Past and present can sit stylishly together - a 1930s Aalto stacking stool with Eames chairs from the 1950s, a modern chain-store sofa with a 1970s glass top table - allowing you to make the most of the gloriously eclectic forms, colors, and patterns available." 






 





    



Take the 1950’s look - complete with collectors pieces - and mixing and matching it with elements from other eras.

  





 
Bring back the 60s with a mod style retro look mixed with a touch of funky modern. Using loud and eye-catching wallpaper patterns colors will get you on the right track!
    

 

  
Accessorize with colorful and fun decorative accents. Dont forget the quirky and odd-looking furniture!













Travel back in style with these funky Retro Egg chairs with their unconventional shape that resembles a space-age pod. The construction makes it perfect for sound isolation, and a comfortable area to sit and read. Its chamber-like shape and upholstered interior cancels out most outside noise, providing a unique environment for meditation, relaxation and just getting away from it all. Add fun shaped beaded curtains to complete the retro look.



Wall Flats™ from Inhabit® are lightweight dimensional wall tiles that work together through an automatic pattern repeat to create large-scale three-dimensional walls of any size and shape. Molded from bagasse, one of the worlds most renewable resources, they are durable, sustainable and biodegradable. They can be installed, trimmed and painted with commonly available products and tools. Scraps are biodegradable and can be recycled with other paper products or composted.































The seventies are back with this nod to the halcyon days of flared trousers and bold design.



Add a touch of nostalgia - come on .... who didnt have a boomerang shaped coffee table, be honest.








In recent years, mid-20th-century modern furniture, ceramics, glass, and textiles have become hugely popular among people who appreciate the stylish contribution that these pieces make to todays home.


Modern Retro will inspire you to create a look that combines classics by such visionaries as the Eameses, Bertoia, and Aalto with thrift-store finds and the best contemporary design.



Combining the clean, unadorned lines of the International Modernists with organic and geometric forms, the Catalina Collection is suggestive of the works of America’s Mid-Century Modern designers. All pieces are crafted in solid American black walnut or maple hardwood. 

   
 
  
Modern Retro is not about slavishly recreating a period feel - but instead taking the best designs of the 1920s through the 1970s and use them throughout your home in a relaxed and individual way. 


Past and present can sit stylishly together - allowing you to make the most of the gloriously eclectic forms, colors, and patterns available.


































representing all things Mid-century Modern - a.k.a. super hot right now - this colorful planter not only looks terrific out on the patio or deck, but also inside. Its perfect for holding magazines and whatnot in any living space, or place it on a shelf for a little flair on its own.

The conical bowl shape is how this planter originally got its name in the 1950s, as it resembles a little bullet or space ship ready for take-off. Back then fiberglass had burst onto the scene in decor products and just about everything else, so this planter, in true homage to its predecessor, is crafted of fiberglass, too, in a wide range of colors. Youll love it - and youll love a few of them even more. Consider a trio in different colors! Super swanky.

























































Groovy baby, now you can bring the Sixties back to your bedroom with wonderful tie dye, peace sign and paisley































Honky Tonk style creation that was the 70s. 

Walls are vibrant and boldly trimmed with fluorescent pink feather boas. 

Curtains are sequinned in true disco style and tied back with furry dice. 

Heart shaped mirrors, hippy glass beads in jewel colours are draped around the bed. 

There is a disco ball and walls adorned with pictures of icons from that era. This is a room that knows no restraint kitschy, over the top and totally groovy.














































Choose from the arty bohemia of the 1910s, the chic 20s of the flappers, the elegant Art Deco styles of the 30s and 40s, or the modernism of the 50s. Those who prefer a more modern look can choose between the dazzling Pop Art of the 60s, the penthouse cosmopolitan 70s, the Post-modern eclectic 80s, or 90s loft living. Whatever your style, make it your own.
