Modern Style Backless Counter or Bar Stool in Cowhide and Polished Brass Frame

Family-owned and -operated furniture company Modshop not only specializes in creating what the founders call “home furnishings and accessories for your soul,” but it is also turning heads among Hollywood’s elite. The brand’s eclectic designs draw on Scandinavian modernism, 1960s flamboyance and Hollywood Regency as much as they do industrial and urban lofts-style decor — and almost everything else in between.

Founded by husband-and-wife team John and Taryn Bernard in Los Angeles, California, Modshop — which began with a single retail location in 2000 — is fueled by the Bernards’ background in fashion design. The owners create unique, on-trend modern furniture such as plush ottomans with polished brass frames, patterned credenzas in the Art Deco style and sleek lucite dining tables that appeal to a comfortable and relaxed lifestyle. Custom furniture is also a Modshop speciality, as the brand frequently consults with clients to create personalized furniture designs.

Over the years, Modshop has counted Hollywood’s hottest celebrities among their clientele. Music moguls Jay-Z and Beyoncé outfitted their New York City offices with 14 pieces of Modshop-created artwork, while the brand created custom furniture for talk show host Ellen Degeneres’s Hollywood Hills home as well as for the homes of media personalities and models Paris and Nicky Hilton.

Modshop has also taken on interior design projects for notable restaurants, hotels and retailers throughout the United States, such as Nordstrom and Valentino. Sushi restaurant Katsuya features numerous Modshop designs in its downtown Los Angeles location, and the company designed the interiors and guest rooms of the Palm Springs Hotel. In recent years, Modshop collaborated with interior design firm Davis Ink Ltd to create furniture and decor for numerous Southern California nightclubs.

Modshop has showrooms in Los Angeles, New York, Dallas, Miami and Chicago. The company's vibrant and fun designs are favorites of interior decorators and furniture collectors around the world.
