You may or may not have heard of replica furniture already, but the term is used to describe pieces of furniture that are a reproduction of late designers’ work. They have experienced a lot of attention in recent years due to the revival interest of mid-century modern interiors when planning a luxury bedroom design and other areas of the home. 

Why Do People Buy Reproductions Instead Of The Originals?

Reproduction furniture is available at the fraction of the price of an original. Even when planning out design, it’s best to maximize your budget.

When mid-century designers like Arne Jacobsen, Xavier Pauchard and Charles & Ray Eames designed their iconic furniture designs like the popular plastic rocking chair, they did so with the intention to make a great design accessible to the masses. 70 years later and their beloved designs are adored all over the world, but for many people, are inaccessible due to the high price tag for an “original” piece.

Why Are These Designs Important Part Of Interior Design?

These versatile designs have been used across multiple interior styles, making them the perfect piece of furniture if you aren’t committed to a style or if you are, an affordable way to achieve the most creative and suitable interior for you.

These Designs Are Important, But Are They Popular?

Replica furniture is in very high demand due to its many benefits, one of them being its timeless design. With constantly changing interior design trends, these timeless designs surplus this and adapt to the current styles.

Is The Timeless Design One Of The Reasons These Designs Are So Important?

The simple answer is yes, ever changing trends has seen the fashion industry become the second damaging industry to the environment, just under the damage caused by fuel companies.

Interior trends are a great way to keep styles looking fresh, however, it is unsustainable for every home to keep up to date with these altering trends. This starts to build on a culture that once something is out of fashion, whether that be that the colour or material trends have changed, it is then easily disposed and replaced with something that is at the moment, in fashion. As a result, we generate more and more textile waste.

Synthetic materials that can be used to create furniture can take up to 200 years to decompose.

Why Design Has Changed This Way

Advanced manufacturing and travel makes it quicker and easier for items to be produced and provided to the end user. These advanced manufacturing techniques have meant that the process of making furniture is cheaper which means the product can be sold at a cheaper price. This makes it easier for people to buy more.

What us, as consumers, need to start doing is buying less and buying better quality items.

Designs Don’t Need To Change With Trends

When you purchase a high-quality variation, you will be able to enjoy this piece for years to come. Reproduction furniture is a great reminder that designs don’t need to be altered with ever changing trends. These timeless designs make interior design more sustainable and better for the environment.

These timeless and affordable designs are accessible for everyone to enjoy and help our environmental crisis.
