 he clean lines of a well-constructed object inspire a meditative pause. Simplicity confounds us. In one sweeping curve are two fundemental elements: the leg and back of a chair. An elongated ellipse sits low to the ground, basic geometry for the living room. Intertwined metal forms the base of a small stool. Organic shapes are molded in bright plastics. Form and function are interlocked in modern design. Modern is our passion at Chris Kennedy Antiques, though the notion of passion seems to contradict the deliberate, often playful elements of modernism. The constant surprise of modern design is a delight, the craftsmanship a marvel. Modern never ceases to be new. Streamlined and pared-down, modern decorative elements contain a clarity that meshes with our contemporary aesthetic, though modern is almost 75 years old. We deal with only those designers and manufacturers who produced modern furnishings between the years of 1925 through 1975. Because modernism is in high demand, we maintain an extensive and exclusive database on those looking for and selling modern pieces. We have contacts from around the country, and have made many connections and many sales through this resource. If you are looking for a specific piece of modern furniture, or would like to sell, fill out our request form. Also, check out our pick of the week.
