Hi Everybody! It’s me, Kelly, the owner of Retro Modern. As many of you know last year I downsized the business and moved out of our retail showroom on Gavin St. Since that time, I have continued to work with many of you on pieces for your spaces.
I have been doing lots of thinking and inward searching about how to move forward since the downsize. When I created Retro Modern Furnishings, I wanted to provide an authentic experience offering timeless mid century modern design at its core. I wanted to celebrate the iconic designers of the past including Charles and Ray Eames, Eero Saarinen, George Nelson to name a few. But I also wanted to support up and coming designers. Ultimately, I modeled my brand concept after a well known furniture brand and store called Design Within Reach (DWR) that I knew we did not have in Raleigh.
Well how does the saying go? If you can’t beat them, join them! Today I am excited to announce I have started a new position with DWR as a Design Specialist. I will be working at a brand new brick and mortar store opening late summer in Raleigh -North Hills. Stay tuned for information about our grand opening. You are all invited of course!! I can’t wait to see your smiling faces again!
Whether you are sprucing up your home, business or are a trade professional, I can help you! AND I can offer you complimentary design services with shipping anywhere in the US or Canada. I would love to work with each of you personally. Feel free to continue to contact me through my Retro Modern accounts but you can also contact me at DWR. My email is [email protected] and direct phone line is 984-900-3918.
