Secto Design at Quasi Modo


May 27th, 2013

Quasi Modo welcomes Finland’s Secto Design lighting to our family of modern soon to be classics. The beauty of classic Finnish design has Helsinki-based Secto Design bringing Finnish traditions to light in their handcrafted products. Designed by architect Seppo Kohohe, Secto’s lighting fixtures show his affinity for architectonic clarity. True to his credo that “light should softly invite people to come closer,” the illumination radiating through the clean lines of the birch slats composing each fixture delightfully beckons.

Morgan’s In The House!


April 3rd, 2013

After much excitement and anticipation, Bensen’s Morgan sofa has arrived at Quasi Modo! Bensen’s newest sofa creation is an extra deep sofa, with deep corners meant for snuggling in for a good long time. The Morgan sofa was designed with a single purpose in mind: uncompromised comfort.

The design subtly combines elements of formal high back sofas with a casual modern attitude to create a sofa that is superbly comfortable and suitable for a broad range of interiors.

Morgan is characterized by its distinct high back, cut-away arm profile, and sumptuous down cushions. The high back profile provides full head and shoulder support, and extends part way around the sides to form comfortable corner nooks. Chunky wood legs raise the sofa to a more comfortable seat height and balance the proportions. Morgan is available in many fabric textures and colours.

The Herman Miller Collection


January 5th, 2013

Drawing on George Nelson’s timeless vision of the “continuing creation of a permanent collection designed to meet fully the requirements for modern living,” Quasi Modo welcomes the new Herman Miller Collection. This comprehensive portfolio offers a breadth and depth of products to furnish complete environments in a variety of settings, both elegant and casual, across a range of prices.

The Herman Miller Collection

Each Piece is considered in relation to the whole – the rooms where it will be used, and the people who will use it. Living and Lounge offerings welcome rest as well as work. Meeting and Dining pieces navigate the moments when we gather around a table to share food or ideas. Working and Storage solutions address the technology and flexibility needed to achieve work goals now. Outdoor furnishings prepped to withstand the elements and crafted using the same design philosophy allow work and play to effortlessly move beyond the indoors.

The Herman Miller Collection

Within the Collection, you’ll find updated archival pieces, furnishings from partners who share Herman Miller’s values, and new designs from today’s top talent – a bridge between Herman Miller’s past, present, and future. Seen together, in every type of environment, you realize the speak the same language, and are built from the same set of timeless design principals that have always guided Herman Miller. Problems are solved together. Beauty, then, naturally follows.
