VERN + VERA is a discerning collection of fine vintage furnishings and accessories primarily from the 60s through the 80s. The inventory focuses on clean-lined modernism as well as sculptural statements, all while maintaining a timeless sophistication. Owners, Eric Silverstrim and Sean Cowan, share a mission to curate a collection of more obscure collectible pieces, and resist trendy iconic designs. With backgrounds in decorative arts and interior design, both highly respect original design and sustainability in the marketplace today. VERN+VERA ’s 1,300 square foot showroom, located in the Edgewater neighborhood of Chicago, opened in 2014 after years as an internet-based business. Designers and clients alike are invited to schedule a visit and browse all items in person.
