"What is a classic, and what does it stand for? Can a design that was conceived many years ago truly fulfil today’s requirements?" Vitra's range of iconic classic furniture expresses these ideals and carries with them the stories and inspiration throughout different eras of design. "A designer cannot consciously create a classic piece of furnituree," the brand says. "The objects that have achieved the status of classics have remained relevant and popular for decades." Here are some of the best loved classic furniture pieces from Vitra that have found their ways into today's homes, offices and interior spaces around the world.

Lounge Chair Charles & Ray Eames, 1956 'Why don't we make an updated version of the old English club chair?' With this comment, Charles Eames initiated the development of the Lounge Chair, a process that took several years. This classic armchair designed by Charles and Ray Eames irrefutably set new standards: it is not only lighter, more elegant and more modern than the conventionally ponderous club chair – it is also more comfortable. Thanks to these qualities, the Lounge Chair became one of the most famous designs by Charles and Ray Eames and has attained the status of a classic in the history of modern furniture.

---

Panton Chair Classic Verner Panton, 1959/1960 Having conceived a design for an all-plastic chair made from one piece, Verner Panton collaborated with Vitra in 1963 to develop the Panton Chair, which was presented in 1967. The chair was hailed as a sensation and received numerous prizes. The original version of the chair with a glossy lacquer finish is still marketed today under the name Panton Chair Classic.

---

Standard Jean Prouvé, 1934/1950 Chairs take the most stress on their back legs, where they bear the weight of the user's upper body. The engineer and designer Jean Prouvé illustrated this simple insight in his distinctive design for the Standard Chair: while steel tubing suffices for the front legs, since they bear a relatively light load, the back legs are made of voluminous hollow sections that transfer the primary stress to the floor.

---

EM Table Jean Prouvé, 1950 Based on structural principles,designer and engineer Jean Prouvé developed the EM Table around 1950 for the project 'Maison Tropicale'. Adhering to the aesthetics of necessity, even the smallest details of this table are determined by its construction. The canted legs are connected by a crossbar, illustrating the structural forces and flow of stresses in a way that is typically seen only in engineering structures.

---

Fauteuil Direction Jean Prouvé, 1951 Whether it's used as dining room seating or as an armchair in home offices, the versatile Fauteuil Direction chair is remarkable seating piece that reflects Jean Prouvé's characteristic aesthetic vocabulary, which is based on structural requirements. The comfortably upholstered armchair is available with fabric or leather covers in a selection of different colours.

---

Prismatic Table Isamu Noguchi, 1957 Inspired by traditional Japanese paper folding techniques, Isamu Noguchi gave the Prismatic Table a pure geometric design. The three-legged side table, which is evocative of a prism, is available in a choice of black or white.

---

Dining Table Isamu Noguchi, 1957 The Dining Table by Isamu Noguchi is one of the most elegant dining tables in the history of twentieth-century furniture design. The chrome-plated rods connect to a cast iron base ring to give the sculptor-designer's table added stability and support, but without appearing heavy. The Dining Table is available with table tops in two sizes.

---

Elephant Stool Sori Yanagi, 1954 As one of the most famous objects of Japanese post-war design, the Elephant Stool was created by the prolific product designer Sori Yanagi.Its clear form and functionality are as compelling today as ever.

At the recent International Furniture Fair Singapore 2019 at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, Commune presented two exciting collections - Volta and Rover which garnered positive response from visitors and design aficionados alike!

---

VOLTA A showcase of Commune's continued evolution and coming-of-age process as a design brand, the Volta collection embodies supreme confidence in the form of harmoniously bold contrasts that express creativity from opposing spectrums. Incredibly nuanced, design director Julian Koh wanted to use radicalism and rebellion in both a strong yet subtle way. Volta is about mixing rebellion with elegance and downtown cool with uptown class.Rustic walnut wood combines with elegant leater finishes and elements for a surprisingly garage-chic look, proving that even the most industrial of looks can be refined. With Volta, you can embrace both the light and the dark sides - your home can look elegant yet rebellious at the same time.

---

ROVER Riding the wave of equestrian chic revival within fashion, Commune is applying this trend to home furnishings as well via their Rover collection. Designed to be a glamorous reminder of the world of the leisure class, with its strong traditions of hunting, horse racing, country club visits and exotic travel, this colelction features clean and dignified lines portraying a timelessly classic and stately feel. The rustic-modern collection utilises hints of dark tropical wood, vintage-inspired leather, traditional British tweed, wire grills and brass caps. According to design director Julian Koh, “The traditional, rich, dark and warm colour palette captures the flavour of owning a heritage, laidback country home with a romantically nostalgic appeal of the equestrian chic.”

Before setting out on your journey of acquiring living room furniture, consider the function, size, orientation, and shape of the space - then the style, material, and colour of your furnishings.

Filling any blank canvas requires the poise and confidence of an accomplished artist, but there is so much more than one's creative pride at stake when it comes to the kind of space that imparts first impressions like the average living room does. There are minimalist furnishings that may render a large space empty, there are button-backed leather Chesterfields that can overwhelm an urban apartment, and then there are modern contemporary sofas that seem to fit anywhere.

Image Credit: Design Base

With all the available sizes and styles of furnishings available, you may find yourself hard pressed to assemble a cohesive arrangement with varied pieces from different manufacturers. Armed with this guide and the critical considerations it presents, we believe your next search for living room furniture will produce more effective results.

 

Function

The first thing to do before furnishing any space is to pose the question of what one intends to do with it. Is your home a hub for large clan gatherings or more likely reserved for a select few? The approaches to furnishing your living room would differ depending on whether you are assembling a bachelor pad hangout or a lounge for a large family - the latter typically requires more seating, including the requisite pair of matching armchairs for the matriarch and patriarch of the clan, while the former could be adequately furnished with a single sofa set in close proximity to a coffee table.

