AMSTERDAM MODERN

Exciting things are happening!!! September 26 update: I guess we can say it's officially official now that we've got our name stamped on the side of the building! To say that this move has been a while in the making is somewhat of an understatement - let's all be real here in saying that we needed to move a while ago. Piles of mid-century gems just kept accumulating into more teetering piles in our Van Nuys warehouse. Our NEW abode sports 10,000 square feet, respectfully doubling our space to store all our (stuff). Nevertheless, three weeks later, we've still managed to fill the floor. At least everything is in a much more organized stack (as opposed to pile). We're still unpacking boxes, but feel free to drop by and browse our inventory, without the fear of being hit by waves and waves of endless furniture glory...But don't worry, the glory managed to stay here!

The De Sede DS600 Sofa for Ueli Berger (photo credit to DesignCrisis Blog and Amsterdam Modern and My House ;) ) The rare DS600 non stop sofa by the Swiss company, De Sede, is totally cool. It has an entirely multifunctional range, able to change from a two-seater lounge chair into a twenty-seater sofa. Composed of individual upholstered pieces that zipper together, the sofa can be configured endlessly. From the s-curve arrangement to an arc (above) or a straight line, this couch is extremely versatile and absolutely stunning! However it’s beauty is unrivaled to it’s comfort as the couch’s both supportive and down upholstery give this shifting sofa a sense of extreme luxury. Mmmmmm. Osvaldo Borsani D70 Sofa for Tecno (photo credit to Amsterdam Modern) Osvaldo Borsani, an Italian architect and designer, emerged in the 1940’s and early 1950’s producing a large body of work. Famous to his repertoire was the establishment of a firm calle...

Teak and Rosewood Teak and rosewood tend to be the prevalent choices of hardwood in mid-century Danish furniture, and although very different, we love both equally for their ability to be defining design choices in the home. If you've come into our warehouse and wondered at the difference between the two, we can point out a few differences that may cater towards your design sensibility: Teak tends to have a lighter and more yellow toned grain, and is extremely durable in outdoor weather conditions. Because of this, it's often used for outdoor construction (patios, lawn furniture) and produces oils that make it considerably termite resistant. It finishes beautifully, and can most definitely endure child activity while giving off a pop of woodgrain tan in your study or living room. We love teak for its lightness of color yet sense of sturdiness. Danish Modern Teak Partners Desk with Bookcase Tomado Industrial Teak Wall Mount Shelving Unit Rose...

S I N G L E! Thanks Jodi for making single fun and cool again - just as Jodi Foster is, we are too! (but in a slightly different way). As the new year is now officially upon us, so we have new changes. We are no longer partners with Mohawk General Store, however we still have an inventory presence there. You may still go to see our curated selection at the store. Most of our inventory is still at our warehouse in Van Nuys - and all are welcome to make an appointment to peruse as they wish. The most exciting part is that our warehouse is brimming with new stuff from the container that arrived last week, and another one at the port...OH NO!
