Retro Metro

Style evolves in a rotation; what’s old is new again.
Here are some modern styles with a nod to the designs
of the ’60s and ’70s to liven up any room.

Classic Comfort
The Karlstad swivel chair by Henrik Preutz, made of polyurethane foam covered in a dirt-repellent wool fabric, can brighten up a room with its Ullevi orange color and give it a subtle retro feel. $399. Available at IKEA.
Make Art. Not War.
A truly active piece, “Megalaria” was created by Rex Ray, a San Francisco based visual artist. The use of color and shapes is
reminiscent of early ’70s style. $250. Available at ZGallerie.
Groovy Accents.
The Marimekko Bonbon pillow and the Remy pillow complement a simple couch with retro-themed styles and textures: the bold block colors of the Bonbon pillow and the soft shag texture of the Remy pillow. Bonbon $60, Remy $30. Available at Crate & Barrel.
Flower Power
A feminine and chic approach to the household mirror by Tonic Home. The Lilypad mirror is designed with a golden frame outlining a floral shape, making each mirror reflect something different. $325. Available at tonichome.com.
Light It Up
For a touch of style, without going overboard on the retro theme, the small Devon lamp is the perfect addition to any room. The ceramic base is available in five colors, with a couture hardback lamp shade in burlap. $169 base only. Shade $50. Available at Ballard Designs.
