Contemporary Furniture in Mt Airy, Philadelphia.
I lucked into some very nice modern furniture in Philadelphia today at the 2nd Annual Mount Airy furniture show. Held for only 3 days at the Sedgwick Theater (a surreal space) the show held work by several Philadelphia furniture designers working in a variety of styles. After meeting with the affable Charles Todd at the door who gave me an overview of the show, I made the rounds. Wren and Cooper's work was the highlight for me.

Modern furniture design in Philadelphia has a good future Wren and Cooper's work is any indication.
