OUR FOUNDERS

Carlos and Mariela Solano established Stamford Modern in 2011 to elevate rare vintage designs with modern finishes. Carlos previously spent a decade working in the furniture industry – first for a high-end retailer in NYC and then for an antiques dealer. Mariela saw potential in merging the two industries and created the Stamford Modern concept. Today, Mariela uses her master’s degree in accounting to manage all of the financials. Carlos is our resident furniture designer and visionary. He leads the entire process of sourcing, purchasing, and restoring every item in our showroom
