There's modern and then there's Minima. At Minima, modern means high concept show pieces that would fit right in as part of the MOMA permanent collection. A typical piece? Imagine a massive chandelier made of wire, glass and metal. Each individual light consists of a tube covered with a translucent close up image of an old chandelier on it. This is par for the course at Minima....

Some people's heroes are Koufax, Robinson and Mayes. For other people it's Eames, Nelson and Noguchi. Modernica is for the latter group. Finding "original" pieces designed by such icons can be extremely difficult and prohibitively expensive. Modernica has taken designs and faithfully and carefully recreated them for all to enjoy. As an added twist you can custom build a...

My Own Space certainly has many, many ways to make a space your own.

The aesthetic goes from approachable contemporary design to high-concept pieces. We suppose the idea is to collect little...

In other modern furniture stores we seen shelves lined with miniatures of classic modern chairs. At Orange Skin we saw the same thing, only in the full size variety. Such is the scale at which the store operates. Opened by two architects, expect to see the most audacious versions of beds, lights, and bathroom fixtures around. Most products are from Italy.

At Property, the love for modern furniture runs deep. The boxiest of tables sits next to the curviest of chairs, the most playful coffee tables commiserates with the most serious of sofas. The most whimsical of chandelier hangs over the simplest of beds. The tie that binds all these pieces is they're modern, or rather different interpretations of what modern furniture can be.
