Weekend Loves from the Regency Shop
In today’s post I wanted to share with you my favorites from the Regency Shop – a very cool place to look for modern furniture including famousĀ retro design reproductions. TheyĀ source theirĀ furniture from around the globe and you can get amazing designer pieces at veryĀ affordable prices.
TheirĀ modern furniture line includesĀ chairs, sofas, loungers, dining sets and lighting.
My first favorite product is famous Ibiza chair. It was created by Mies van der Rohe in 1929 and since then it became one of the most popular design pieces ever known.
Another timeless design is Chesterfield sofa. There is something extremely luxurious, elegant and old-fashioned about it. However I can perfectly see it in a modern style space toĀ make it look a bit more grounded and solid.
My pickĀ number threeĀ is theĀ Egg chair
ItĀ was designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1958 for the Radisson SAS hotel in Copenhagen.Ā I would imagine this chair in a relaxing reading nook in a bedroom or a living room. You can choose from the variety of colours and materials (I would opt for pastel, tenderĀ hues):
Another favoriteĀ productĀ is theĀ Wassily chair
The Wassily chair was created by Marcel Breuer, and was named after Bauhaus professor Wassili Kandinsky. Both Breuer and Kandinsky were Bauhaus teachers. The chair was a product of functionalist approach to design and Ā was inspired by Breuerās bicycle.
The Panton Chair is rather a sculpture than just an ordinary furniture piece. Fluid in movement, its innovative futuristic shape made Panton chair an iconic piece and symbol of the pop-culture.Ā I often consider Panton chairsĀ for various interior design projects because ofĀ their versatility andĀ elegance. In the Regency shop they come in three colours: black, red and white. My favorite is black – same as little black dress, it always looks chic:
Eileen GrayĀ side table
One more classic created by famous Irish furniture designer Eileen Gray.Ā Ā This circular glass E-1027 table was inspired by the tubular steel experiments ofĀ Marcel BreuerĀ at theĀ Bauhaus. It can be used as a side table for a chair, bed or sofa – it is a wonderful piece that combines functionality and aesthetics. Ā Its sleek, minimalistic design looks very airy and light.
Viscontea ceiling lamp
Flos, ‘Viscontea’ lamp was designed by brothers Achille and Piergiacomo Castiglioni in Italy in 1960. It providesĀ soft and diffused ambient light. It hasĀ an internal steel structure coveredĀ with a unique “cocoon” resin to create the diffuser.
Another stunning modernist piece created by brothers Castiglioni Ā in 1962. and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni. Carrara marble is used forĀ the base, while oversized telescopicĀ stemĀ and shade is made of stainless steel. There are no electric wires on display thatĀ might create walking hazards.
