Vintage-furniture stores may be a dime a dozen, but this one, opened
by former gallery owner Paul Bright, stands out from the pack. In
addition to midcentury-modern pieces, the large, unpretentious space,
with unfinished-wood floors and tin ceilings, features work by
contemporary artists offered at mixed prices. Make a moderate
investment in a George Nelson round coffee table ($400), or go all out
on an insanely rare table that features a silver inset in the center
($2,500). Score a fashionable mid-’40s Herman Miller couch ($700) or
a late-’50s Eames compact sofa, upholstered with Alexander Girard–
designed brightly patterned fabric ($3,000). Art seekers can nab
Canadian artist Peter Thompson’s painted skateboard deck ($500),
Bjorn Copeland’s eye-popping collage ($3,000) or Japanese artist
Misaki Kawai’s six-by-four-foot colorful, whimsical painting
($9,000).
