Atlanta is one of a handful of cities that I consider a hot spot for lovers of modern furniture and design. There just seems to be a concentration of progressive thinking people who just adore that modern look. A favorite stop for this design-forward crowd is the showroom of Switch Modern at 1193 Howell Mill Rd (map) where it is a great place to shop, or just get inspired. Opened in May of 2002, they became the south’s source for original high-quality furniture, modern lighting and designer accessories. Two years later that moved to their present larger showroom space and the haven’t looked back since.
Switch Modern has a very discerning eye when it comes to their products, The hand select their product line so you only get the most beautiful, functional and well made products.
