Every now and again I get some readers who write in and share their tips on how to make modernism affordable. The following is by Michael Cohen. Let him know what you think.
I was intrigued by your discussion and frustration about modernism’s promise (or broken promise) of affordable, quality design for the masses. My little secret to buying modernist design is loyally cruising sample and floor sales. Of course, I live in NYC so the showrooms are more accessible than for someone who lives in Des Moines. But here’s a few tips: Terance Conran has a floor sale starting on July 7 and ddc has ongoing 50% off clearance in the basement as well as online. Also, Design Within Reach usually has some decent sales ongoing. Then, one of my favorite used/vintage dealers, Mod Haus, has a huge warehouse in Boston and some of it goes up on their website.
