Discovering Good Design

September 20, 2024

I have to admit it is fun to watch a younger generation discover good design. Today’s “moderns” are drawn to furniture that speaks for itself, and that instantly make a house a home. Over and over, Gen Z clients find themselves drawn to modern classics, those enduring chairs, tables and sofas that have been in demand over 50 years. It’s a starting point that has no end and a great place to start at that. From there, they often come to us.

In fact, when it comes to modern living, and that means lifestyle, (not the architecture of the house you live in) good design makes all the difference. We are talking about space-planning, surface materials and furnishings. For those who care, it’s a lifelong passion and an education.

Last year I had the pleasure of writing photo captions for a remarkable architect in Boulder (Laura Schaeffer) who is hired primarily to take vintage properties and give them a new life. She has a deep understanding of the way people live today and, without destroying the building’s original intent, breathes new energy into tired spaces. I learned a lot analyzing her work. I was always glad to see fine furniture pieces complete the story. Over and over, good design matters.

Our showroom is filled with the best of the best from Italy and beyond, places where design is as important as food. Come in and see what’s new. It will whet your appetite.
