DesignAddict opens web shop for design products

designaddict

Founded by design lovers in 1998, Design Addict was one of the first important websites dedicated to product design.
Created without any commercial purpose, its goal has always been the sharing of knowledge between net surfers, regarding the history of design as much as the contemporary design field.

During these 10 first years of activity, the same question was asked to us, again and again: “Where can I buy this wonderful object that I saw on your site?“. We came to the conclusion that we had to find an answer to the needs of our visitors and we now have the pleasure to announce the opening of a new section on Design Addict:

The radar

The Radar is a platform where vintage design stores, auction houses, etc. can easily show the items that they have for sale.
On the other hand, the buyers, private or professionals, have access to the inventory of many dealers in one place and can easily find furniture, lamps, accessories… via various search criteria (typology, designer, producer, period, seller’s location or price range).

It’s simple and it works! Although this new service has just been launched, one can already find more than 500 items and the sellers keep on adding items so regularly that one can easily predict thousands of items in a few months.

The Radar is thus a tool that allows collectors and interior designers to easily scan the market and detect specific pieces.
For design lovers, it is also a good way to discover 20th century design through creations from some of the greatest designers. Select a designer name or a period of your choice and enjoy the visit!

Why is the Radar different from other market places?

  • Design Addict does not take commissions on the sales. Prices are therefore the same as on the dealers’ website. The dealer does not increase his price to compensate such a cost.
  • Each listing is reviewed by a design addict expert before being published online.
  • Design only. The Radar is dedicated to 20th century designer creation, we stay on topic. No boring antics or bad quality reproduction here.
