There?s more than meets the eye at this Portland Danish-modern furniture reseller. Three warehouses more. We were tipped off by the kind shopkeeper at Canoe, where we were lured initially by the fantastic coffee tables (not for sale, and we don?t blame them) visible through the windows from the sidewalk.

Very blatant shilling by the owner/s in the above post.... not cool. trillium on Jul 4, 2008
Wow! I wish that I would have know about Look Modern sooner. I wasted way too much time sifting through the scratch and dent crud at other Portland “modern†stores. Unfortunately, I even bought a few not so great pieces because I am such a junky for Danish modern. Now I will be unloading those pieces on Craigslist to make room for a more sophisticated, truly Danish modern setting w/ the designer pieces I got from Look Modern.
Don’t think I’m just some sucker either. I did my homework. Look Modern has incredibly competitive prices – if you’re looking for top of the line design. Usually around Portland and other cities, “modern†stores have like one or maybe two really good pieces. Not so at Look. They have an enormous inventory that includes so many different great designer pieces. I’ve never been to, or for that matter even seen on the web, a store with such a huge selection to choose from.
Also, the owners are incredibly nice and fun to talk to. They have a lot of knowledge about all the furniture and the designers who created them. I’m not kidding. Just ask them about Hans Wegner, Finn Juhl, Arne Vodder, Peter Hvidt. It’s like getting a history lesson.
If you don’t believe me, check it out for yourself. You won’t find another store out there that has this kind of selection – unless you go to Denmark! And every piece looks like it’s brand new; how do they do that? There website is even packed w/ great stuff: www.lookmodern.com Look Modern is definitely where I will be purchasing all of my furnishings from now on! benson on May 19, 2008
