            <description><![CDATA[While most people still say "eclec-what?", it has surely not escaped the notice of interior design enthusiasts: the eclectic interior design style is incredibly popular. The eclectic style is not actually a particular style. It is the 'borrowing' of a variety of styles and ideas from different time periods. Think mixing a Sixties Space Age lamp , a Memphis design cabinet and a sleek Scandinavian dining area. The whole thing is dressed up with bright colours and graphic patterns with the aim of creating harmony. That sounds quite complex and it is, but when done right it's a picture. So in this Whoppah explores with you, we like to take you on our quest to find out what is eclectic design? 
You can see a beautiful example on the right.

            <description><![CDATA[If you're impressed by mid-century design objects, imagine the impact they had when they were first unveiled. Although there are countless twentieth-century design classics, most of them date from the period following the Second World War. The reconstruction of cities and the economy forced industrial designers to innovate and find creative solutions. In doing so, they asked themselves a burning question: what should modern life look like? The result was a range of designs, each with its own story. Some designs were progressive through the use of mechanical techniques, others through the use of organic forms. We've listed the most progressive and sought-after mid-century design classics on Whoppah for you.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[We're plunging into the world of the 90s. A period that can't be summed up in a single style. From all-white rooms to colourful kitchens in blonde wood: in the 90s, we opted for minimalism as well as maximalism. UFO-shaped lamps or floral furniture? We hate it or we love it. Either way, the cheerful designs of that era make us happy. We've highlighted a few typical features of the 90s.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Pastoe is the archetypal Dutch furniture company, founded in 1913 by entrepreneur Frits Loeb. Initially, Pastoe was a furniture shop in Utrecht, but founder Frits Loeb soon decided to produce the chairs for his shop himself. The company went on to become an internationally recognised icon. In the late 1940s, designer Cees Braakman joined Pastoe, a name that is often found on Whoppah.
