For a cheeky mix of modern vintage furniture, seek out this compact store, where serious teak and playful Italian plastic jostle for attention. Typical irresistible pieces include a round rosewood dining room table on a chrome pedestal ($495), paired with 1940s stenographers chairs reupholstered in khaki green ($950 for four). Just as groovy is the leather Knoll loveseat-and-chair set ($6,950) designed by Charles Pfister, and the black lacquer cubist entertainment unit ($725). For a bit of flamboyance, try a red egg-shaped garden seat ($995).
