FORBES August 13.2015

"Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand’s LC4 chaise longue. Charles and Ray Eames’ LCW chair. Eero Saarinen’s Tulip chair. Marc Newson’s Lockheed Lounge. These are just some of the 20th-century design icons that have shown incredible staying power, looking just as contemporary now as they did when they were first designed. Homeowners these days are purchasing investment pieces for their interiors that will look just as good in 50 years’ time as they do today and even three centuries ago, buying everything from 18th-century French classics to mid-century modern masterpieces and future icons. What do they all have in common? They are a mix of style, artistic vision, high quality, long-lasting materials, innovation and skilled craftsmanship. On the top end of the spectrum is rare and exceptional furniture that doesn’t lose value over time: unique pieces, first editions, special editions or very small series. While they may not sell for cheap, they will certainly last you a lifetime and more. Spending money on such museum-worthy furniture – whether vintage or contemporary – is seen as an investment because the designs will continue to stay relevant for years to come. So while you may have to fork out a tidy sum upfront, collectible design will invariably gain in value over time."
