The Best Mid-Century Modern!

by rebeccalovel

Finally, a store that gets Mid-Century Modern RIGHT. If you just NEED that Miller, Eames, or Le Corbusier-inspired item, stop here before trekking over to DWR. You'll find more than what you'd gone in for!

Expensive, well YEAH, but you'll never be happier than with what you buy here.

Fashion and art have a circular effect at this selective vintage/contemporary furniture shop.

Danish, Sleek and Cool
Modern House is full of elegant packages: Avian chairs with a cone table and a Russel Wright dinnerware set to the right; a Widdicomb dresser by T.H. Robsjohn Gibbings to the left. The shop's very accessible owners, Dan Zusy and Michael Roberston, have been in the area for 14 years, specializing in decorative arts and furniture, studio pottery and glass, lighting, prints and paintings.

The Stock
Modern Hosue concentrates on furnishings from the '40s and '50s, but is interested in designs of the '20s and '30s, as well. The store has an excellent selection of George Nelson-designed Herman Miller clocks.

The Crowd
The shop's clientele is largely in the 40- to 60-year-old age range, not necessarily because the younger generation can't afford the prices, but because older customers remember when the resurfaced cold European look made its first appearance.
