Re:modern provides products, consulting
services,
and resources to make good design available to the general
public. The
company was founded by design consultant Mona Ying Reeves with a
belief in the ability of design to make lives better, and that relevant,
responsible design must do more to engage with a broader context.
As a retailer, Re:modern selectively brings
you great products, designed and made with integrity. From furniture to home
accessories,
unique gifts and emerging designers, Re:modern is your one-stop source
for friendly modern design. And if you are considering building or remodelling in the greater
San Francisco Bay Area, we provide design
consulting services as well.
As a company, we strive to be good citizens
within our industry, community, and the environment. That's
why when you shop with us, we give back a portion of all
net profits towards causes in support of the arts, community,
and environment. We are a proud member of One Percent For the Planet, a select group of retailers who are committed to giving back at least 1% of net profits towards environmental causes.
Re:modern is committed to core themes of innovation,
flexibility, and sustainability. We work with emerging designers
to bring new products to market and encourage green practices
as an everyday given, not a luxury.
Modernism's origins were rooted in bringing
good design to the masses, yet over the past few decades,
'Modern' has become increasingly elitist, expensive, and alienating
to everyday lives. At the same time,
the opportunities for design to help us navigate contemporary life
has grown tremendously. We need flexible, adaptable products
to fit our complex and changing lifestyles; eco-friendly products
that are aesthetically, as well as environmentally, responsible; classic
yet fun designs that provide an alternative to the throwaway mentality. The
time is right for high-brow design to step off its pedestal
become relevant for everyday modern lives.
The next generation of design begins here. Welcome to Re:modern.
Remodern is a certified bay area green business. We offset our carbon and are proud members of Co-op America and 1% for the Planet.
