Modern Market

I was raised in an mid century modern home. Who knew that I would come to love the clean classic lines that seem to interact well with my funky eclectic style. One day the Pirate says: I'm tired of all this bargain basement, thrift store, upcycled, found on the side of the road crap we have. (maybe he didn't say bargain basement or upcycled, but he was wearing an eye patch....no that's not true....maybe drinking whiskey at 9am? Yep definitely true)I saw a review for this place and popped in one day.......Ohhhhhh.......Ohhhhhhh.......yep I was in furniture store love. It's not cheap, nor is the quality.So the Pirate is tired huh....Well I'm going to get exactly what I want then. Our affair started with several trips to view a davenport, that's what my MamaToo called hers. It needed to double as a sofa and comfortable bed for guests visiting. Davenports tend to have boxy cushions that can be removed revealing a day bed sorta thingy. I went maybe three times over several weeks. It was an investment afterall. Katie was there from the beginning to help, no pressure...take my time...she'd send pricing quotes for different configurations and pictures, did i need a swatch sample?I gave my orange retro couch the old heave ho and passed it on to a herb smoking musician and have never looked back.Next came the side table a few months laterThen they had a warehouse sale and we bought a sideboard ( Ohhhhh I love that piece)then another side table for whiskey for the pirate....a few small gifts for friends over the years fromtheir in-store selection and various pop up shops they host.Katie was my gal.....who put up with my thoughts and hesitation to invest....never any pressureThen I bought a new dresser (I dragged my old one onto the side of the road, helping a man load it into his truck....hey...why I am loading it.....)and then I bought a slim book case that I had been eyeing for months was snagged at their showroom sale.Of course I needed the nightstand match now....so I bought that.and then one day i looked around and I was finished...no more to buy....no more...nope....Over the last 3 years I have loved everyone and my darling Katie.....AND then my gal hooked me up for a VIP sale.....probably the best deals ever and since dear Angelique needed a desk, I picked up a desk top and a single chair......and a market umbrella for future festivals and what not.The Pirate doesn't complain anymore, but he still drinks Whiskey at 9am. He is happy with my choices and considers this mid century modern look his now......I need a bigger house or a new studio...sigh tell them CrazyRe' sent you

I'm not really in the market for furniture at the moment but stopped into this store to see what they might have that was in the gift item/housewares category. They didn't have tons of gift items when I was there. But they did have some pretty amazing modern house decor. As befits a store selling modern furnishings everything was clean and well laid out. The store was easy to move around in and everything was clearly marked.The staff seemed to be in a meeting when I arrived (30 minutes before closing) but a salesperson did offer to help me and the one other customer in the store. She checked back in with me while I browsed but was definitely not pushy. I really want/need the copper chair they had on display...but first I'd have to figure out where to put it.

Modern Market is a lovely store tucked behind Design Within Reach on Magazine Street. Their pieces and my aesthetic tastes are almost a perfect match. Sleek & modern without feeling cold. I'm in love with the fabric planter thingy they have hanging on the wall inside the window. Go look at it and stand in awe.The sales associates were great. They walked me through their selection, gave me the run-down on their mission (to bring affordable design to New Orleans), and were attentive when I had questions.The problem is.... inexpensive is truly a relative term. I wouldn't consider the furniture here to be affordable. The accessories are more in my budget, but at this stage in my life, $600 desks & $800 sofas are beyond my grasp. Putting the store next to DWR does wonders to make it seem affordable though.

Amazing selection and style! Love this place and the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.

design more within reach than Design Within Reach, which is out of my reach! :)and conveniently located right behind DWR...also features local artists, architects and furniture makers.best place to buy a unique piece of modern design or a christmas / birthday gift.very friendly owner, they often have parties with drinks and fun. just use a coaster before setting your drink next to the comfy sofas :)highlights: blue dot furniture, vespa child rocker toy, locally designed and produced furniture.

I love this place! If high quality modern furniture that is affordable is your thing, you should check out this wonderful little store. The ladies there are super nice and extremely helpful.Caroline was amazing to work with - she truly went the extra mile to help us get exactly what we were looking for and we are thrilled with our purchases.I will ALWAYS check there first when looking for home furnishings or decor. They carry the most amazing lines. If you haven't been there, I highly encourage it.

This is so much more than a furniture store. They know what they're doing when it comes to helping you with all aspects of decorating your place. In addition to the in store inventory they have lots of catalogs full of contemporary cool stuff. And the prices don't give you sticker shock.Love this place.
