Contemporary Design Group

Contemporary Design Group The Contemporary Design Group is a national association of independent home furnishings showrooms, specializing in modern and contemporary design.

Currently the buying/performance/networking group has 42 showrooms with 27 retail members in 22 states. In 1983, Ed and Howard Haimsohn, father and son owners of Lawrance Furniture in San Diego, CA had an idea. What if they could gather a community of likeminded retailers with whom they could share ideas, best practices, and innovative advertising solutions? They would be able to combine the power

of large national chains with the unique individuality of local retailers. With that, they began recruiting other independent contemporary furniture stores that shared that vision, and Contemporary Design Group was born. Today CDG has become a dynamic networking and buying group- working with top manufacturers and suppliers around the world to develop the finest selection in contemporary home furnishings. We are proud to work with top manufacturers, suppliers, and fabric resources like: American Leather, Lazar, BDI, Surya, Copeland, Ekornes, Elite Manufacturing, IMC, MA Trading, Zuo Modern, Allan Copley, AP Industries, Artisan House, Couture International, Creative Elegance, Euro Style, Furniture Resources, HTL, Huppe, Jesper Office, Luonto, Natuzzi, Nicoletticalia, Nourison, Palliser, Skovby, Star International, Thayer Coggin, Trica, Tvilum, Uniters, ultrasuede, A.L.F, Amisco, CasaBianca, Chadeau d’Ax, Creative Accents, Domitalia/Woodbrook Designs, Eilersen, G Romano, Greenington, IMG Norway, John Strauss Furniture Design, Johnston Casuals, Kannoa, K215 Living, Kube Import, Mobican, Oios Metals, Pastel, Pianca, Planum, Seasonal Living, Sonneman, Valspar/Guardsman, DIA, Foreign Accents, Magniflex, Saloom, and Varier.
