About Us:
Rene says:
How can it be otherwise that we have a passion for 20th century
design, with both my partner and myself having design educations
(architecture and graphic design) and in your spare time visiting
design exhibitions, fairs, markets and art and design museums.
Unfortunately if you both share the same interest, its even harder
to say no to that exquisite chair that you’ve just found
and it always finds it way back into your home, which means that
you begin to live in a museum yourself but them without being
able to give the pieces the room and space they deserve.
After 15 years friends and family told us that it was becoming
rather ridiculous as we had 17 different light fittings in our
living room that we should do something with our hobby. So here
we are sharing our passion with you.
Design
of the 20th century left a legacy and we aim
to bring you gems of yesteryear to delight in. When design was
erotic and sexy, when credo's such as "form follows function"
were born. The true worth of this era is underestimated at this
moment, through our collection, assortment and enthusiasm, we
hope that you too will delight in the 20th century.
What also makes our collection of 20th century design
so attractive is the possibility to make your living/working space
unique. With global mass production, Outlet stores, Hyperstores,
uniqueness and quality can sometimes be forsaken. Investing in
a collectors, vintage, retro or antique item gives you a chance
to own a piece of history, you are purchasing a durable product
(not buy now-throw away tomorrow) and it will add a unique element
to your interior.
We aim to make our design pieces accessible by taking
part in fairs and events and bringing our wares to you.
So enjoy looking through our catalogue, try mixing and matching
(old and new), we would very much like to know if you have any
suggestions, any requests: just mail us at muse@20century.eu
and please leave a message in our guestbook.
