Look at that bookcase. That’s not just a couple of boards stretching across a wall holding up books and pictures and that wooden car Oldest made in the 7th grade and the football autographed by the entire 1996 Superbowl-winning Packer team; that’s art.

That’s furniture that improves a house just by being in it.

That’s furniture I want.

And that’s furniture I can get at Lushpad, the marketplace for furniture collectors looking to buy and sell furniture — furniture that’s also art — and for people who love great furniture. Browsing around their site is like looking at the best furniture store you’ve ever been in mashed up with the greatest modern art museum you’ve ever visited, and it’s enough to make me green with envy and whip out the credit card at the same time.

The mid-century modern furniture that’s spread around the website is colorful, unique, and both fun and stylish. But they’ve got more than just furniture; there are articles and essays and a newsletter you can sign up for, all to get you into, or more into, the world of design that’s exemplified by the furniture they’ve got to sell.

You can place ads, or view ads, of people selling that kind of furniture. You can shop by designer, or by artist.

Imagine: shopping for furniture by looking up the artist who created it! My beloved Frankencouch didn’t have a designer or artist making it; and I’m jealous of the furniture that did and the people who own that furniture.

But I can do something to conquer that jealousy — I can join lushpad, and get some art/furniture to join Frankencouch.
