I cannot recommend Hawaii Modern enough. John is a pleasure to work with, and he's passionate and incredibly knowledgable about all things mid-century modern. I LOVE the sofa set I bought from him ~ which he saved from oblivion and restored to beyond perfection. If you love mid century furniture, he will help you find the pieces of your dreams!

I inherited a 1977 Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman from my father that was broken and in need of serious restoration. Working with John made this process incredibly easy. Before starting any work, he walked me through all of his recommended repairs and all the steps he would take to restore the chair (including accurate estimates on costs). When he started the work he kept me completely up-to-date on all the progress being made. I ended up with a beautifully restored family heirloom that I will hopefully pass on to my family. Thanks so much John!

Great pieces, super professional-grade craftsmanship. John has extensive knowledge of the designers, and history of mid-century modern furniture. All his pieces are worthy of the Liljestrand House or your mid-century collection.

I went in here thinking I wanted a certain style of chair for my home business. While exploring the store and talking to the owner, John, I ended up sitting in a chair (a fiberglass Eames chair) just for fun and then ended up unexpectedly loving it, so I totally switched gears, as to what I thought I originally wanted. Bought two of them months ago and couldn't be happier with how perfect they have worked out! So, I highly recommend going in with an open mind to other options, because, hey, you never know how perfect something else might be for you. ;) John is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about mid century furniture and design. He does beautiful restoration jobs on the furniture he has for sale, so you can't go wrong when buying from him. He also is super laid back and fun to talk to-not a pushy salesman type like in other furniture stores. Exploring all the beautiful pieces in his store just makes my heart happy! Highly recommend!

Although I did not purchase from Honolulu Furniture Company yet, I would like to say that the owner was prompt and informative in answering my questions. I was impressed and highly recommend this place if you are ready for custom furniture.

Just WOW! Thorben is an AMAZING wood furniture re-finisher! I found an old used Koa rocking chair needing much TLC, in a consignment store and decided to have it re-finished as a Valentine's gift for my wonderful husband. Thorben described the process of how he would re-finish the chair and I entrusted it to his care. When I picked it up, I was blown away! So much better than I envisioned!! (wish you could see it in person; the curly koa is beautiful!) My husband was stunned and we know this find will be a lasting heirloom for generations, in our Hawaii home. Mahalo, Thorben!

Thorben is amazing! My wife and I wanted a piece of fine furniture to commemorate the many years we lived in Hawaii, so we trust and Thorben to make us a family heirloom. He was great to work with throughout the design process and the final product exceed our expectations. These days a good craftsman and good customer service are hard to find. If you're looking for both, go see Thorben at Honolulu Furniture Company. You won't be disappointed.

Got nothing but great things to say about Hawaii Modern! John is super cool and his passion for mid century design is apparent in his refined restorations and in just talking stories with him. He is very knowledgeable about the time period. The studio shop is such an inspiring space. It's so nice to visually take in all the amazing pieces he has on display. I purchased a desk and three chairs. They are beautiful!! John and Kristen came to deliver the pieces to my house, and they took the utmost care in transporting and installing my new old furniture! I'm currently renovating my family home, and I've done a lot of furniture shopping, both online and in store. But I can say with all confidence that the pieces I bought from John are my most favorite, the most well built, and the most well designed (for sure). If you are in the Kakaako area, I highly recommend visiting his studio to see what he has in store and talk stories.

Wow!!!! Beautiful mid century and danish pieces. All pieces are authentic and refurbished to perfection. I love my pieces I have from Hawaii Modern. You must visit this store if you like specialty show-stopping pieces for your home or office. I highly recommend this place.
