The store has been in business since the 1940s, with an emphasis on Italian imports. They sell both to the trade and to walk-ins.


Prices for contemporary designer pieces are on par with or sometimes below other modern dealers. Unlicensed mid-century replicas are made in Italy and generally priced at 1/3 to 1/2 of authentic reproductions.


The staff is helpful and straightforward. When we asked about manufacturers and designers, they were well-informed and happy to talk with us. They're also very up-front about the sticky issue of replicas vs. authentic pieces.


Prices are listed online, and EFW's inventory is huge. Click here for a list of manufacturers. They also carry a wide range of upholstery options.

I really wish this existed in San francisco.

Nice. I just passed this the other day and had never heard of it. Looks cool. Great post. There are a lot of gems out there that nobody knows about.

When design takes priority, the result is often strange closets.
