On Giving Thanks and Finding Hope

The holidays can be many things for people; happiness, stress, loneliness, nostalgia.  Though these feelings can vary from person to person, there is the underlying belief that we should all be thankful this time of year. Retail plays a huge role during the holiday season.  We venture out in the cold, the rain, and even the snow, searching for the perfect gift for each of our loved ones.  Again, this tradition can stir up many emotions, but there is a reason we do this every year...

My coworker, Jill, sums it up wonderfully: Shopping is hope.

This seems like a strange statement, but ultimately, she is right.  The gifts we purchase give us something special to look forward to; the look on our friend or family members face, making someone you care about happy, the simple joy of giving.  Receiving a gift is equally important, and these moments connect us year after year.

So, there is definitely hope in shopping, and in this hope we find thanks for those around us and time spent together.  Let EWF Modern be a part of the joy you and your loved ones experience this year.  Happy Thanksgiving and cheers to a memorable holiday season.

Introducing Maria Yee

Maria Yee is a lifestyle design company that fuses modern aesthetic with handcrafted construction.  The company focuses on environmental responsibility through a variety of sustainable practices. Their solid hardwood furniture uses responsibly grown and harvested trees, and many pieces are crafted using rapidly renewable bamboo.

No nails or screws are used on these gorgeous pieces of furniture.  Instead, the company has refined the traditional technique of breathing joinery and tailored it to the modern manufacturing environment.

Here at EWF Modern, we strive to find companies that care about sustainability, which is why Maria Yee is a perfect addition to the multitude of lines we currently carry.

The Right Leather Grade For You

Choosing a high quality grade of leather when purchasing a new sofa is extremely important!  At EWF Modern, we believe in providing only the best leather options for our clients. Below is some information about the leather grades we provide on all the sofas in our showroom to help you choose what is right for you.

Full-grain: This type of leather is minimally treated and is the most natural in look and texture.  It showcases the depth of character in each particular hide.

Top-grain: This leather is lightly sanded or buffed to smooth out imperfections in each hide for a more consistent look in grain over an entire piece of furniture.

Aniline dyed:  This is the lightest treatment available for leather and uses no pigment in the process.  It simply enhances the color of the natural hide and is typically used on full-grain leather.

Semi-aniline dyed:  This level of treatment still lets some of the natural characteristics shine through but uses a light pigment to even out coloring.  A thin topcoat is also applied to decrease fading and help with soil-resistance.

 

 

In our Pearl District showroom, all the leather grade options for our sofas fall within the high-quality categories mentioned above.  It's up to you to decide which works best for you home and lifestyle.

AiPD Presents: Dressing Rooms

Click the image for a link to the Portland Monthly feature. In early May, we hosted the campaign photography and sponsored AiPD's annual fashion show. The show was called Dressing Rooms, wherein different Portland neighborhoods were selected for inspiration. Interior design and fashion design students came together to create dress ensemble and living spaces to match. EWF Modern is proud to be a part of Portland's creative community and collaboration.
