A note from Pia and Larry: |
We have been designing in Bergen County, NJ for over 18 years. This experience has allowed us the opportunity to meet thousands of wonderful people and to create unique contemporary furniture and accessories for the tri-state area and the entire country. We welcome old friends and new ones to our new spectacular contemporary furniture showroom on Route 4 in Paramus. We thank all of you for appreciating the creativity of our designs, the professionalism of our company, and for our commitment to the community. We hope to see you soon. Our New Window Display! |
Welcome......to something special.
"Interior design is a delicious sensory experience. Your innermost design feelings should be encouraged, your color sense heightened, your creativity stroked and your toes should tingle. When was the last time a furniture store did that for you?" |
Now On Display! |

Probably the single most exciting furniture design in 25 years! Beautiful, incredibly comfortable, leather sectional with deep seating comfort, knife edge cushioning, and luxurious pillows. It doesn't stop there! It transitions into oversized double chaises for extreme comfort or sleeping arrangements for two! An engineering marvel; a spectacular design. The only place, in the United States, to see this extraordinary design is at; The Contemporary Couch...home of international designers. |

Recently Delivered to Very Happy Clients!
|
In December 2012, we made many deliveries to wonderful families just in time for the holidays. The only experience better than celebrating the holidays with loved ones, is celebrating on new furniture and unique designs from 'The Contemporary Couch'. This section gives you a preview of all the new client homes that will be posted on our website in the next few weeks. Our newsletter and notes in this section will advise you when the pages will be ready to be viewed. Knowing the importance of delivering new furniture in time for the holidays, Pia gathered her crew of installers and delivery people, fed the reindeer, gassed up the sleigh and went on every delivery herself to make sure every design detail was attended to. That's right! From Long Island, to Baltimore, to a place called Latroube, Pa., we had to be there every step of the way to insure perfection. Results? These ten families only had to worry what gifts to buy the grandchildren, what to cook for holiday dinners, what surprise they could give their spouse. As far as their new furniture? Not a worry in the world. That's our job. Our business is not just to sell you. Our business is to deliver! Our furniture AND our promises! |

Clifton, NJ....Grandma, Grandpa, kids and grand kids celebrated Christmas with all new furniture. There is nothing as heartwarming as watching the little ones run their toy cars across the new leather sofa...always smiling.
New Brunswick, NJ.....Personality PLUS! Nothing makes holiday time more special than furnishing the home of these two wonderful, warm people. There you have it. Our December to Remember. Ten families, all having the same goals. Some celebrated Christmas, some Hanukkah, some Kwanza. Close knit families...respecting the elders or spoiling the kids. We are very lucky in our lives to share the holiday season with so many wonderful clients and friends. Our reward is knowing they all love their new furniture and maybe their holidays were just a little nicer because of it. How do we top December? We will be posting client home pages of most of the above in the coming weeks. Stay tuned! Then of course there is a nice lady that just flew in from Decauter, Illinois, and needed her beautiful family room redesigned. See you soon. |
A note from Pia and Larry: |
So many nice furniture stores in Paramus. Each with their own story, each claiming to be unique. Some are a day old and some longer. Some are chain stores owned by large corporations and some family owned. How do you choose? The Contemporary Couch Design Studio was created over eight years ago to bring to consumers the ultimate in custom contemporary furniture. Formerly designers at Living Rooms Plus furniture, Pia and Larry have now been designing for the tri-state area for 18 years. We feature only the finest in leather and upholstered seating, custom area rugs and window cornices, and custom bedroom, dining and entertainment centers. All designs are hand drawn and created just for you. Our brand new Paramus showroom is architecturally beautiful and our furniture is uniquely creative. It's not just the furniture we sell. It's the way we treat you and your most important investment....your home. Let Pia handle the coordination of shapes, colors, and sizes and create one of a kind designs that truly expresses your individual tastes. No one will ever walk into your home, and exclaim, "Oh, I have the same one." So take your time and shop around to all the stores in Paramus. Also visit their impersonal websites as compared to our website featuring over 1000 photos of actual client homes and quotes. Then,when you're tired of seeing all the same furniture, disappointed with the quality and design, and frustrated by their impersonal touch...visit The Contemporary Couch' showroom, say hello to Larry and Pia, and let us show you the 'old school' neighborhood nature of what the furniture business used to be coupled with the most creative collection of contemporary furniture and design in the United States today. No one can match our 55 years of combined experience, and no one can match our trend setting designs. Eight straight years...highest ratings of the Better Business Bureau and Dun and Bradstreet. We would be proud and appreciative to have you visit our home.... |

 Client's Own Words |
"Dear Pia & Larry, Thank you for your kind good wishes. We are thrilled to know you and do business with you. Your expertise, talent and eye for detail is to perfection. You have exquisite taste! Therefore, our visits and driving trips from Bethlehem are always enjoyable. ( even if we come close to sleeping over in the store.)" Warmest regards, Aliette & Mar |
"It is frankly amazing to see how Pia listened to our ideas, put together a design and brought it to life in such beautiful and exquisite manner. The island's stools, the kitchen dining set, the cocktail table and the cornices are magnificent and are the right supporting cast to the show stoppers: the couch and the absolutely gorgeous rug! To Pia and Larry, our sincere thank you for an excellent and well done job. We look forward to working together again on our living and dining rooms. Merry Christmas and the best to you in the New Year."

