Modernism Sale in San Francisco California

The San Francisco Modernism + Art Deco Sale, an event organized and held twice each year by one of our past real estate clients, will be held in the city of San Francisco this upcoming weekend. If mid-century modern, art nouveau, mission or streamline moderne are your style, I would encourage you to attend this worthwhile Bay Area event.

Bringing together hundreds of like-minded modernist, the Art Deco + Modernism Sale attracts hundreds of vendors and attendees from around the Bay Area.    This two day event features:

  • Dealers exhibiting (and selling) some of their finest pieces including art, furniture, jewelry, books, and collectibles.  
  • a Vintage Fashion Show
  • a Swing Dancing Show
  • a San Francisco Architectural Tour.  This walking tour showcases some of the most distingished Art Deco structures throughout the city of San Francisco.


The San Francisco Art Deco + Modernism sale will be held June 7-8, 2008 at the San Francisco Exhibit Center located at 8th + Brannan Streets.   Tickets for the event cost $10.00 each and may be purchased at the show.   Hope to see you there!

Designs within Reach (DWR) Clearance Sale in San Francisco

Mid-century modern enthusiasts looking for a bargain (or at least a steep discount off of list prices) should not miss the upcoming clearance sale at the Designs Within Reach warehouse located in San Francisco. Whether you are looking for a classic mid-century furniture piece by Herman Miller or Harry Bertoia, some hip and timeless lighting by George Nelson or Poul Henningsen, or some funky and hip furniture for your live / work space, you should make an effort to attend this 3-day event.

Every year, DWR hosts a handful of these clearance sales in the Bay Area, drawing a large and diverse crowd interested in finding that perfect piece for their modernist dwelling. Whether you live in a mid-century modern Eichler home, or a updated loft in San Francisco, there is something here for everyone.

Based on my personal experience at prior DWR Sample Sale Events, you should show up early (and ideally on the first day of the event) so that you have the widest selection of items to choose from. Inventory will include floor samples, scratch and dent items, customer returns and overstock items. While the sales floor is typically restocked with new items daily, your best bet is to shop early. Prices are discounted up to 70% off of original list prices so there are deals to be found however hot items typically sell very quickly. Logistics details for this event are as follows:
