Info

With over twenty years of experience in packing and shipping modern antiques, we have developed a strong expertise in handling fragile and historically significant objects. Our pieces have been shipped to designers, institutions and private clients across the globe, and there are few countries we have not delivered to.

We collaborate with carefully selected global shipping partners to obtain competitive and reliable transport solutions. Depending on the destination and the nature of the object, we are able to offer a wide range of shipping options, always tailored to the specific needs of the client and the piece itself.

All items are packed under our direct supervision and with the utmost care. For each object we assess what is required to ensure safe and efficient transport, balancing protection with practicality. Insurance can be arranged when desired or required. Whenever possible, we prefer to deliver works personally. When this is not feasible, we work exclusively with trusted and experienced transporters who understand the value and vulnerability of the objects they handle.

Should you wish to receive a non-binding quotation for transport, we would be pleased to assist. Please feel free to contact us with any questions regarding packing, shipping or associated costs. We are happy to advise and guide you through the process.

At Mass Modern Design we believe in presenting the complete story. We do not simply buy and sell 20th century furniture. We work closely with a network of dedicated partners to ensure that every piece is supported by context, scholarship and care. Our aim is to offer not only exceptional objects, but the full narrative that gives them meaning.

Alongside our trading activities, we provide rental options for photo shoots, films, exhibitions and editorial projects. It is also possible to organize photo shoots within our showroom, where the architectural setting and curated atmosphere create a natural backdrop for historically significant design.

Knowledge sharing is central to our practice. Our experience is deeply rooted and regularly consulted by foundations and museums. We believe that an informed market is a stronger market. Many newcomers to 20th century design lack access to reliable historical insight, and education plays a vital role in preserving integrity and appreciation within the field. For this reason we collaborate with institutions and independent initiators to curate collections, develop exhibitions and facilitate loans.

With an extensive inventory of historically important design from around the world, supported by literature and research, we are able to provide comprehensive background and provenance for the pieces we present. Whether working with collectors, museums or private clients, we approach each object with the conviction that it deserves a thoughtful and lasting home.

Please feel free to contact us regarding rentals or loans. We are always open to dialogue with museums and institutions about what deserves to be shared with a wider public.
