Just Arrived: New Fall 2013 Vintage at Weisshouse

Our buyers just returned from fall market with a truck load of amazing vintage finds like a 6' wide apothecary cabinet, a rustic work bench that could be re-purposed as a desk or table and a set of ten adjustable height chrome stools just to name a few. We plan to feature as many of our new vintage arrivals as we possibly can in the coming weeks, but this little collection was inspired by a tour on Apartment Therapy of a couple who know how to mix rustic and eclectic pieces with a result that is a warm, inviting home for two! Check out the complete story here. Visit our website to view our entire vintage and unique collection or stop by or showroom.

Weisshouse Chimes in on Global Design Trends

There are so many new design trends hitting the pages of magazines like Interior Design, Dwell, Architectural Digest and Lonny Mag for 2013. Some of these trends have even gone global. One of the hottest design trends to go global is "Minimalism". There are many creative ways to approach this trend without looking too institutional. One of the ways a minimal interior can be both soothing and simple and playful is to use hints of bright, beautiful color! Choose your main pieces (sofa, chairs, tables, lighting) in a crisp white or soft, natural linen and choose colors that speak to you to elevate your interior and add some personality with accessories. Colorful striped wall paper, bright pillows, artwork and painted focal walls are all effective in adding just the correct dose of color. We love how husband-and-wife team, Katarzyna and Tomasz Widawscy favor minimalist, white interiors but added pops of color to make their clients with two young children happy. Their clients asked that bright color figure prominently in the 970-square-foot Warsaw apartment. Check out the complete story here featured on www.interiordesign.net. Create your very own minimalist interior with the help of Weisshouse and our talented team of designers! Visit our Highland Avenue showroom during normal business hours or visit us at www.weisshouse.com 24 hours a day.

American Industrial Designer, Russell Wright

It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, every piece of vintage furniture is worth a thousand words too and always has an interesting past and story to tell. A new shipment of vintage furniture has just arrived at Weisshouse and each piece is incredibly unique. One piece in particular, a small side table designed by Russell Wright is the focus of this blog.

From our website (www.weisshouse.com): Russel Wright (April 3, 1904 – December 21, 1976) was an American Industrial designer during the 20th century. Beginning in the late 1920s through the 1960s, Russel Wright created a succession of artistically distinctive and commercially successful items that helped bring modern design to the general public. Wright designed a succession of popular furniture lines for many furniture companies beginning in the early 1930s through the 1950s. His most popular line of essentially Art Deco American Modern “blonde” wooden furniture was produced by the Conant-Ball company of Gardner, Massachusetts between 1935 and 1939, and bore the branded mark “American Modern Built by Conant-Ball Co. Designed by Russel Wright.”
