Haute Moderne

One of the best ways to add depth and character to your space is to add a few modern classic pieces. ModeModerne is the perfect place to find those pieces. Behind the orange doors of this chic Old City furniture boutique lay the amazing works of Saarinen, Knoll, Herman Miller and  Curtis Jere', just to name a few.

The owners of the boutique, Michael Glatfelter and Michael Wilson have created an alluring environment that is reminiscent of sleek smoking lounges and martini's bars from the 50-60's. The pieces that this fabulous pair of Michael's have collected over the years each tell a story. Together they have formed an enticing environment made up of artwork, furniture and accessories. The store owners gather only the best pieces that were created by artist and craftsmen; who's designs have transcended time.

At ModeMorderne they  appreciate the ability to transform a room using  one of a kind treasures. Each piece is hand picked and refinished by the store owners.  They have an uncanny ability to restore these pieces that they find in estate sales, down sized homes and auctions.

When I walked in the other day they were having a 60"Saarinen Tulip Table top refinished. The beautiful carrera marble top  was being restored to it's former glory and will make an amazing addition to any space. Whether it's a dinning table in a city loft or a multi purpose desk/dining/meeting table within a chic studio, it will add a charm that nothing else possibly could.

Along with the furniture they also have amazing accessories and art work spread all though out the store. If you are ever in Old City Philadelphia I insist that you add ModeModerne to your itinerary. If you weren't planning a trip into Philly anytime soon, ModeModerne  items are also available on 1st Dibs.
