AiPD Presents: Dressing Rooms

Click the image for a link to the Portland Monthly feature. In early May, we hosted the campaign photography and sponsored AiPD's annual fashion show. The show was called Dressing Rooms, wherein different Portland neighborhoods were selected for inspiration. Interior design and fashion design students came together to create dress ensemble and living spaces to match. EWF Modern is proud to be a part of Portland's creative community and collaboration.

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.

Stop by our Pearl District showroom to check out these and other sofas!

Color Lift

Pantone recently chose Tangerine Tango to be the 2012 color of the year. This bright reddish-orange hue arrived during a time when people in this country needed a boost of enthusiasm and has been called “encouraging, hopeful and optimistic” by Time News Feed. Designers worldwide are now rushing to add the color to their most recent collections of fashion and home furnishings. Here at EWF Modern, we understand the importance of adding this color as well as other bright colors to your home. By introducing at least one bold shade into each room you can instantly enliven your living space along with your mood.

Here are a few examples of accessories for purchase in our Pearl District showroom that will add warmth and spirit to any room.
