A Nod to Mod

Clean, spare, modern, timeless. Whether these pieces are reissues, reinterpretations or completely original, they look to the past for design inspiration while embracing current trends and desires. These are truly the "comfort food" for the homes of the boomer generation, but have found a whole new audience with the X's and Y's.

In perfect balance, the console by Jens Risom for Ralph Pucci International.

For the media room or the board room or maybe the man cave, the Dexter Chair by Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams.

The epitome of the modern design aesthetic, Christian Liaigre at Holly Hunt, offers the Ile de Re Armchair.

Rob and Laura Petrie never had it so good.
