We are collecting important authentic 20th Century European lighting, furniture & objects. All of our pieces are vintage and original, except for our own line of lighting that you can find here or on display in our showroom as well.

On average we post 4-6 exciting new items to our website every week, so please check frequently for new design beauties.
