Better Vintage is a monthly celebration of objects that prove true style only gets better with time. Each story reveals why these pieces endure and why vintage examples carry more beauty, craft, and soul. With history, expert voices, and styling ideas alongside practical buying guidance, this is a collector’s guide to the most iconic secondhand pieces, because some things are simply better vintage.

The Togo chair for its plush pillowiness, the Egg chair for you guessed it, its egg-like shape, and of course, the Eames lounger chair, known for its ultra-slick midcentury vibe. While these are highly collectible (and highly prized) examples of iconic furniture, there's a far humbler style that's equally as original and widely recognized (everyone has likely sat on one), loved for its comfort and relaxation – the Adirondack chair.
