The Modern brings to the Australian market a new and original range of Scandinavian designed furniture. We have stores in Brisbane and Sydney and deliver to most locations within Australia.

The Modern stands out because the products are not only beautiful and functional, they are affordable. Our concept is about providing quality new Scandinavian designed furniture and accessories at an affordable price – following the Scandinavian design ethos that beautiful and functional everyday objects should not only be affordable to the wealthy, but to all.

Designed for everyday use with over 120 years of manufacturing experience, some of our noteworthy and popular products include the Bentwood Arm Chair, Reading Chair & Ottoman, Modern Oak Dining Table, Modern Side Chairs and Elm Writers Desk.

Our stores are filled with beautiful Scandinavian designed timber furniture (mainly European Oak & Elm) with pops of colourful interiors including cushions, tea towels and gorgeous Scandinavian homewares. Some of the brands we stock include Marimekko, Scanwood , Muuto, Hoganas, Iittala, Almedahls, Arabia and Ferm Living. We also stock a range of lighting and accessories, including natural cowhide rugs from Brazil, BKF Chairs from Argentina and Pappelina rugs from Sweden.

The owners of The Modern, Michael and Melissa Josephson, have also sourced a range of quirky vintage accessories from all over Scandinavia.
