Sleek lines and outer-space ovals, complemented by shiny surfaces and bright colors, are the hallmarks of contemporary furniture design. You can go futuristic or retro with today’s uber-modern furnishings, which look like sci-fi takes on their 1950s ancestors.

White leather and laminates with stainless steel details make a chic backdrop for the bright pops of color and pattern that turn up the heat on this trend. Uber-modern wood and metal surfaces gleam with amazing luminosity on case goods and occasional pieces while chairs shine, too, as retro designs get a makeover in trendy colors and modern materials.

And don’t forget to complete your uber-modern décor with the latest in stylish lighting, which melds organic shapes with retro-modern design.
