Default Modern Furniture on Passyunk Ave?

I'm having the hardest time remembering the name of a contemporary furniture store on Passyunk Ave. Any one have any idea of the name of the place and exact location? It carries a lot of modern Italian furniture.

If you are talking about the one that has the life-sized mosaic panthers, then you are talking about Interior Concepts. Lots of interesting furniture in there - love to walk by and see what's new.

Yeah, I really love that place too. I never see any shoppers in there, though, and always wonder how they stay in business.

The life-sized mosaic panthers are pretty expensive. Don't imagine you'd have to sell many of these to pay the rent. And I think the store is an appointment-only establishment, though i could be wrong.

I just saw their advertisement in Philadelphia Magazine. I'll have to pay a visit there. There was a dining room set at Somnia I wanted, but they are discontinuing the model. Hope they may carry something similar at Interior Concepts.

Interior Concepts, on Passyunk & Morris? The store has regular daily hours, I think they even stay open late on a certain weeknight.
They certainly have some unique items.
