Moderne Living

DG Laura McGreal (2)

Established in August 2005, Moderne Living was created to bring refined European contemporary design to Chicago homeowners seeking modern sophistication with everyday comfort. From its inception, the company has prioritized curated furnishings and architectural elements defined by clean lines, premium materials, and enduring craftsmanship.

Today, Moderne Living delivers comprehensive, high-end design solutions that extend well beyond furniture. The showroom features fully realized kitchen displays, contemporary bath environments, architectural lighting installations, and premium interior door systems—allowing clients to experience complete, integrated living concepts rather than isolated pieces. Each collection is selected for quality construction, thoughtful engineering, and cohesive design.

Specializing in authentic, award-winning European collections from Italy, Poland, and Germany, the company partners with respected international manufacturers known for precision craftsmanship, modular flexibility, and material innovation. Customization options allow layouts to be tailored for both urban residences and larger suburban homes, ensuring that form and function work seamlessly together. A commitment to responsibly sourced wood veneers, sustainable materials, and low-emission finishes further supports healthier indoor environments.

Beyond product selection, Moderne Living provides personalized design guidance to ensure scale, proportion, and materiality align harmoniously within a space. The team assists with kitchen planning, bath configurations, lighting strategy, and architectural detailing—recognizing that contemporary interiors require balance. Too minimal can feel stark; too ornate can feel cluttered. Their expertise helps clients achieve environments that are sophisticated, functional, and distinctly personal.

Moderne Living also collaborates closely with architects, interior designers, and remodeling professionals, coordinating specifications and material selections early in the planning process to preserve design integrity and streamline execution and national delivery.

Clients are encouraged to visit the River North showroom to see and feel the difference firsthand—from supple Italian leathers to precision metal detailing—experiencing immersive kitchen, bath, lighting, and door systems that bring elevated European living to life.
