Buy applied art online
The thrift store is a great place to visit when you're looking for home decor or retro items for the kitchen . You might be lucky enough to find some great second-hand finds for little money. But it also takes time - especially if you're looking for something specific.
Alternatively, you can search for applied art online. At Mission Afrika Genbrug we sell retro and vintage applied art online. In the webshop you get a quick overview of what is in stock and can add items to the cart and pay immediately. It doesn't get much easier than that.
What is applied art?
We all know the word, but do we really know what it means? Applied art is a broad term that covers everyday objects with an aesthetic or artistic touch. It can be anything from furniture to small items, as long as it is something that can be used and is nice to look at. It doesn't have to be unique, but can easily be mass-produced and still fall under the term applied art. Can it be used? Is it art? Then it is applied art.
Most people probably associate applied art with small objects that can be used decoratively in the interior design of a home. These can be, for example, old coffee cans, jars, vases or a silver candlestick . They can also be things that were originally for everyday use, but in a modern home are only for decoration - and as a reminder of the old days. But an architect-designed piece of furniture or a designer lamp is also an obvious piece of applied art. As with all art, your personal taste is crucial and you decide for yourself what is both artistic and useful for you.
Use retro applied art in your decor or as a gift
Applied art is probably already a part of your interior design. We typically surround ourselves with things we can use and things we like. Sometimes we focus most on the practical part and other times it's more about the artistic expression.
Retro applied art has a special nostalgia and coziness about it. A beautiful way to connect the past with the present.
Are you looking for a unique gift idea?
Sometimes it's just more fun to try your luck with a personalized gift rather than buying the next item on the shopping list. Maybe you'll hit the spot with a piece of applied art that's exactly to the recipient's taste?
At Mission Afrika Genbrug we have lots of beautiful, quirky and quirky things that will be perfect as a gift for someone you care about and want to surprise.
