into the Georgian or Victorian eras: the rule of thumb is one style only if you are to avoid an appearance of confusion.

When it comes to replica furniture there are various looks to aim for and interior design tips continue to be important, even when furnishing with replica. As an example, if you have a small room, go for the elegance of Louis XIV, with the elegant mirrored look of Venetian glass to make the room look bigger. Kitchens would look great with French Country style, whilst a lounge would look great following the Bergere style of Regency period of replica furniture. Replica furniture is certainly more widely available, regardless of which era you choose to pursue but, even then, it is not cheap: replica furniture does not mean cheap and cheerful!
