Modernica Factory Sale 2013 Recap and more

If you missed our big Factory Sale on Saturday, here’s a recap of how it went, in photos:

It all started with a line… a very long one. 

Then, the floodgates opened!

Customers loved the “Make Your Own Chair” station.

And the Fiberglass Shell Chair Factory!

Our Favorite Part: Happy Customers!

We also loved seeing so many furry friends!

There were also quite a few tiny shoppers, although not all of them seemed to enjoy themselves as much as their parents…

There you have it!  A Factory Sale to remember! For those of you who made it out, let us know what you thought of the event in the comment section below. Did you enjoy it? Did you find everything you wanted? What can we improve on next time? Let us know!

Not every photographer has a keen eye for beautiful design and mid-century aesthetics.

Here are a few of our personal favorites from his body of work:

As if there weren’t enough reasons to attend our Factory Sale this Saturday, we’ve searched out some of the best “mobile restaurants” in Los Angeles! Here are some of the delicious options you’ll have for eating as you spend the day shopping:

Deano’s Deli

Deano’s Deli is an east-coast style deli on wheels. Deano’s provides made-to-order hoagies and an array of fresh sides.

According to customer reviews, “Deano’s Deli sandwiches are amazingly delicious.  We get food trucks coming to my work every day, but I tend to skip out on most of them.  But the one food truck I never skip out on is Deano’s Deli.  Their Italian sub reminds me a little bit of the subs I would get at my neighborhood deli back in NJ before I moved here to LA.  I highly recommend you check out their sandwiches.”

India Jones

India Jones is a gourmet Indian street food truck serving up “frankies” and curry in LA & the west side. See what customers are saying about India Jones:

“I LOVE Indian food and there aren’t enough good Indian restaurants in my neck of the woods. I was just a few months fresh off a whirlwind trip to India and I had started feening something serious for quality Indian grub when I finally caught this truck. They delivered in spades.”

“Frankie was DELICIOUS. Flavorful, tender, easy to eat, and the curry had a nice spicy kick. The garlic nan was good but I’ll absolutely seek it out for the frankie whenever I see the truck next!”

Sweet Lucie’s

We’d like to introduce you to the original, vintage ice cream truck of Los Angeles. The 1959 truck has been owned and operated in Los Angeles, CA as a functioning ice cream truck for over 20 years. Sweet Lucie’s serves handmade, super premium, old-fashioned ice cream and sorbets. They make all ice cream and sorbets in small batches with the finest USDA-organic-certified ingredients. Sweet Lucie’s is the first and only USDA-organic-certified ice cream in Southern California.

This year, the layout of the Factory Sale will be a little different. Below is a map that illustrates where you can find particular products and sections of interest. There are THREE areas to shop:

• The main area, which contains Fiberglass Shell Chairs, Case Study Storage Units, Upholstery, and Beds
• The outdoor area which features Case Study Stainless and Ceramics
• The Bubble Lamp building

There will be cashiers to check you out in all three areas. And don’t forget to stop by our fiberglass shell chair factory; it will continue running throughout the sale so customers can watch fresh shell chairs come out of the presses.
