Okay Art: Curated Vintage Design Furniture and Modernist Classics
Okay Art is a specialized gallery and online shop dedicated to the curation and restoration of high-quality vintage design furniture and rare collector’s items. Located in Basel, Switzerland, the organization was founded by Reha Okay, who brings deep expertise and a passion for 20th-century modernism to the collection. The gallery’s ethos is rooted in sustainability and the preservation of design history, emphasizing the importance of giving new life to exceptional pre-owned pieces rather than contributing to furniture waste. The inventory at Okay Art features an impressive array of mid-century modern, Bauhaus, and Scandinavian design icons. Visitors to the showroom and online platform can find works by legendary figures such as Max Bill, Alvar Aalto, and Marcel Breuer. The gallery also highlights significant Swiss design history, showcasing high-quality sofas and armchairs by de Sede, garden furniture by Bigla, and the refined work of Basel-based designer Dieter Waeckerlin. Each piece is meticulously selected for its craftsmanship and historical value, often undergoing expert restoration to ensure it meets the gallery's high standards of quality. By bridging the gap between historical significance and contemporary interior design, Okay Art serves as a vital resource for collectors, interior designers, and enthusiasts. Whether through their main showroom on Landskronstrasse or periodic pop-up locations, Okay Art offers a professional and knowledgeable environment for exploring the enduring appeal of authentic vintage design.
