Todd Merrill, owner of Todd Merrill Antiques, was one of the first to realize the importance, and subsequent popularity, of what is now loosely called mid-century modern. And we don’t like mid-century modern. It reminds us of our parents’ living rooms. But with that prescience of his and what seemed to us like a tremendously driven work ethic, he has deservedly made a name for himself. He is informed and passionate about the furniture and the designers of the that era, particularly designers like Paul Evans and James Mont and we did come away, if not converted, then definitely feeling as though we had learned something.
