We're a national association of local, independent stores.

---

In 1983, Ed and Howard Haimsohn, father and son owners of Lawrance Furniture in San Diego, CA had an idea.  What if they could gather a community of likeminded retailers with whom they could share ideas, best practices, and innovative advertising solutions?  They would be able to combine the power of large national chains with the unique individuality of local retailers.  With that, they began recruiting other independent contemporary furniture stores that shared that vision, and Contemporary Design Group was born.  

Today CDG has become a dynamic networking and buying group- working with top manufacturers and suppliers around the world to develop the finest selection in contemporary home furnishings.
