Lekker, a New England destination for modern home furniture and décor and a national online retailer, is launching the collection of upholstered seating, dining sets, beds, accent furniture, lighting and accessories with an exclusive sale offering 20 percent off the entire collection including sofas, sleepers, sectionals, accent chairs, beds, tables, desks, benches, lighting, ottomans, accessories and more through Aug. 31.

“I’ve had my eye on Gus Modern for a while,” said Natalie van Dijk, founder and curator of Lekker Home. “I knew I wanted to bring the entire collection to Lekker because the simple forms and beautiful materials resonate so fully with our design-for-living concept. The move to our larger showroom a year ago has made it possible to present the brand as we fully intended. It was worth the wait.”

Toronto-based Gus Design Group, established in 2000, recently has embarked on a Studio Partner retail strategy to identify retailers who share the core value of offering design enthusiasts an authentic modernist aesthetic.

“Lekker is a highly-desirable retail partner so we were very happy to keep in touch over the years and wait for the right opportunity to bring our entire collection to Boston,” said Gus Design Group Founding Partner Amanda Schuler.
