BEAM Bring Design Home. Since 2013, we’ve made it our mission to connect our design-savvy customers to a curated selection of the newest and most brilliant furniture, lighting, and home goods. Some might call it enabling; we call it encouraging. Simply put, we revel in your well-designed life. We live on the challenge of seeking out under-the-radar brands and being the first to share them with you. Our products have style, emotion, and wit (just like you). We scour the globe to find you the best of the best in furniture, lighting, art, home goods, and gifts. Quality, craftsmanship, and good design always come first, but like you we appreciate the special, unique, quirky, cool, and fun - the things that end up making your house your home, and help you express your own individuality, personality, and creativity. We showcase the work of established, iconic brands as well as emerging, up-and-coming artists and designers to keep it fresh and you in the know. Our style is a little bit mid-century, a little bit rock-and-roll; a southern California meets Brooklyn mashup; equal parts left brain and right brain; and a mix of vintage and brand-spanking new. So stop in and come back often, we have everything you need and quite a few things you’d never expect.
