Back to the future. Those who insist on the tried and tested forms must not be nostalgic. On the contrary. If you learn from the past, you can face the future positively. You can just feel the designers itching to grab the classics, adjust them, refine them or interpret them anew. Even Konstantin Grcic dares to reload Barcelona Chair and translates it into contemporary design. Redesign that subtly renovates the traditional and adapts it to our functional and aesthetic needs, is the genre of today, fuelled by the diversity in the vintage market. Finally, the pool of design history appears to be almost inexhaustible.
