Based in Toronto, the focus at GUS* Modern is on turning out great design at an attainable price.  Designer David Podsiadlo takes his inspiration from everyday objects and industrial forms.  With a nod to the mid-century aesthetic, GUS began in 2000 to create furniture, accent pieces and accessories that are elegantly functional.  The product line has since expanded to include coffee tables, ottomans and storage.  Combining innovative materials with minimalist design, GUS* Modern has created an award-winning line of furnishings to outfit your contemporary living space.  The GUS  Pawn is a sculptural stool/end table finished in wood veneer or lacquer.
