Modern classics via auction!
Around here, we’re HUGE mid-century modern and classic modern fans – names like Eames, Bertoia, and Knoll definitely get us a little hot under the collar. Of course, any discussion on on mid-century classics inevitably leads to the big question: to buy or not to buy knock offs. While we’d love to commit our money to the true classics, the unfortunate reality is that a commitment of that sort would add at least a decade or two to our purchase timeline. So knock offs are a fact of life.
So if you happen to be in the same boat. And further, if you happen to be in Australia, you should check out Mybid.com. Dot au. Essentially an Australian-based Ebay for furniture and art, this place has some killer deals. Everything starts at 1AUD (about 86 cents for us Yanks) and the pieces looks pretty solid. Butterfly Stool for a buck anyone? Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like shipping is available to the US at the moment. Hopefully if they do well, that’ll be an upcoming step on their list.
