Modern Design Encyclopedia

Decopedia is a dictionary for everything that's related to Modern Design. It was created as a wiki-based project open to the public and free of charge. Our aim is to provide the most extensive information source of its kind. We firmly believe that the only way to achieve this goal is to invite other lovers of Modern Design to contribute to that mission in a spirit of mutual respect. Already from the start we have information, images and reference prices of thousands of Modern Design objects, designers and makers in our database, and when relevant we provide links to Deconet - the Marketplace for Modern Design, where you are able to purchase the objects from dealers and auctioneers from around the world. Enjoy!
