Limited Editions

It seems like more and more manufacturers are giving clients the option of buying collectable limited editions of their furniture.

Last year Herman Miller offered the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman for a limited time only with a 50th Anniversary emblem and also included a free book called:

"The Eames Lounge Chair"

"An Icon of Modern Design"

A great read which can also be purchased seperately.

Anyway, I've seen the likes of many more limited editions this year as well. Some worth mentioning:

 The Grand Prix Chair by Fritz Hansen (mentioned in a previous edition),

The Componibili storage units by Kartell in Red,

and

The Panton chair by Vitra, available while supplies last in Orange.

You just know that one day, all of these iconic pieces will be worth more than the asking price, as good old supply and demand comes into play and creates a market for these limited pieces.

Can furniture actually be an investment?

Stay tuned for another unbiased opinion.
