Topic: Scandinavian? Aseda?

[Krasner]

I love Ikea deasign! But embarrassing because I'm a VINTAGE seller! Was forgetting that no-one on here necessarily knows that!

Ahhhh I see, yes a bit of an oops then if it's contemporary, but then IKEA has been selling glass for many years so we do see older pieces too. (IKEA was founded in 1943.)

1943! Really! I had no idea.
The trouble is, lots of their new pieces are heavily mid century influenced anyway, so, it could be really hard to determine age/era.
I'll have to scout about online and see if there are any vintage Ikea pages or old catalogues etc. I'm guessing, if it is Ikea, it is most likely to be modern though. I just googled it and Ikea didn't arrive in the UK until 1987, not a guarantee I suppose but it narrows the odds of an older piece here.

P.S. Just spotted your location Anne. Me too! What are the odds!

I would love to find older IKEA catalogues too, so far all I have bookmarked is a page with 2005 onwards catalogues: http://www.home-designing.com/2008/10/inspirational-ikea-catalogues and a 1965 extract here: https://ikketikketheo.wordpress.com/2009/07/24/ikea-catalog-anno-1965/ - neat eh?

I'm in the south of the county, how about you?

Aye neat!

I found a site with front covers from the fifties to now, also neat but not a great deal of help.  http://gizmodo.com/every-ikea-catalog-cover-from-the-past-63-years-1628121028
The style hasn't changed that much.

I'm on the north coast.
