We are a very small niche restoration shop and we have a very small crew.

We are the most trusted Eames restoration shop in the world. Despite Covid-related backlogs we remain committed to working hard for you. We are working as quickly as possible and we have endless gratitude for your kindness and patience.


E-mail is the best way to reach us.

The very best way to reach us for all inquiries is by e-mail, we are a very small company and we run a very noisy shop. E-mail is the most practical for us and e-mail also keeps a written record of what we've discussed.

We want to hear from you.

Modern Conscience has more than five decades combined experience in restoration, preservation, and custom fabrication. We lovingly restoring your priceless mid-century pieces as if they were our own. We also happily perform those much needed maintenance chores for your vintage pieces, such as periodic leather cleaning and conditioning, and wood finish oiling and conditioning. We have a number of restored and original pieces in our private collection that you are welcome to view by appointment.

If you might be interested in hiring us for our expert skill and craftsmanship please contact us for an estimate. We will determine the scope of work with a simple e-mail conversation and a few images.

Should you need personal assistance of any other kind, have questions about a product, lead time or desire to contact us for any reason, we would very much like to hear from you.

Please note we triage e-mails based on urgency, and those asking for free info or advice unrelated to a purchase get pushed to the bottom. Sometimes we have unexpected surges in e-mails and we work hard to get through as many as possible.


The studio.

Our workshops and studio are open by appointment only. We accept restorations by appointment. We offer free local pick up for orders over $100.


The phone.

After years of struggling to keep up with thousands of calls and hundreds of voicemails a day it was literally impossible. No matter how many lines we added the phone would ring off the hook. There is no way to filter out the hundreds of people a day who are hoping for free advice and customers asking about orders couldn't get through. If we spent all day giving free advice, we couldn't fill orders or complete restorations. And simply telling people you don't give free advice to get them off the phone only gets you an endless stream of one-star reviews, no matter how nice you say it. We are huge furniture nerds here and we would all love to work for free just to hang out and talk about furniture all day. But alas, that is not the class we were born into, we are workers. In 2012 we shifted to e-mail only. We can't think of another way. There is even an entire Design Addict thread of people trying to brainstorm what to do about this! We are open to suggestions - but making money out of thin air isn't really a suggestion...


We have so much gratitude for you and your faith in our conviction to meaningfully participate in the preservation of these wonderful works of Modernism.


Thanks for loving Modernism as much as we do!
