While, the designer of the piece is considered one of the deciding factors when considering a good design investment, its important to consider the most popular, most elusive and most intriguing designers for the highest values and most interesting pieces. If you are looking for a piece that will be popular for years to come, check into designers who have prevailed throughout time or create pieces that can do the same. Such designers include Arne Jacobsen and Verne Panton. While both designers have lines and pieces that have fallen in price over the past few years, they always come back. Take advantage of designer slumps to invest in a good design piece at a great price. Look for designers who come back after a short slump or tend to stay steady during trends when other designers shoot to the front. These are the designers worth the investment and time to find their pieces.
