Dennis Duffy’s modern furniture store now carries unique, contemporary lighting and case goods from East Coast Modern
D SCALE Modern Furnishings was established in 2007 by award winning interior designer Dennis Duffy under the premise that furniture and accessories should be thoughtfully designed, timeless and offer lasting value. Furnishing a home is an investment and at D SCALE each piece is well crafted, durable and designed with a sense of scale and balance. The D SCALE Collection designed by Dennis Duffy and made locally in New England is complemented by other lines of modern furniture and accessories each with its own story of artistry and importance. Since 2007 D SCALE has refined and established an illustrious and exclusive showcase of custom capable furniture from around the world.
Joining D SCALE’s hallmark lines are the furnishings, lighting and fine art by John May and Jeremy Greer, the two talented craftsmen behind East Coast Modern based out of Newburyport, MA. D SCALE’s South End furniture showroom is now home to EC Modern’s debut lighting collection featuring their Architectural series of table, floor and accent lamps. The overall concept and design of the lamps are uniquely architectural yet maintain a soft modern feel through the use of warm, organic wood finishes. This concept is apparent in their hand carved seating, case pieces, tables and mirrors – all of which are custom capable. EC Modern uses the highest quality materials and hardware most of which they design and manufacture in house. “The construction is impeccable and the finish combinations they use are highly sophisticated. They are extremely detail oriented and conscious of delivering a high quality, functional piece of art. That’s really what each piece is – the lamps, case goods and wood turned accessories are all functional pieces of artwork or sculptural home décor,” notes Rosie Cipriani, D SCALE’s studio director.
As a recognized interior designer and storeowner, Dennis Duffy continually seeks out inspirational pieces to showcase at the store. “D SCALE was founded on the principles of scale, balance and the use of nature inspired materials,” Duffy explains. “East Coast Modern exemplifies these values.” Their furnishings also offer a sense of history as shown in the Jake Series by John May of East Coast Modern. This table series is a throwback to a design originally produced by his father in the 1960’s. John kept the scale small at 32” long by 18” wide and opted for walnut over his father’s signature rosewood finish resulting in a modern rendition of a family classic. John is currently working on a collection of contemporary wood turned bowls. Completely transforming a seemingly traditional accessory into a modern work of art by adding a high gloss white lacquer exterior – the juxtaposition of wood grain and white lacquer on a perfectly sculpted bowl exhibits how a simple design tweak makes the application of one piece so much more versatile.
