This is the most amazing place that I pass by on my way to work. I start work before it opens. I finish long after it closes. So it took me a few tries to actually get into the place, and I can safely say that I’m thankful I did. Even just to pass through the amazing furniture, to smell the history, class and price tag of the all the bits arranged beautifully so. There is a fashion trend visible here, a wave the shop seems to sit confidentiality upon. The way it juxtaposes the Scandinavian furniture with nostalgic Melbournian signage gives you a little bit of time warp, a small black hole in your design history. Have these pieces always belonged together. I cannot say I have ever bought anything from here, but I like to think I will some day. It looks and feels amazing and well kept, and the lady behind the desk — sometimes feeling a little like part of the furniture — looks up and smiles to every customer that enters.

I like to joke with people I know that fashion is my victim, but really I’m just a fashion victim. And try as I might, I am too easily swayed by trends. And so I love 20th Century Scandinavia. It’s so obviously the style of furniture to have right now, and if it wasn’t obvious before, just take a look at the price tags attached to each bloody Eames chair. It’s hard to deny that this era of Scandinavian furniture is particularly elegant, stylish and urban without looking at all try-hard or copycat, and it does fit so easily into Melbourne homes of a certain era. The furniture is this large beautifully laid-out store is all top quality stuff in exceptional condition and so the prices shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise. If I could afford it, I so would.