---

Size

With the role of the living room decided, one would have to take a look at what space there is to work with. In addition to floor space, one should also consider the presence and height of walls demarcating the area. First of all, is the lounge part of an open plan concept or is it enclosed in walls? A room surrounded by walls limits ingress and egress options, making arrangements more dependant on the placement of walls - on the other hand, an open layout leaves more to the imagination.

Interior design by: The Home Concept Furniture

Secondly, does the height of the ceiling make for a double volume space? A double-height ceiling will enable the incorporation of furnishings with high profiles to take advantage of the extra airspace, while a conventional ceiling may require furnishings of lower height so as to not overwhelm the sense of volume.

Lastly, what is the traffic flow around the house going to look like? If the living room is located more at the core of the house, walkways between furnishings would have to be considered, less so if it is a secluded corner.

Interior design by: The Roof Studio

---

Shape

In addition to the size of the living room, the shape of a space will have an effect on the furnishings you select. An especially long and narrow lounge may not benefit from many round furnishings placed in the centre, while a square room will appear rather empty with the majority of furnishings hugging the walls.

Interior design by: ID Industries

There exists a number appearing in both natural and produced designs that have been found to be aesthetically pleasing since the Italian Renaissance - the golden ratio of 1.618 has often been used to produce compositions that are universally regarded as beautiful. Applying this ratio to your own compositions will almost certainly guarantee an appealing arrangement: if you have an especially long space, consider visually subdividing it with pieces of seating or table surfaces to achieve a space where the length divided by width produces a number approaching the golden ratio.

---

Orientation

Another factor with significant weight on the effect of your furnishings is the orientation of the space, which affects the amount of sunlight your living room receives as the sun transits across the sky during the day. Material choices for your furnishings could be swayed by varying levels of sunlight at different times of day, so we recommend keeping a few sample swatches around to compare before settling on a material. Coupled with the consideration of natural lighting is the presence of windows providing scenic views - furnishings with low profiles may be considered to preserve the view, while high-backed seating could be made less intrusive by being positioned against a wall.

Interior design by: The Roof Studio

---

Style

Prior considerations with regard to the function, size, shape, and orientation of the living room are less controllable - but the choice of style for your furnishings is where your personality will be more obviously presented. Before settling on your choice of furnishings, decide on whether you want your living room to be dedicated to the hallmarks of particular styles, such as the traditional trappings of classical style or dispense with all the frills for a minimalist decor - or maybe you would want to consider putting together your own unique assembly to present a more eccentric image.

Interior design by: The Home Concept Furniture

---

Materials

The choice of material for your furnishing is largely dependant on the function of the space, the lighting levels, and the style you want to achieve. Metal and wood frames are compatible with a wide range of styles, with reflective surfaces being more suited for spaces with a modern lean. Suede and fabric upholstery may be delectable to the senses, but tougher materials like leather may be more suitable in homes with children or pets.

Colour

It probably goes without saying that the shades and tones of your living room furniture should be selected according to your personal preference, albeit with attention paid to the subtle effects of colour on moods, the appearance of colours in changing light conditions, and matching or complementing furnishings with the base or accent colours in architectural finishes.

Interior design by: X-Two Concept

Completely saturating a room in various shades of a single colour is an easy way to get around most of the additional considerations of matching or complementing with base or accent colours, while imposing into a space a favoured hue and its effects on mood.

Entice guests into the embrace of your living room with contrasting colour, textures, and styles.

The urge to combine and hybridise everything could be explained by our innate urge to seek out novel stimuli and construct unique experiences — and the same could be said of how interior styles tend to be expressed in this era. While adhering to the tenants of a particular school of aesthetics may appeal to individuals aiming for authenticity, the proponents of uniqueness instead seek to craft spaces without equal. In this decorative guide, we take a look at various ways of tastefully combining normally disparate colours, textures, and styles to create a unique living space that you can truly call your own.

Colour Play

Interior design by: S/Lab 10

An overt difference in luminosity and colour immediately captures attention. If you want to direct attention towards a piece of furniture that you are particularly fond of, the eye of an observer can be directed with a selection of upholstery in contrasting hues for prominence. Interior designers S/Lab 10 demonstrate the visually compelling effects of colour contrast by introducing a lone turquoise armchair against the pale wood background of the pictured living room, combining two opposing slices of the colour wheel to simultaneously comfort and attract the eye.

---

Textured Touch

Interior design by: SQFT Space Design Management

While colour contrast is overt and clearly discernible from a distance, the application of contrasting textures is a subtler way of directing attention that invokes imaginings of tactile sensations and invites an exploratory touch. A completely uniform furniture arrangement assumes all people are the same, but some are drawn to plush and overstuffed seats as others are attracted by solid and sleek surfaces.

SQFT Space Design provides a range of seating options — in addition to an assortment of smooth and fuzzy surfaces — distributed around a monochromatic living room to attract and occupy different personalities at once.

Eclectic Mix

Interior design by: Living Space Creative Design

If you have grown comfortable with mixing and matching colours and textures, the next challenge to take on would be the blending of styles. Beyond the juxtaposition of colour and texture, the blending of contrasting decorative styles allows room for creative impulses and typically results in a unique arrangement — such as that presented in the pictured seating lounge. The interior designers, Living Space Creative Design, demonstrate an intriguingly eclectic décor that sits astride the past and the future, while combining contrasting colours, textures, and decorative features from the Eastern and Western hemispheres.
