| Barcelona Chair |
The Barcelona chair may look industrial but the original design
is almost entirely handcrafted. Unlike other creations of its time which were
aimed to bring sense and style within the reach of the common, this design was
aimed at aristocracy when it was created in 1929. The initial creation that saw
significant bolting was replaced by the use of stainless steel which allowed
for a seamless smooth and seamless appearance. This influential design has
motivated creation of many replicas that are well within reach of the common
folk. The Barcelona
chair replica costs only a fraction of the original’s price but
looks every bit the original. It is widely available online on order.

| Oval Wooden Table |
Many designers have come up with ideas for the oval
wooden table. Each design differs from the other in size,
construction and more importantly the supporting base. The oval designs were
mostly incorporated in making dining tables and stools. Small-sized oval dining
tables with armchairs are fairly common in modern homes. Armless chairs are however
go better with long tables. Stools are available in various sizes. Saarinen’s
Tulip idea has been successfully used in providing base for round tables and
stools. Replicas of famous stool and table designs are available online for a
low cost. However care must be taken to ensure that good quality wood is used
in replica furniture. The best replicas make it very hard to differentiate from
the originals and also function just as well while costing significantly less.
