LOOK NO. 1

“We buy and sell furniture, but we sprinkle our own personal style with that. You never have that juxtaposition. It’s never existed until now.” -Jared

LOOK NO. 2

“Our styles are pretty utilitarian because of what we do. It has to look good enough to move a couch up five flights and be on a meeting in 10 minutes.” *laughs* -Ed

“Our designs are meant to be a white tee for your crib. Something you can pair any chair, any couch with.” -Ed

LOOK NO. 3

“We like bits and pieces of mid-century and post-modern, but didn’t wanna stay in any of those specific lanes.” -Ed

“It’s like clothing too. It all should mix together.” -Jared
