F.Y.I.

Faux Fur may be considered an essential in women’s fashion this season but its not when it comes to your furniture. Fortunately we are enlightened (or so we like to think) and had it re-upholstered. We selected a luxurious Pendleton charcoal wool to compliment its classic elegance. Let us know what you think!

The Public Isolation Project

A friend of the Good Mod's, Cristin Norine, "will spend one month living within the confines of the bSIDE6 Gallery—in total view from the gallery’s windows. Her isolation will be alleviated solely by digital interactions with the outside world. Viewers of the piece will reflect on their own expanded accessibility that technology has brought them."





Learn more about and follow along with this interesting project on their website: http://www.publicisolationproject.com

"Cristin Norine exhibits: The Future of Socializing

Technologies like social media and smart phones make it easier to correspond with others more frequently, but could these forms of communication replace analog interactions completely? Cristin’s communication restrictions will allow her to explore this idea and determine how it affects her physically and emotionally. "

How Not to Reupholster Classic Furniture

Oh no he didn't. We just picked up this sofa compact from a guy who had put there own "funky touch" on a iconic piece of furniture from one of the greatest 20th century designers . Bad move. Faux leopard skin? I don't think so. That stuff is coming off and being donated to one of the many funky shops in town.

Our theory is: when reupholstering any of this mid century modern or clean, minimal designed furniture, stick with something solid or at least not distracting from the form of the piece. Sure, there are exceptions to the rule, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say no faux leopard skin EVER!

We will be recovering this gem soon. Any ideas for materials, textures or colors?
We always want to hear your feedback. Please leave comments!

Also, as always, this piece is for sale and can be customized with the fabric you want. And as always, we are here to help. We have a in-house upholster and on-site design consulting to assist. Come see us!
