As furniture design researchers and dealers, the most common questions we're asked are about how to "identify an original". Turns out, the non-profit, Be Original Americas gets this question a lot too.
We created a collaborative series of videos with Be Original Americas to explain how to identify some iconic, original designs from the 20th century and beyond.
Videos will be posted over the coming weeks.
Here's how, and why, we value original and authentic design-and why it can be a worthwhile investment for collectors, enthusiasts and anyone who loves design.
