Scandinavian Modernism represents a body of work that has had a tremendous impact on the furniture industry. Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian designers and manufacturers placed great importance on material, form, and simplicity. One of Norway’s great exporters, Westnofa (West Norway Factories), shared Scandinavian design with the world.

We love rosewood for both its rarity and its striking appearance. We aim to collect as many examples of modern design featuring rosewood as possible, with the goal of preserving these pieces and passing them on to clients who will cherish them for at least another lifetime. This pair of petite nightstands by Westnofa exhibits beautifully figured rosewood grain from every angle.

These pieces can be used as nightstands, as originally intended, or as end tables in a variety of settings. Their compact scale offers both practical surface area and functional storage with dovetailed drawers and open areas underneath. This pair of nightstands is part of a Westnofa rosewood suite that also includes an eight-drawer dresser, a tall gentleman’s chest, and a queen headboard.

The work of American of Martinsville, particularly pieces designed by Merton Gershun, has long appealed to us. Gershun’s restrained design language and refined proportions resulted in furniture that feels both understated and enduring.

This uncommon sideboard is among the rarer American of Martinsville pieces we have encountered. Its distinctive hardware immediately drew us in: recessed brass bail pulls sit flush within each drawer front when not in use, while a series of overlapping rings lends an unexpected decorative detail to the base. To celebrate these thoughtful design elements, each piece of hardware has been carefully restored in a light gold finish.

Crafted in ash veneer, the cabinet has been completely refinished in a rich dark cognac brown that beautifully accentuates the wood’s striking grain while providing a warm contrast to the restored hardware.

Florence Knoll's transformative influence on Mid-Century design is reflected in every piece of furniture that bears her name, including this elegant dining table. As a pioneer in interior design, Knoll founded the renowned "Planning Unit," serving illustrious clients like IBM and CBS while reshaping the modern American home and workspace.

Knoll’s commitment to functionality and aesthetics often led her to design furniture for spaces that lacked suitable options, resulting in the creation of her now-iconic furniture collection. From sofas and lounge chairs to tables, each piece embodies her timeless vision of modernism and continues to grace homes and offices with understated elegance.

This visually weightless table was originally marketed as both a desk and a dining table. The oval top, crafted from exquisite Gray marble, features crisp white veins and a refined bullnosed edge inspired by Eero Saarinen’s iconic Tulip Pedestal Tables. The base, however, is distinctly Florence Knoll—an ingenious design of four solid cast steel splayed legs converging into a single central column. This masterfully balanced structure achieves a remarkable sense of weightlessness, despite its substantial materials.

This vintage iteration, circa 1980, remains in excellent original condition, showcasing only minor wear consistent with its age and history. It is a testament to Florence Knoll’s ability to combine monumental craftsmanship with an enduring sense of modern sophistication, making it an ideal centerpiece for any discerning collector or design enthusiast.

With the goal of creating pieces of high-design that differed from contemporaries such as Knoll and Herman Miller, Irving & Leon Rosen founded the Pace Collection in 1960. They looked to the simplicity of materials to be the voice of their collection, all expertly fabricated and finished. Polished metals and high gloss exotic veneers were commonplace and to this day remain unapologetically Pace.

A prime example from the Pace Collection, and one which is rarely seen, is this exquisitely executed Accent Table. The design is almost magical as the glass appears to simply float, only secured by one brass column of support. The piece comes together with just one threaded fastener under the solid brass disc which sits atop the glass. The assemblage of glistening bulldozed edge glass, polished brass, and simple wedge geometry create a piece of home décor akin to fine jewelry.

This table retains its original glass, while some minor wear exists, it is in very good condition with no chips whatsoever. The brass base shows signs of rich patina which adds to the piece’s seasoned appearance. This table can be used in a multitude of settings: a drink table, cigar table, between two club chairs, or accompanying a lounge - the options are limitless.

This phenomenal petite vanity is very much in the style of Gio Ponti, as his delicate and diminutive aesthetic is ever present throughout the piece. A small label, written in Italian on the underside, offers evidence of its origin.

The exquisite rosewood is the highlight of an otherwise simple and highly practical work of functional design. Solid brass adorns the piece, accenting the rosewood with jewelry-like corner wraps, pulls, and sabots.

