Shopping for Clients: Limn, Sacramento

New Furniture Options at Limn, Sacramento
Many of you may have heard about a shop called Limn in San Francisco. Opened in 1981, Limn quickly became an iconic source for contemporary furniture, lighting and accessories. Limn was at the forefront of bringing cutting edge European design to the United States.
What you may not know is that owner Dan Friedlander is originally from Sacramento. Dan had an affinity for his roots and opened Limn, Sacramento ....a 20,000 sq. ft. showroom with all of the chic modernity you would expect. Limn has been here for quite a number of years and is well known in the region.
Lately, Limn has been going through some changes. The economy has affected many in the design industry. Limn in San Francisco is moving to a more compact space to better serve clients there. There has been a change in Sacramento as well. A happy change, in my opinion! Limn is partnering with an import company and has some very interesting new furniture in the showroom. Unexpected styles and very unexpected price points!

Fun coffee tables can be grouped together in pairs

In times where people want a great looking mix of styles in their homes and at prices that are more affordable than in the glory days, I think this is a very smart move. It provides an opportunity for a whole new group to become acquainted with great modern design. Here is a peek....
