Style Icon or Status Symbol? The Cult of Vintage Furniture | TALK (DE)Historical design objects – known as vintage designs – are currently all the rage: one of the best examples is the Eames Plastic Chair, which is rarely lacking in any style-conscious interior. But what lies behind this fashion? Is it about status symbols? Are people yearning for the patina of history? Or are they trying to flee the present and recreate a seemingly better past? Participants in this discussion panel will examine the popularity of vintage design from social and philosophical perspectives. Our guests include Margit J. Mayer (journalist and former editor-in-chief of AD) and Frederik Frede (founder of the blog »Freunde von Freunden«). Free admission |
