Our Philosophy
We Believe:
in surrounding ourselves with beauty. In offering exceptional pieces that are design-driven and well-made at a fair price. In sourcing quality products made from sustainable processes, when possible. Doing the right thing. In joy; Laughter frees us and brings happiness to those around us. In balance; By working hard but enjoying the moments along the way. In gratitude; To ourselves, our community, our vendors, our team. In Resilience; things may not always go according to plan but we learn, adapt, and move forward.
Our Design Approach
EWF subscribes to Organic Modern; the fundamental philosophy that design takes its cue from nature. The clean lines, soft sensual shapes, and tactile treasures of nature translate into sophisticated furnishings and accessories with organic properties.
Our Products
EWF Modern provides a harmonious blend of an organic modern aesthetic and sustainable process. In-store, you’ll find exclusive modern dining room tables, beds, and case goods made from sustainable woods. We’ve got supple leather modern sofas + sectionals, and soft contemporary furnishings made of leather, wool, waxed cotton, powder-coated metals, and other North American and Italian materials.
History
Owner Renee Russo introduced her style agenda—a mix of handcrafted Asian antiques and modern western accessories—with the opening of East West Fusion in 2002. The success of that venture inspired a new direction to the other side of the design dial and she launched EWF Modern in April 2007. Her curatorial efforts showcase pieces that embody her love of sustainable processes and design that takes its cue from nature.
