ABOUT US

ModernContempo Luxury Furniture has been redefining contemporary living since 2004. Family-owned and design-driven, we curate a premier gallery of statement-making furniture where modern luxury meets approachability. Our philosophy blends refinement and accessibility — creating collections that resonate with design-savvy customers who value individuality, craftsmanship, and style.

Our Products

We source globally from both renowned design houses and emerging artisans, curating pieces that balance innovation, artistry, and craftsmanship. Every item undergoes meticulous evaluation, ensuring our collections embody both beauty and integrity.

Our History

ModernContempo was founded in 2004, born from a transformative journey through Europe where our founders, Char and Stan, were captivated by the artistry of contemporary, handcrafted furniture. They envisioned a destination that would bring this level of design and exclusivity to the U.S., particularly to the Washington, D.C. area.

From that vision, ModernContempo emerged — a family-owned brand rooted in craftsmanship, individuality, and a passion for modern living. What began as a pursuit of artisan beauty has grown into a leading voice in luxury contemporary design, influencing residential and commercial spaces alike. Today, the legacy of Char and Stan lives on through every collection, each piece thoughtfully curated to embody sophistication, creativity, and timeless appeal.

Our Collections – The Vivere Line

To better guide our clients, we organize our offerings into three distinct yet complementary collections under the Vivere BRAND:

  • Vivere Signature – Modern essentials: approachable, trend-forward designs that bring contemporary luxury into everyday living.
  • Vivere Premium – Elevated craftsmanship: refined materials, artisan detailing, and timeless forms designed for lasting sophistication.
  • Vivere Atelier – Bespoke exclusivity: limited-edition and custom pieces, handcrafted with artistry for clients who seek the extraordinary.

  • Together, these collections reflect our unique positioning — a curated intersection of aspirational lifestyle, artisan craft, bold contemporary design, and accessible modern luxury.
