If you’ve spent any time on 1stDibs, chances are you’ve noticed a few sought-after items popping up, page after page: nickel lamps, super-low loungers, live-edge coffee tables. That’s because people have been searching for these vintage staples in droves. In the platform’s recently released 2024 e-commerce report, it spotlighted the six most popular furniture and lighting inquiries. Ahead, we reveal the gems everyone’s loving right now and how we’ve seen interior designers style them in real homes.

Art Deco

You don’t have to go full Empire State Building to pay homage to this yesteryear style. Chicago gallerist Emanuel Aguilar evoked Art Deco vibes with a handful of chrome and nickel light fixtures throughout his Chicago living room and entryway (the crescent-shaped sconces are original!), plus tons of small sculptures that feel of the era.

Murano Chandeliers

Here’s a fun fact: It can be tough to source Murano lighting that isn’t colorful. But when you do, embrace patterns and hues in other ways throughout the room. Charlotte and Angus Buchanan’s London living room is a great example: the chandelier oozes chic charm and the striped couch delivers serious personality.

Togo Seating

You’ve seen these chairs and sofas in your coolest friend’s living room. Michel Ducaroy’s collection comes in a seemingly endless range of sizes and configurations, as seen in Alyssa Coscarelli’s L.A. apartment. Do some mixing and matching—a corner piece anchors an empty, sun-drenched corner, turning it into the perfect perch for some reading.

Lounge Chairs

Sometimes packing a room full of vintage pieces can feel a little stuffy. To avoid that, really dig into quirky shapes and silhouettes that offer a fresh take. We love the Bruno Mathsson lounge chairs in this Cambridge living room—the sloped arms are just plain fun.

Gio Ponti

One of the most popular recent searches is for designer Gio Ponti, who had a prolific furniture-making and architecture career that spanned six decades. His high-back dining chairs are iconic, offering seating that makes an instant statement. Case in point: interior designer Michael Ellison’s cozy New York cabin.

George Nakashima

Another big name on the site, George Nakashima’s handiwork can be spotted in home tours around the world. A huge contributor to 20th-century furniture, his designs often feature striking silhouettes spotlighting natural imperfections in wood. Need some inspiration? Maria Santana’s NYC home blends a set of Nakashima dining chairs into a mod black-and-white scene.
