Un-Predicta-Ble

There’s a word for people like you: decor whore. (Okay, two words.)

Don’t deny it. You splurged on that Nelson bench. And the Eames chair. And the Noguchi lamp. So tell us this: What’s with the big, ugly eyesore in the middle of your living room?

No, we’re not talking about your significant other. We’re talking about the television.

Solution? Predicta TVs. Telstar, a Milwaukee-based company, turns out high-quality replicas of sets originally manufactured by Philco Electronics in the late fifties and early sixties. They’re just the thing for your obsessively cultivated mid-century vibe.

Choose from original designs like the Princess and the Debutante, or from newer ones of the team’s own invention, like the Chalet and the Corona. Don’t let the retro look fool you; inside, the sets feature modern electronics that are compatible with your VCR, DVD player, and Xbox. Prices range from $1,100 to $3,300. Not cheap, but neither are you.

Unless you’re that kind of decor whore.
