About The Modern Maximalist
Where It Started
The Modern Maximalist was born out of necessity. As avid foodies, Melissa and her boyfriend love to checkout as many restaurants as possible. Her boyfriend has collected matchbooks from the different restaurants they’ve visited together over the years, and he had taken to displaying them in a jar that did not match their decor aesthetic. Then a several-year-long game of Melissa hiding the jar and her boyfriend seeking the jar ensued. She finally decided to play around with resin and create a functional, beautiful piece for him to display some of their favorite memories and relive those moments. While creating this first piece, she discovered her love of creating unique art with resin.
What We Stand For
At The Modern Maximalist, we believe design should be stylish AND functional. Our passion is creating one of a kind pieces for your home, tying in cheeky, unexpected elements from natural flowers and fruits to over the counter pills.
About the Creator
