Red Modern Furniture
Red Modern Furniture is a unique store specializing in limited-production, fine furniture from the turn of the century to present day, with a particular expertise in pieces from the ’50s through the ’70s, and especially those from America, Italy and Denmark. Does it get any more specialized than that? And true to its interests, the company has set up shop in a two-story, concrete, glass and steel building that was built in 1954, making a shopping trip to Red something of a stepping-backwards-through-time experience. It will also be a mind-blowing experience for those who have dedicated themselves to all things vintage. Have a delicate piece that needs some work done? Red also offers full upholstery refinishing and custom fabrication services.