"Pia, We are so thrilled with our beautiful purchases!! Every piece of furniture, window treatments, rug designs along with your color suggestions is amazing and I am so happy I listened to you! We just had our Holiday party and everyone asked "where do you shop?" People can't believe that you came out from NJ to see and design and then came back for delivery! The experience of working with you and Larry is the most professional, friendly and painless customer service and support I have ever experienced! This wasn't the first time we have worked together but you continue to amaze me with your talent. This house is so different from our other home and you always put it all together and make it our home! Thank you for your all you do and especially for the wonderful friendship we have developed! Happy Holidays and Best in the New Year!"

"Dear Pia and Larry, We first approached you when we were trying to figure out how to furnish our home. We were flummoxed. You came to our home, looked at the spaces and colors, and created designs for us to view. We were very pleased with what you presented, as the geometry and colors of our house were not easily amenable to proper furnishing. We are very impressed and glad with the results and excited with future projects. We thank you for all the time and effort you have put forth. We have replaced most of our ikea furniture with your beautiful designs, and we highly recommend your work to anyone looking for elegant, artistic and contemporary furniture." |

Window Sculptures |
|
Hand made; custom made; proudly made; by New Jersey craftsmen. |
|
We specialize in custom made furniture and accessories created specifically for you and your home. We love that no nosy neighbor could ever walk into your home and exclaim..."I have the same one". Our designs are for you and how you've always dreamed your home could look. One of our products that represents these thoughts are our window sculptures. Pia designs each one to fit any size and shape window. After selecting the design together, Pia will select the exact thread colors to be used. They will coordinate perfectly with the colors in your room. If you are just finishing off your room, or buying everything from us, the color gradation is the true artistry. Elegant threads are wrapped around thick cores and gradated. Starting at the top they will represent one solid color, and then other colors are gradually added and blended. The result is a hand made product like no other. The design and the colors used are yours, never to be repeated. We own the patents on these designs, and anything new created by Pia is yours alone. They are hand made by New Jersey craftsmen to give you a product so unique, and so beautiful, they will bring a satisfying conclusion to your room design. Stop in to our beautiful new Paramus showroom and let us describe the entire process to you, and show you our latest designs! |

Unique stone corner buffet, and oversized square dining room highlight this dining room. We don't sell you furniture that your room has to fit....we design and build furniture that fits your room. Sophisticated dining chairs complete the room.
Nothing says romance like a purple metallic bed. Of course you could buy one of those boring wood sets imported from China that all the chain stores are carrying...that make you feel soooooo old. Or you can ask Pia to design something stimulating and exciting. Let us put life into your bedroom. In fact, in every room, with color, shape and design!!!

For those of you who remember the hedonistic days of Studio 54, and the unique times and personalities of that era, here is a quote from the man Time magazine calls....... "The godfather of the U.S. paparazzi culture" and his equally famous wife "Walking into Pia's amazing showroom, I was overwhelmed and felt that Ron and I would never come to terms over which direction to take (I'm traditional, he's contemporary). All I really knew was that I wanted high impact and drama to best showcase Ron's photography. The result has been absolutely magical. As in "pop", the colors are vibrant, and the furnishings are amazing.In our opinion, the most beautiful form in nature is the sphere, and Pia gave us exactly what we were looking for--curves in our sofa and rug designs. Her designs are amazing works of art. Pia rocks! She's half marriage counselor, but 100% Plus great designer!!!!!"

"Walking into 'The Contemporary Couch' in Paramus, your eyes are greeted with a display of colors, fabrics, and designs that are unlike any other showroom we visited. We did not purchase "cookie-cutter" furniture like our neighbors. Pia painted the canvas of our home in fabrics, colors and personality that captured our spirit perfectly. If you are ready to let your senses be teased and caressed, if you are ready to to turn your house into a home that reflects a personal reflection of who you are, introduce yourself to Pia and Larry at 'The Contemporary Couch'."
"Pia, I love the purple cornices!!!!! They look great. I had a cookout yesterday and everyone was floored; they couldn't stop raving about how awesome my window cornices were. I can't wait to order more for my kitchen soon!!! Thanks so much,"
"Dear Pia and Larry, Just last night we were sitting in our living room commenting on how warm and cozy it feels. We truly appreciate your phenomenal ideas and flawless execution. Your attention to detail and fabulous advice has brought our living room and dining room to life. The designs are not only beautiful to look at, but they are functional and comfortable, as well. Our Uncle commented that he felt like a king sitting in the plush chairs at the head of our dining room table! We had a great experience with both of you and continue to recommend you to all of our family and friends."
