One of our favorite pieces from the new collections is the Strandom Wingback Chair. Its high back is very unique and also helps to provide extra support for your neck. Its suede blue material screams a retro vibe along with its small peg legs.

Rattan armchairs were popular back in the 50s and they’re coming back in style in today’s home decor. The Gagnet Armchair is handmade and unique, with rounded shapes and detailed designs. It would look extremely cozy with a knit blanket over it for fall decor. Plus, this unique chair is priced at just $80.
The lighting in this collection is a huge blast from the past. IKEA’s KNÄSJÖ Floor Lamp features unique shades that were meant to give a diffused appearance. This light is a perfect option for a college dorm or modern home that wants an additional light.
