Pulaski Furniture and Leonard Eisen

Rabbit hole research time! I currently have some nice bedroom pieces and a desk that resemble a George Nelson look but clearly are not. I had a fellow dealer reach out to me who had pieces from the same line and one of his was marked Pulaski Furniture. I have started deep diving into them. Their most known mcm line is ‘Oceanic’ which is a beautifully carved walnut that often gets confused with Witco. As soon as he said Pulaski, my mind went to that line. I discovered the designer at the helm for Pulaski during this era was Leonard Eisen, I found a great interview with him on YouTube- watch below for history on his career, the company and how they positioned themselves to be a go to in the industry.

A piece from the Oceanic line is shown above, it’s an awesome line and great for tiki themed rooms.

The ad above refers to the line as ‘Contour 70s’. I have not located much on the other mid century modern lines as of yet, The search will continue!

Upcoming trip/shop closures.

I have something headed to Chicago area in a week or two, if you are out that way and shopping, let me know as I can get you a quote to get on the trip,

In preparation for a trip to Europe (my first ever!) with my 18 year old, I will have my Etsy shop on vacation mode which is basically a dark mode. You can’t see my inventory or shop it. Chairish will be shoppable but you will get a message that there may be shipping delays. I will probably put my website listings on hidden until I am starting to come back. We are leaving March 24th so I will probably start this earlier in that week. Will be back April 5th. I hate to close down but I will not have cell service and I prob will be able to check in via Wi-Fi periodically, I have no idea what to expect. I also will be on a tightly run tour so want to enjoy it without fielding questions and shipping quotes as it would distract me from being in the moment! This trip was supposed to be 2 years ago with my kid’s school…,for my 50th birthday. After cancellations, we went rogue, booked our own and changed destinations. We had no choice on that but we are thrilled to be going to Italy and Greece. We extended our trip a few days and will be doing a 2 day tour with a Greek tour company after our first one ends. We won’t have much down time. I have been doing my part to get ready by working out 5/6 days a week.

This all said, pease reach out now if you need help. I want to make sure all my shipments go out before I leave. My booth will be open regular mall hours, which by then should be summer hours 10-6 WED-SUN. Showroom appointments can be made up until I leave (23rd of March last day) for pick ups or shopping. I expect to have some issues adjusting back to our time zone so middle of the night shopping can be arranged when I get back! Ha.

I am pretty busy this week and over the weekend. If I show up in the showroom, it will probably be short visits. Have a look at my website listings! I have been adding so many cool things! All available to purchase immediately and pick up by appointment ASAP and at 20% or so discount from my Etsy and Chairish shops. Thanks for shopping local and my first 2 months have been AMAZING!!!! I still have lots of great inventory so come and check it out!

I will be in the showroom today (if you are getting the email with my blast) SUNDAY 19th. 10-4. I have a pick up scheduled around 1pm. Will have someone to help load big items. Come out on and visit me! Take a look at my items in the flesh and maybe you’ll even take something home! I take credit cards and other payments through Square in person or buy ahead and pick up tomorrow. Not all my inventory is here so if you don’t see what you want in my pics…..we may have to schedule that but if you buy it tonight I may still be able to bring it with me in the morning. Not only do I have awesome furniture, I have art, decor, lighting, a few rugs, custom pillow covers, my double knit remnant sale listings are here and almost every small on my website is here. Save 20% by picking up here and buying direct from me! I wanted to make it worth the trip for my regional fans. I try to keep it easy and appointments are perfect for that! As we roll towards spring, I will try to be here more on the weekends but please call ahead in case I am not but am available to meet you!

Call ahead or text 610-223-5758 for an appointment anytime! My space in the mall is shoppable 10-5 (winter hours until sometime next month) WED-SUN. Thanks for shopping local! I am looking forward to seeing many of you and helping you with making your home fabulous with great vintage! XO Malissa.

HEADS UP: I will be closing my online shops when I am away MARCH 24th ish to APRIL 6ish. Chairish will still be available to purchase with notes of delays but my Etsy and website will be on vacation mode as I will not have cell service in Europe and unsure how much I can be on Wi-Fi.
