Nestled in the bottom pocket of New York's Lower East Side, Modern Living Supplies is a gallery-inspired furniture shop mixing vintage classics and modern designs.
Owner and resident furniture designer Mark Naylon is now offering his collection of innovative yet timeless goods online, making it the ultimate destination for original or restored pieces.
Naylon, who designs the in-house line M|n, began Modern Living Supplies after graduating from SUNY-Buffalo with an MFA in Furniture and Interior Design. After setting up shop in a former bodega in Brooklyn, he felt the space was underwhelming and that there simply wasn't enough room for both furniture and patrons. He moved to the current 1500-square-foot Garfield Building location, attracting architects, designers and casual shoppers alike.
From rare finds to classic designs, Modern Living Supplies hosts a full lineup of furniture needs. The website is an extension of their commitment to great service, offering monthly live auctions, weekly articles and live chat support during store hours.
If you can't find what you're looking for in the brick-and-mortar shop or online, Naylon is more than happy to handcraft a customized piece at your request.

From famous designers like Arne Jacobsen and Eames to lesser or even totally unknown, Deconet has it all. Besides tables and chairs, they offer lighting, carpet, storage and ceramics....
Whenever I need to buy furniture—and it's been a few times over the past few months (yes, bookcases are useful things)—I check out Modhaus, an online store and "gallery of modernist furnishings, decorative arts and cultural artifacts of the 1950s, '60s, and '70s." Our apartment is rapidly becoming a shrine to the buying tastes of the Modhaus owners. How much wood can one possibly...
New York designer Deger Cengiz's elegant standard chair features an extra pair of hinged legs that swing into place when the user tilts backward. While he's not the first to come up with the idea (see Homer Simpson's similar version in "The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace"), the finished chair bears the quality of timelessness rarely found in such gimmicky conceits. Apparently inspired by ill-tempered...
While walking in Soho the other day, I came across a fabulous antique-chic jewelry stand helmed by New York based artist Blue Bayer. Blue uses found objects such as gears, clocks, lockets, spoons and evil eyes to create Victorian, steam punk-style jewelry in his Lower East Side studio/gallery/shop called Blue Gear Works. With each unique piece, he prides himself on exquisite craftsmanship using classic...
Free Bird is a handmade line of customized military boots applying recycling to fashion in a new way. Created by young New York-based designer, Stacey Howard, the boots were originally collected from military bases in the South. As Howard says, "It felt most natural to my aesthetic to use vintage native American garments and paint to refabricate the boots. Using a soldier's boot and...
Architect and designer Sergio Rodrigues is the latest gem owing thanks to the huge resurgence of interest in mid-20th century Brazilian furniture in recent years. Last month, ClassiCon, the German manufacturer of classic and contemporary design, launched a collection of nine pieces he designed. Under partnership with LinBrasil as the exclusive distributor for Europe, Asia and Oceania, ClassiCon's Rodrigues collection, which spans over five decades...
