Furniture from and inspired by the mid-century modern movement (1945–1975) — Bauhaus replicas, Scandinavian-derived silhouettes, walnut and teak materiality, and the colour palette of forest green, mustard, burnt orange and natural timber that defines the era. The collection includes faithful replicas of design classics (Wassily, Cesca, Eames, Saarinen) alongside contemporary pieces that channel mid-century proportions without literal reproduction. Ideal for spaces that read as warm, considered and historically literate.

FAQ

What defines mid-century modern furniture?

Clean lines, warm timbers (walnut, teak, oak), tapered legs, organic curves, and the principle of form following function. Originated in 1940s–60s Scandinavia and the United States.

Are mid-century replicas legitimate to buy?

Yes — original designs out of copyright (most Bauhaus pieces) can be reproduced freely. Replicas of pieces still in copyright are produced under licence by Asian manufacturers and sold widely in Australia.

Will mid-century pieces date quickly?

They have remained in continuous demand since the 1950s — these silhouettes appear timeless rather than trend-driven. The Wassily Chair has been in production for 100 years.
