MODERN RETRO TABLETOP

    Modern Retro Tabletop focuses primarily on the 1950s through to the '70s ,a period when prodigious designers created some of the most fantastic yet functional objects ever to decorate the landscape of the living room and kitchen.An international array of ceramics,glassware,metalware,p[lastics and wooden pieces are presented.From Arne Jacobsen's Elegant Cylinda coffee set to Terence Conran's everyday dinnerware,from delicate italian glassware by Paolo Venini to Le Creuset fondue set-these are the pieces that encapsulate an era. Although many of these items are now appearing in the top auction rooms and at specialist dealers,it is still possible to find inexpensive pieces.
