We heard from a Canadian furniture designer who is making a trip to Chicago soon to meet with potential retailers for their normally to-the-trade brand. They are hoping for some leads and sent us a good question: What are some of Chicago's most reputable contemporary-furniture stores I can look into? (Looking for something chic, fresh and modern!)
(Note: Include a pic of your problem and your question gets posted first.

Tell you Canuk-er, that "this" is NOT the best time for anyone looking to add lines to their already close to dead showrooms.
The "traffic" has been horrible in most store/showrooms that I know of/speak to: so to create any "hope" for your Canuk-er pal is misleading right now....
(sorry to sound so glum- but-it's "rough-out-there")