We discovered that the interior storage space was once illuminated, and as such, we worked to restore that feature. The new lighting is set behind glass within the storage compartment, and the entire piece has been refinished.

We’ve always been drawn to Jens Risom’s work. His aesthetic forms a harmonious bridge between Danish and American design, a balance he mastered effortlessly.

This Risom “Model 108” chair has enough presence to stand confidently on its own within a space. It delights from every angle, framed by the beautifully angled and contoured woodwork for which Risom is known.

After refinishing the walnut frame, we found ourselves inspired by its color and grain. For contrast, we selected a cashmere-like alpaca fabric for the upholstery.

In the world of Mid-Century Modern design, especially in the high-end market, the name John Stuart stands out. The elegant yet elusive "John Stuart Inc." label is often found on pieces of exceptional design. In some cases, this label appears alongside the "Johnson Furniture Co." mark, both companies proudly based in the furniture capital of the time, Grand Rapids. John Stuart, a pioneer in his field, built a brand known for distributing only the finest furniture and home décor. His line included Danish imports under the John Stuart brand and close collaborations with Johnson Furniture Co., which featured designs by the renowned Paul Frankl. These nightstands are a perfect example of this partnership: curated by John Stuart, crafted by Johnson Furniture Co., and, based on our research, confidently attributed to Paul Frankl himself.

These 3-drawer nightstands exemplify exceptional design. A close look reveals that every detail has been thoughtfully executed, characteristic of Paul Frankl's work. The choice of materials alone speaks to their superior quality: walnut exteriors, oak and mahogany dovetailed drawers, and brass inlays and pulls. Reproducing such craftsmanship today would be a daunting task, which inspired us to restore them to their fullest potential.

Each nightstand has been meticulously refinished, both inside and out, restoring them to a near-new condition. The walnut exteriors have been stained in a timeless ebony, allowing the warmth of the wood to subtly shine through. The brass inlays framing the drawers and defining the base have been polished to a brilliant sheen, creating a striking contrast with the ebony finish. The proportions are masterfully balanced, with details like the gradual increase in drawer size and the way the drawers appear to float above their base, showcasing the artistry behind their design.

Brian Kane's Swoop Collection for Herman Miller embodies a modern interpretation of midcentury style, particularly showcased through the Swoop Plywood Lounge Chair. Kane meticulously studied the interaction between people and public seating, noting how users contort themselves into often uncomfortable and nonfunctional furniture. His aim was to create a collection that genuinely accommodated the natural human form and its spontaneous behaviors.

The Swoop Plywood Lounge Chair is a tribute to Herman Miller’s esteemed legacy, deeply influenced by the groundbreaking work of Charles and Ray Eames. Renowned for their pioneering use of molded plywood, the Eameses delivered furniture designs that have become timeless icons. Kane has adeptly modernized this motif, incorporating elegant upholstered "Swoops" that embrace the body in any chosen posture. This chair is designed to accommodate various sitting positions—whether upright, angled, or reclined—ensuring comfort and support in every scenario.

Our team has reupholstered these chairs in a warm camel-toned suiting wool, creating a sophisticated contrast against the elegant grain of ash wood and sleek chrome accents. The muted palette allows them to seamlessly integrate into a variety of spaces while their sculptural form adds a striking visual element. Brian Kane’s Swoop Plywood Lounge Chair is meant to be admired from every angle, and this refreshed aesthetic ensures its timeless appeal for years to come.

While modular design is commonplace today, it was still somewhat novel during the time of Otto Zapf, the designer of this now-discontinued Knoll Zapf Executive Chair.

Each cushion in Zapf’s design was intended to be swappable and interchangeable.

Beneath lies an ingenious frame onto which the cushions attach securely.

The world of lighting design has evolved far beyond simple utility, entering a realm where form meets art and sculpture. Few names embody this movement better than Koch & Lowy, whose Mid-Century Modern designs continue to influence contemporary aesthetics. This Modernist Task Lamp is a striking example of their forward-thinking, timeless work.

A modernist interpretation of the classic Mid-Century mushroom form, the lamp features a semi-polished aluminum finish that is softer and more refined than a full polish. Hidden within its UFO-like shade is a circular fluorescent bulb, thoughtfully updated with a new warm-white replacement for today’s use.

