Look Modern

I love this style, ever since I saw The Incredibles. It’s all original, mid-​century and mostly Danish. I don’t know that I could decorate my entire place with it, even though it’s a sixties building. Besides, lots of it was pretty pricey.
Still, the owners were really nice, and if I was back in Portland, and looking for furniture, I’d definitely go back for a look.

This is a quality distributor of refurbished /​refinished mid-​century furniture. The work they put into restoration justifies the pricing. We are local to Portland and have purchased three credenzas and a pair of chairs so far for an office environment. Compared to new furniture of the same quality and style, the pricing is a wash. If you don’t know the difference between Dania and this furniture then yes, just shop at Dania. Or IKEA for that matter. The owners of Look Modern are experienced and knowledgeable, and they have been doing this a long time. I found the customer service to be just fine, but I can’t comment on the web based service.
The pieces are stunning in person. No regrets.

Great experience with Look Modern. I live in Chicago, and found a great-​looking coffee table on their site. They were easy to deal with, very prompt and responsive, and they packed the item extremely well. When it arrived, it was beautiful and in perfect condition. Look Modern even threw in a last minute discount because the item was in original condition instead of restored by LM. A delightful long-​distance transaction!

My husband and I love the Danish Modern look, but its always been just a little beyond our budget. So when we were searching for a set of dining chairs we headed to Look Modern, not really knowing what to expect. First of all, I was blown away by the inventory: tons of options for chairs, tables, bookshelves, sofas, etc, all beautiful and in good condition. Secondly, we were super pleased to actually find a set of dining chairs we could afford! (Though they need reupholstering – part of the reason they were affordable.) The owners were very nice and easy to talk to. We love our purchase and will definitely be heading back here the next time we need some furniture!

3.5 stars for me as these guys certainly have a good & really large collection of mid-​century modern but overpriced

Now I know how a sailor must feel when he’s on shore leave.
Every once in a great while I’ll see a fantastic piece of teak Danish Modern furniture and I’ll try to hook up with it, but usually the prices are too high, or it’s got a lot of blemishes and would need too much work, or it just doesn’t do it for me for some reason… and I’m left waiting until the next one comes by.
Until I walked into Look Modern and was surrounded by 42 different low slung credenzas, 147 teak tables, 39 immaculately cared for desks, and more well designed chairs than I’ve ever dreamed of seeing at one time. My eyes were greedily darting all over the place!
The prices were still a bit high for my budget, but for these products (like many others) you definitely get what you pay for and you don’t just want to take anyone-​or-​thing home with you.

These guys do one thing, and they do it really, really well. That one thing is Danish Modern. They have the whole range, from the fancy high end designer pieces to the no-​name, functional pieces with no designer provenance. Their selection is, quite frankly, a little overwhelming, and their pricing can be fairly aggressive, but if you’re looking for anything Danish Modern, and want great quality, great condition, and don’t mind paying full retail, you would be foolish not to come here first. You would have to go to LA to find a store that even comes close to having the depth of inventory that they have here. This coming from a guy who has been known to sell some high end Danish Modern in his own store — I can’t even begin to compete in this category.

Wow! The Danish Modern pieces Look Modern has is incredible… Hans Wagner, Arne Vodder, Grete Jalk they have all the major designers represented. All the pieces I saw were in perfect condition. The prices are inline with the piece (maybe a tad overpriced, but not by much) which means they’re expensive. Good place to go if you are looking for something really impressive and have the cash to back it up.
