The furniture is amazing. I just realized this is Amsterdam Modern- http://amsterdammodern.com/) Ellen, is half owner NOT COLLABORATOR, and has half of this store the built together. There is a warehouse too. I would have liked to hear and see more about the furniture.
Why didn't they mention anything about Amsterdam Modern? I was under the impression that this store was Mohawk General Store and Amsterdam Modern....I'm confused. Amsterdam modern has a warehouse and a website - http://amsterdammodern.com 14123 BESSEMER STREET VAN NUYS, CALIFORNIA 91401!!
It's Amsterdam Modern! last week they also published a post on their blog about this article. I'm so jealous about this guys! They come to my country, Netherlands, they pick up all the best Mid-Century modern stuff they find and they bring them to the US! It's not fair! :D How could I possibly find something nice when I go thrifting, then? ;) Ciao!
