Indiana For Modern: A Celebration of Indiana Arts and Crafts

The Mid-20th Century or “50’s Modern” era of collecting has been, over the last five years, one of if not the strongest areas in the collectibles marketplace. In spite of a sour economy, record prices continue to be set. This area is of particular interest to today’s youth — tomorrow’s consumer. Because Dunbar production was low and targeted to a niche market, pieces are rare and very expensive when they come into the marketplace. Small tables that sold for $100 to $200 in the 1950’s and 60’s are now selling for $2,000 to $5,000.

Our intention is to reinterpret and reproduce these now classic designs. We believe we can better some of the designs by the incorporation of exotic woods, ceramic and glass mosaic tops, and technical advances not available 50 years ago. We feel, because of the rarity of many of these designs, that we will be able to market our designs to the vintage market, as well to the fast developing retro market.

Jewelry For The Home: Our Products
In keeping with our commitment to making small quantities of superbly handcrafted furniture, we have at present introduced two collections: side tables and screens/room dividers.

Small Table Collection
These side tables incorporate exotic woods and are topped with hand-blown and molded art glass and pottery inserts. Brass, aluminum and stainless steel, as with the original Dunbar, are used as accents.

Dividers & Screens
Our screens and room dividers are made of unusual woods and inlaid with suede and fabric collage, mosaic of glass or stone, hand-painted French silk, leaded glass, laminated and woven woods, and three dimensional fabrications. Custom commissions are invited.
