"As modern design enthusiasts ourselves, we saw a real lack of resources available to the Internet shopper for both affordable and high-end well-designed contemporary furniture and accessories," said co-founder Joe Witherspoon. "In the planning stages of the company, we saw the millennium coming, we saw the rebirth of the futurist VW Beetle, the translucent iMac and we saw our culture more than ever immersed in technology and the Internet. Yet, furniture retailers have almost wholly ignored the contemporary theme, or substituted it with pseudo contemporary products. We thought - what better way to complement this growing modern lifestyle than with modern furniture and accessories to match?" Michael May from Jupiter Communications, was recently quoted in a New York Times article saying, "Up until a few months ago, people had virtually no choices. What has limited the growth of furniture sales online is simply a lack of supply, not of demand." Founded in August of this year, PostVictorian.com caters to the consumer, the designer, architect, office manager and reseller. The company is privately funded and based in Foster City, California.
