There is a lot to be said about vintage home furnishings. Vintage pieces tend to have character and quality that isn’t always easy to find in more modern furnishings unless you’re prepared to shell out some big bucks. And why I love vintage so much boils down to two facts:
- Buying vintage (translation: used) is about as green as green gets
- 90% of the time, the vintage item you’re buying is one of a kind, or at least a few of a kind
This vintage Bertoia chair from Jayson Home & Garden is a perfect example of the unique treasures you can find if you’re willing to look. Complete with its original orange finish, this chair will make one heck of a statement in a room. It says you aren’t afraid to take chances with color or style. It says you have an eye for vintage gems. And if you put it in the right spot, with the right accessories around it, it’ll make your guests say “Where can I get one?”
Why It’s Green:
- Buying vintage piece rescues them from the waste stream and helps reduce demand on resources to make new products
Price: $395 (six available)
Where would you put this chair? Does it look like it belongs on a patio, in a teenager’s room, in that cozy reading corner in your living room, or somewhere else? Leave a comment and let me know!

Those chairs are very cool looking. I think they would look fabulous out on the patio.
