We have made the transition from a local only business to an international one. We buy from all over the world. We have international taste, appreciating the world of good design. We recognize the contributions made by the early modernist architect's who were forced to innovate new ideals in design to inhabit their buildings. So much of this was done while still recognizing classic lines and design. Interestingly enough, the combination of clean modern lines and the classic makes for superior design.
I think it is the combination of these elements in our shop that has enabled us to transcend from being a local business to a national, and now an international one. From the beginning in our relationship with 1stdibs, we sold an item or two to foreign companies. This last week it struck home. We sold to France, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, Italy, Switzerland, Russia, Japan, and Canada as well as in the states. Some of our furniture has gone to Los Angelos for Designers, Photo Shoots, and even Movies . It is fun being on the edge of exciting things. There is a thrill when you open a magazine and see an item that you sold being used by the Designer.
