This fall at Mirror80, we’ve fallen in love with the work of furniture designer Maitland-Smith. The company is still very active today, but we’re particularly drawn to the ’70s and ’80s pieces created by Maitland-Smith. And just what are the signature traits of these fine furnishings? Brass accents, tessellated stone that covers the each piece in seamlessly applied squares, and Deco-style geometric shapes. Not to mention, a color palette of cream, coral, peach and black adds an elegant touch, making these creations sleek rather than garish. Today we’ve assembled a collection of our favorites, available for purchase via 1stdibs. Read on for more details…
A Retro Menagerie
Anyone else in love with 1stdibs? They have an AMAZING selection of ’70s and ’80s finds. No, you won’t find the bargains that you score on eBay and Etsy. But at the very least, you can learn about some of the top designers of your favorite decades. And you’ll know what to be on the lookout for at estate sales and thrift shops… Which leads me to my latest interior design project: A retro menagerie!
