More Exciting Additions from Pure Modern!

Ok, so new Dining Chairs may not be the most exciting of possible additions, but at Pure Modern we’re always adding sleek furniture like this and it might not always be obvious when we do. So among all the juicy additions of late, here are a few interesting designs, starting with the Taft Dining Chair and its multiple finishes pictured below.

We feature something original for every room of the house, and frequently add cool new pieces such as these: the Sydney Stackable Chair, the Arden Occasional Lounge and the Jasper Side Chair (pictured below from left to right).

Unearthed from the George Nelson Archives!

These ceramic clocks were originally designed in 1953 and developed as far as the production stage, but for “reasons unknown” they never ultimately made it to the market. Now, reproduced by Vitra based on the original plans and prototypes, these evocative sculptures are beautifully crafted of glazed ceramic. Each clock includes a rechargeable battery so it will be ready-to-go out of the box! See them here.

It’s hard to find a great looking, modern window film. Well, it used to be.. Check out Emma Jeff’s Adhesive Window Film right here for a variety of styles sure to accent any door or window. Personally I use one of those “fake stained glass” designs myself but that just happens to fit the decor.
