Beware: Inflated Modern Furniture Prices Gouge Consumers; Ruks Living Offers Relief
Ruks Living promotes classic designs of modern furniture with prices that deflate the competition's hype. Design connoisseurs can now furnish their homes with affordable versions of midcentury modernist furniture, like Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Chair and Arne Jacobsen's Egg Chair.
St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) April 2, 2008 -- Public demand has dramatically increased over the past few years for modern furniture, but not without a high price tag. The most coveted pieces, many inspired by the likes of Arne Jacobsen, Charles and Ray Eames, Eileen Gray, George Nelson, Harry Bertoia, Isamu Noguchi, Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, Poul Kjaerholm, and many other modern classic designers, have gained significant popularity and hefty paydays for furniture manufacturers charging royalty fees that no longer exist for furniture pieces that are replicas.
 In the past, furniture consumers desiring modern classic designs, such as Mies van der Rohe's inspired Barcelona Chair and Arne Jacobsen's inspired Egg Chair, could only purchase these reproductions from designers who worked directly with manufacturers like Knoll, Herman Miller, Fritz Hansen, and Cassina. Though royalty fees did exist in earlier years, they have since expired, yet customers are still paying the inflated prices for Barcelona Chair and Egg Chair reproductions.
One online furniture distributor is out to deflate the prices of modern furniture pieces, such as the popular replicas renamed the Exposition Chair and Starship Chair, while maintaining the original quality of classic creations. "Why allow furniture manufacturers to capitalize from unfair practices that gouge customers?" said Thomas Peroutka, owner of Ruks Living. "Our philosophy is that customers should have access to quality furniture at affordable prices without sacrificing elegance and class."
Online shoppers can escape the wrath of the big players by purchasing modernized replica creations inspired by many modern classic designers at RuksLiving.com. "Our goal is to give consumers a quality product that is elegant, classy, and culturally inspiring," said Peroutka, a longtime admirer of classic and modernized furnishings.
Just as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe created the Barcelona Chair in 1929 to serve as seating for the king and queen of Spain, online consumers can experience a piece of royalty, too. In fact, while the competition retails the Barcelona Chair from Knoll for $4,083 and only offers this reproduction in a limited range of leather options, Ruks Living offers a reproduction renamed the Exposition Chair for only $850 and offers over 20 different leather options.
Ruks Living offers a range of affordable furnishings such as the Mies van der Rohe inspired Exposition Chair and the Arne Jacobsen inspired Starship Chair. For more information about Ruksliving.com, please contact Thomas Peroutka at 877-374-RUKS(7857) or e-mail tom@ruksliving.com.
