Construction Behind Comfort

When it comes to sofa construction there are several seating options. Most furniture seeking a sleek, clean contemporary look uses Pirelli webbing or sinuous no-sag spring construction. The oldest system, 8 way hand tied coil suspension, is rarely used in modern furnishings. Pirelli is a no steel, lightweight webbing that is attached directly to the frame and woven together providing a firm European style seat that offers plenty of support.

Sinuous no-sag springs are composed of tempered steel that is placed in a zig-zig pattern to help distribute tension.  These springs provide a softer, more flexible seat.

Organic modern is the fundamental philosophy that design takes its cue from Nature. The clean lines, soft sensual shapes and tactile treasures of Nature translate into sophisticated furnishings and accessories with organic properties.

EWF Modern provides a harmonious blend of the organic modern aesthetic and sustainable processes. In store, you'll find exclusive tables, beds and casegoods crafted from reclaimed salvaged wood and Mahogany, supple leather sectionals, and soft furnishings made of leather, wool, buffalo horn and other organic elements curated from local artisans.

Owner Renee Russo introduced her style agenda—a mix of handcrafted Asian antiques and modern western accessories—with the opening of East West Fusion in 2002. The success of that venture gave Renee the confidence to foray to the other side of the design dial and launch EWF Modern in April 2007. Her curatorial efforts showcase pieces that embody her love of the simple, natural and textural.
