More Top Picks Best Laptops For Note Taking
player ready...Fifties fanatics and deco demons have been heading for a shop in the Lincoln-Diversey area devoted to the best from those periods.
”Response has been really good. The `50s is really a growing market now in Chicago,” said Richard Wright, co-owner with Martha Torno of Torno Wright, 2779 N. Lincoln Ave.
The partners, former schoolmates in Boston, aim for quality instead of kitsch. ”We feature more of the high-style pieces from the `50s, the ones by Herman Miller and Knoll,” he said.
”We also have a fair amount of deco stuff, which tends to be of black and chrome, more of a Machine Age type of deco than the flowery type.”
Prices range from $100 for a simple chair up to $6,000 for the more elaborate pieces.