Composed of just three seamlessly integrated elements—the shade, finial cap, and solid metal base—this minimalist lamp achieves elegance through simplicity. Its understated design allows it to complement a wide range of interiors, a hallmark of Koch & Lowy’s enduring appeal.

The design world thrives on both competition and collaboration, each playing a role in shaping notable work and driving aesthetic evolution. In 1897, two successful companies and fierce rivals, Heywood Brothers and Wakefield Company, merged to form the renowned Heywood-Wakefield. Today, the brand is celebrated for its extensive portfolio of highly sought-after furniture. Like any forward-thinking company, its designs evolved through numerous stylistic shifts over time. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Heywood-Wakefield explored forms influenced by French Art Deco. Pieces from this period are rarely encountered, including this pair of sculptural M340C armchairs, which have been fully restored in our workroom.

The Object Refinery team stripped these chairs down to their frames to carry out a comprehensive restoration. A whitewash finish was applied to the birchwood, creating a relaxed and understated look. The light wood frames pair beautifully with the natural lambswool used on the upholstered seat and back. This thick pile material is exceptionally soft to the touch. The combination of a sculptural wood frame and plush shearling cushions creates a striking sense of balance and visual appeal from every angle.

These chairs have undergone a full restoration in the Object Refinery workroom. As vintage pieces, they show minor wear consistent with age and history. Each frame was refinished by hand, and along with new lambswool upholstery, both chairs feature new foam padding. The result is a thoughtfully updated pair that has been carefully preserved for years to come.

Charles Hollis Jones’ aesthetic is immediately recognizable amongst those in search of iconic pieces of design. Jones understood how to create with substance while primarily using the airiest of materials: lucite. The motif is very much his signature, one that remains an inspiration to this day in the world of contemporary design. Though with this candle holder we have his own work, a delightful marriage of clear lucite with polished brass hardware; a combination so well done in a way only Jones’ could do.

This candle holder is an assemblage of countless parts, expertly fastened, resulting in a single piece of rigid heavyweight design. Seven polished clear lucite blocks are evenly spread with polished brass spacers and finished with two brass finials on each side. Atop each lucite block are cast brass candle holders which are also polished, a gorgeous complement to their lucite bases.

While under the direction of Florence Knoll, her namesake company was known for more than just the impressive portfolio of designs still celebrated to this day. Knoll’s teams of talented designers, the best in their respective categories, were tasked with a multitude of duties such as comprehensive interiors in the “Planning Unit” where Vincent Cafiero worked as a Senior Designer. One project Cafiero would work on was the famed CBS interior of 1965. His time after the “Planning Unit” was focused designing Knoll’s own showrooms.

Cafiero also designed a small collection of furniture during his time at Knoll which responded to the designs of his time. Whereas organic “bucket” forms were ubiquitous, Cafiero opted to introduce a clean-lined minimalist approach to Executive seating. One piece from his collection is this Executive Task Chair which very much inherited Knoll’s design DNA with formal blind tufts and definitive geometry. Cafiero’s superior in quality designs have since been discontinued making them highly sought after amongst discerning collectors.

The Object Refinery team brought this piece right down to its frame for a full restoration. The new upholstery re-implements Cafiero’s intentional design details such as the careful use of piping and a grid of blind tufts on both the back and seat. The original stainless steel base is not only a discontinued Knoll design, but it’s 5-leg layout is far less seen than Knoll’s 4-leg design of the time.

Good design is often born from a desire to challenge the norm. In the late 1940s, friends and collaborators Florence Knoll and Eero Saarinen found themselves disillusioned by the rigid, uninspired nature of lounge seating at the time — and they sought a revolution. Knoll expressed to Saarinen her frustration at having to sit "properly," as traditional designs so often demanded. Saarinen, inspired by her complaint, set out to create a chair that would not only satisfy his friend’s request but also make a groundbreaking statement.

Saarinen recognized a fundamental human desire for primal comfort, leading him to envision a form with organic roots. Traditional furniture-making techniques, however, could not achieve the form he imagined. Together, Knoll and Saarinen turned to emerging technologies in cast fiberglass and resin, practically redefining what a chair could be. Saarinen called this new creation Model 70 — though it would soon be universally known as "The Womb": a chair where Florence Knoll, and millions after her, could sit freely, comfortably, and in any position they wished, enveloped in a cocoon of comfort true to its name.

