What is considered Retro Furniture?

Retro furniture typically refers to styles inspired by the 1960s through to the 1990s, sometimes even touching on the early 2000s. Expect bold colours like mustard yellow, burnt orange, and forest green, paired with angled legs, abstract prints, and playful silhouettes. These pieces often blend mid-century influences with eccentric character, making them ideal for adding personality to both modern and nostalgic interiors.

What is the difference between Vintage and Retro Furniture?

Vintage furniture refers to original pieces made at least 20 years ago, valued for their age and authenticity. Retro furniture, on the other hand, is newly made but styled after past decades like the 60s to early 2000s. Our Wood Bar stool in Faux Leather is a classic example of a retro bar stool, its silhouette and material are true to what you’d find in stylish mid-century kitchens or diners. The Bouclé Mid-Century Armchair reflects a more traditional retro feel, similar to the armchairs found in offices and living rooms from the 60s to 80s. For something bolder, the Burnt Orange Desk Chair leans into a retro art-deco aesthetic, perfect for more eclectic or eccentric interiors.
