I love designer furniture classics and have a long 'wish-list' of items that I lust after.
Kartel Bourgie crystal lamps,
Louis Ghost chairs,
Charles stools,
Herman Miller walnut side tables,
Eero Aarnio Bubble chair,
Eames leather recliner with footstool,
Noguchi coffee table and
Barcelona chairs to name but a few!

But what about the original v's replica issue? As an ex-cardiovascular pharmaceutical company rep, I
always choose the research & developer branded product rather than a generic. Should I maintain these same principals with furniture and home decor? The financial investment with furniture of course makes a strong economic argument, and the quality of replicas can now make them almost indistinguishable from the original. What are your thoughts????

I'm not a costume jewelery wearing kinda girl. I like my 'bling' to be real, and I think maybe therein lies the answer. For me anyway. I've bought a limited edition Walnut
Eames Hang-it-all and I like knowing that it is a
real designer collectable. Like my blog title it's an
eternal icon! And those more expensive items will have to remain on the wish-list awhile longer!!!