Knoll continues to handcraft the Womb Chair in keeping with Eero Saarinen’s original vision and specifications. This particular example is an early production model, dated 1965 on its fiberglass shell. Our team has meticulously restored both the chair and ottoman, upholstering them in a luxurious Angora Mohair in a deep Chocolate tone. The mohair’s rich texture pairs beautifully with the original black enameled frame, which remains in very good condition with only minor wear consistent with age. A true icon of modern design, this Womb Chair has been thoughtfully preserved and restored, ready to offer comfort and style just as Florence and Eero intended.

Over the past century, lighting design has undergone a remarkable evolution. Today, we find ourselves at a pinnacle of creativity, where designers continually push the boundaries of form, function, and material. This spirit of innovation, however, was ignited decades ago by pioneers of the 1950s and 1960s—visionaries who broke from the ornate styles of the past and embraced bold, modernist ideas. Among them was Gerald Thurston, a name now synonymous with Mid-Century Modern lighting. Though little is known about his personal life, Thurston's legacy lives on through his iconic designs for Lightolier, which remain highly sought after by collectors and designers alike.

This floor lamp is a striking example of Thurston’s design philosophy. Sleek and sculptural, its slender silhouette commands attention with a refined contrast of glossy piano black and radiant brass. More than just aesthetically captivating, the lamp is also highly functional. The oversized shade rotates freely to direct light precisely where it's needed, while the brass neck adjusts in height with a smooth, spring-loaded mechanism—an engineering detail that exemplifies both Thurston’s ingenuity and Lightolier’s enduring quality.

We’ve chosen to preserve the lamp’s original character. A graceful patina—earned through decades of use—adds depth and authenticity. The wiring and turn-switch are original and fully operational, though rewiring is available upon request.

Whether placed beside a sofa, in a cozy reading nook, or illuminating a workspace, this Gerald Thurston floor lamp adds timeless elegance and thoughtful design to any interior. It’s not just lighting—it’s a piece of design history.

It is often said that modern design is timeless, this is unequivocally true with the Brno Chair, possibly one of the most iconic pieces of design in existence. Its designer, the great Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, could very well be known as one of the founding fathers of the Mid-Century Modern design movement. His work is deeply rooted in the Bauhaus from which this chair came to be. Only Mies van der Rohe, with his sage-like mastery of minimalism, could have consistently produced work still relevant nearly 100 years later.

This set of four Brno Flat-Bar Chairs retain their original leather upholstery in the color Ivory. They also feature upholstered arm pads which is a feature only available by special order. As these are contemporary iteration Brno Chairs, their frames are crafted from steel which are chrome plated and finished with a mirror polish.

Founded in 1960 by Irving and Leon Rosen, the Pace Collection set out to create designs that stood apart from contemporaries like Knoll and Herman Miller. Their focus was on the expressive power of materials, with polished metals, high-gloss exotic veneers, and expert fabrication that remain unmistakably Pace.

Among their most recognizable designs is the waterfall motif table, produced in a range of shapes, sizes, and finishes.

Florence Knoll's profound impact on Mid-Century design is evident in every piece of furniture that bears her name, including this famed Florence Knoll Coffee Table. As a trailblazer in commercial interior design, Knoll founded the "Planning Unit" that serviced illustrious clients such as IBM and CBS, all while revolutionizing the modern American workspace.

During her tenure, Knoll often encountered spaces that lacked suitable furnishings, prompting her to design them herself. This initiative led to the creation of the iconic furniture collection we are familiar with today, renowned for its timeless aesthetic and functional elegance. Among these creations are her Sofas, Lounge Chairs, and Tables, which continue to adorn both homes and offices, always epitomizing the essence of modernism.

This particular Florence Knoll Coffee Table features its original Calacatta marble top, a luxurious stone prized for its rich, warm golden veining. To honor and preserve the integrity of the piece, we had the marble professionally polished—restoring it to its original factory finish, or perhaps even better. The top is supported by a polished chrome steel frame, a hallmark of Knoll’s aesthetic, offering both strength and style. While the frame does exhibit some wear consistent with age—including a patch of corrosion on the underside—this area is fully concealed beneath the marble and not visible during use. We’ve meticulously polished the frame and treated the affected area; detailed photos are available upon request. The table has been priced with this in mind, and we are happy to offer re-chroming services if desired. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions, we’re glad to provide any additional information you may need.
