Gushing over Gus*Modern • Days left to Save!

If you haven’t had a chance to shop the Gus*Modern Summer Sale, now is your time to dive in. Until August 15^th, Weisshouse is taking 20% off of an array of modern pieces ranging from sectionals to accent chairs.

What is there to love about Gus? This design powerhouse gives a fresh take on mid-century design with a well rounded portfolio of clean lined sofas and unique accent pieces. While we’re die hard fans of vintage finds, we applaud Gus' ability to take the Mad Men aesthetic into the 21^st century with crisp tailoring and unexpected color combinations.

The Carmichael Sofa and Chair takes mid century sensibilities, with its slightly tapered legs and clean lines, and adds an modern flair with it's unexpected angles and striking color options. If you're feeling bold, opt for a sunny Citrine upholstery.

The Truss Chair nestles nicely into traditional and modern settings. Its natural ash base boasts an ultramodern, architectural design while recalling the Danish lounge chairs of the 60s.

Bedroom in need of an upgrade? The Gus*Modern Summer Sale also offers discounts on a handful of sleek beds. If you're struggling to settle on a headboard, the Switch Bed has a reversible headboard so you can achieve a subtle change on a whim. 

Sale ends August 15th, so stop in to browse additional styles and upholstery choices!

Just Announced: The Pantone Color of the Year is Marsala

There has been a lot of buzz around the announcement of Pantone’s 2015 Color of the Year – Marsala.

This subdued hue seems a swift departure from last year’s Radiant Orchid or 2013s Emerald. Instead, Marsala offers a subtle warmth that serves as a hearty statement color for the chillier seasons. And while some have expressed some reservations about the color’s strength to weather Spring and Summer styles, we think that the welcoming red-brown is a bold accent that will make your pastels pop.

While exploring our floor, we found Marsala sprinkled throughout the showroom. Below is a sampling of our favorites in next year’s hot hue.

Clockwise from top: Floor Lamp, $545  |  Leman Chair, $1420  |  Inlay box, $250  |  Metropolitan Chair and Ottoman, $4854  |  Vintage Signed Silk Screen Print, $295

The Stylish Cherner Chair: Since 1958

Weisshouse is proud to carry Cherner Chairs. The original, now iconic molded plywood chair was designed by Norman Cherner and just happens to be a favorite design staple among clients and designers.

"Norman Cherner's furniture designs include the "multi-flex" modular storage system, the "Konwiser Line" of furniture and lighting, and molded plywood seating for Plycraft which he designed in 1958. The molded plywood ‘Cherner Chair' became his most recognized design and is found in furniture collections worldwide." (www.chernerchair.com)

Today, the Cherner legacy is carried on by Benjamin and Thomas Cherner. "After listening to countless requests from fellow Architects to see his father's designs reissued, Benjamin decided to join with his brother Thomas to form the Cherner Chair Company in 1999. Since then the Cherner Chair Company has brought back into production many of Norman Cherner's most popular designs. Utilizing his original drawings and specifications, the reissued designs are manufactured with the same attention to detail found in the original hand made classics. Cherner Chair products are now distributed through dealers worldwide." (www.chernerchair.com)

Your Comfy Nest: Part 1 - Planning

All Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams furniture, lighting and accessories are on sale now through May 5th. It's a great way to save up to 25% on your new favorite furnishings! In addition to the sale, Weisshouse is giving a free copy of "The Comfortable Home" book written by Mitchell Gold and Bob Williams. "The Comfortable Home" helps you get in touch with your wants and needs. It's an easy to follow approach to designing your home in a beautiful and comfortable way...

The first chapter is devoted to planning. According to the book, "...planning begins with thinking about how you live and what changes could be made to your home to make your life run more smoothly. Then you need to figure out how to make these changes, affordably and in a style that feels natural to you." We couldn't have said it better ourselves! Another great tip is to ask yourself this question: What's the first thing you want people to see when they enter the room? Some things we love to see when we walk into a room are art, a statement piece of furniture like a great chair in a bold fabric or a perfectly made bed framed by eye catching nightstands or bedside tables. Check out the photos below for some items (all available @ Weisshouse) that YOU may want people to see when they first enter a room in your home and check back tomorrow for Part 2 of this blog series. Finally, don't forget to follow us on Facebook for even more design news and tips!

Comfortably Green

Since 1989, Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams has been a leader in the green furniture movement. Just recently and just in time for Earth Day's 42nd birthday, they have decided to partner with Maryland-based environmental and activist non-profit firm, TREES FOR THE FUTURE. TREES FOR THE FUTURE has planted over 50 million trees across the globe! For the next 29 days (4/22-5/22), Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams will plant 10 trees for every piece of Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams upholstery* purchased via their independent stores like Weisshouse and signature stores via their Plant-A-Tree partnership. What could that mean for the environment? They could plant approximately 40,000 trees across the globe in areas desperate in need of environmental rehabilitation. That's a lot of fresh air! Run (or bike), don't walk to Weisshouse where you can purchase anything from Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams. 1 Sofa = 10 Trees!
