New Arrivals – Mid Century Modern and Industrial Furniture (Mid March 2012)
Behind The Scenes
A lot of people ask us, “Is everything you have on your site?” or “I’m looking for _______”
We decided to have a new weekly (or biweekly) “Behind the Scenes” post. We hope it will give you a look into what we are up to and what pieces we will be working on, thus giving you a chance to stake claim to your treasures.
Yes, we can refinish that!
Scratches, gouges, fading, clouding, water damage, broken legs, missing hardware, broken hinges, shredded upholstery, chipping, flaking, rusting, oxidizing steel, sun damage, sagging straps, ripped cording, torn caning…we’ve fixed it all! Our top-notch refinishing team can completely restore that piece and breathe new life into aging furniture, giving it years of life and protection. In over your head on a DIY project? No problem, let our experienced crew take over. Call or email us and we’ll discuss what we can do for you.

Our resident restoration gurus have just topped off this beautifully refinished credenza with a custom solid marble surfacing. Want to breathe new life into a piece? Want to bring that faded piece back to its former glory? Get in touch and we’d be happy to chat about your ideas and might even have some of our own.
Industrial Machine Bases for Custom Dining or Conference Tables and Store Displays
A client asked to see what interesting bases we had for tables. Here is a small sample of what we had. We just received a huge load of African hard wood called Anigre. We have possibly 100 large tables worth of wood here! Some boards are 2.5″ thick x 12″ wide and 14′ long! We are now taking orders for custom tables.
Hans J. Wegner
The works of Danish born architect and furniture designer, Hans Jørgen Wegner, exhibit a love of natural materials and a studied understanding of the necessity of furniture as a marriage of function and beauty.
In his youth, Wegner developed an affinity for the material properties of wood, working as an apprentice to respected cabinetmaker H.F. Stahlberg. This experience instilled in Wegner an understanding of the tectonics and craft of traditional Danish carpentry. This understanding of workmanship was supplement with a formal design education when Wegner entered the Copenhagen School of Arts & Crafts in his early twenties. After receiving his architectural degree in 1938 he began working with renown Danish designers Arne Jacobsen and Erick Møller before establishing his own practice in 1943.
Throughout his career Hans Wegner was responsible for over 500 unique chair designs, making him the most prolific Danish designer to date. Perhaps his most well known design, the Round Chair, gained international notoriety in 1949 when Interiors magazine declared it “the world’s most beautiful chair”. The beauty of Wegner’s genius is seen in his designs as the manifestation of a remarkable combination of designer and craftsmen.

Mid Century Modern Portland
We have had the honor and pleasure of working with a great family recently; Cynthia and Linda and their 2 sons. They just bought a jaw dropping mid century modern Portland home. Their new house was so perfect for them. Their 2 sons have it made growing up with a back yard, more like a park, and a kidney shaped swimming pool. They bought a stunning newly upholstered Danish modern sofa from us that just hit our showroom floor, a industrial dresser for their son’s room and they are looking at a rare 102″ George Nelson slat bench that we just got in. Please enjoy this virtual tour of the house.
