The recent period of global economic uncertainty has brought with it a yearning for quality; for a less throw-away consumer society. This may be true, but people will always hanker after beautiful things, the lipstick index (whereby women buy far more lipstick to treat themselves in tough economic times) proves that. But what if we need to purchase a larger item such as furniture? The need for beauty is more important than ever, but we are looking for quality, a piece that is built to last. This perhaps explains the unfailing popularity of the classic Bauhaus furniture (available at HomeConcept24.com) even in times of recession - they are investment pieces which are built to last.

We all need to furnish our homes, ideally with pieces that are both functional and beautiful. The marrying of beauty and function is exemplified in Bauhaus furniture classics such as a Le Corbusier sofa or a Charles Eames Office Chair; pieces designed with an architects problem-solving eye and a designers desire for beauty of form. Nowadays we require a lot from our homes and the furniture within: they need to support us in our busy lives, to make us comfortable, help us to work, play, cook and rest and to inspire us with their beauty. It is not easy to find all of this in cheap high street shops or flat-pack warehouses. For this you need design classics that have passed the test of time, that have been proven to add to the working comfort of a home while looking stylish. Bauhaus furniture is a great example of this - the classic pieces have been reproduced due to their continued demand since the 1920s.

Nowadays were also looking for furniture that will take the everyday strain of use and last for years to come. We no longer feel comfortable living in a throw-away culture yet we want to be surrounded by quality and beauty. We dont mind paying a little more for investment pieces if it means we dont have to replace things every couple of years. Bauhaus reproduction furniture is built to the same exacting standards of the original plans; if some of the original pieces have lasted well since the 1920s, then top quality reproductions will last you a lifetime. And in designs that transcend fashion, there is no need to keep changing the look of your home with each new trend.

Investment pieces which are built to last while also uplifting you with their beauty? No wonder Bauhaus furniture is as relevant today as it has ever been. Visit the home of high-end reproduction Bauhaus and classic contemporary furniture: www.homeconcept24.com.
