Hipster Home Has Sound!


Geneva Sounds Systems are a team based in Switzerland that is passionate about designing and engineering high quality sound & vision products, for users with a contemporary life-style.

Their design philosophy is based on the view that the most important attribute of an audio system is that it should sound great. Geneva Sound Systems does not compromise on design or technology. They believe that their products should be easy to use and effortless fit into a home. Geneva is also minimalist about features, adding only those functions that are essential to a good experience. These philosophies challenge their engineers to strive for the best. Please do not be misled by the external simplicity of Geneva Sound Systems' products. The inside contains the very latest audio technologies.

Products from Geneva Lab are not mass produced low-cost units. Geneva creations require significant amount of craftsmanship, like teior piano lacquered cabinets. Without a real care and attention to detail by the people who make these products, Geneva would never be able to deliver such high quality and finish.

The Geneva Sound System model XL is a very powerful complete stereo system, crafted in a single cabinet made out of piano lacquered wood. With its built-in stereo tweeters, woofers and 8 inch subwoofers and powered by a 600-watt high fidelity digital amplifier, it will deliver a sound performance normally expected from a very large and expensive stereo system. Its extremely wide frequency range, from a deep bass to crystal clear highs and its ample power, will let you experience your music in new ways. It is a very versatile system that plays all genres of music very well and can support very large room size. Your music will sound better than ever.

Stop into Hipster Home and discover the best sound system you'll ever lay your eyes and ears on!  Online at www.shop.hipsterhome.com

As Seen in the November / December Main Line Magazine


It used to be, when we thought "Phoenixville",  the word "hipster" wasn't what came to mind.  But Dave Friday and Lindsay Herman at the newly expanded Hipster Home are changing that, but fast.  We love their offerings from Gus* Modern like the white leather Delano chair (pictured $895), as well as a full line of Riedel crystal wine glasses and decanters - they even have a free wine tastings each Friday - handmade XY Decor chandeliers, Parametre wall systems, and rustic pieces made of reclaimed teak.  Hipster Home is located at 237 Bridge Street in Phoenixville 610-917-0121; www.shop.hipsterhome.com

Maven Mag in Philadelphia features Hipster Home

Hardcore Decor

Written by ERICA CURTIS   

Since my last article sought to help those frightened by the “great white wall,” I decided to dedicate this month’s decor dish to the fearless -- Those that laugh in the face of a naked wall and bite back with skull sconces or a faux deer head.... why?  Perhaps the better question is why not? 

Giving traditional decorating a shot in the arm, many young women are having fun incorporating pieces that make a bold statement and get noticed.  While this style used to have somewhat of a cult following, it has since gone mainstream; and with many more demanding a little hardcore in their decor, stores are stepping up.  This is good news for those who are tired of searching high and low for something unique, and are sick of seeing the same pink fuzzy religious figurines c/o today’s hippest chain stores.

So where can you find the edge you’re looking for?  As everyone who knows me can attest to, I am a huge fan of vintage & thrift stores and it is a no-brainer that you can find super-cool, one of a kind pieces if you just take the time to look.  However, if you’re more of an instant gratification gal, some contemporary home decor boutiques have upped the ante and can give you the bold look you want as well as peace of mind knowing that your entire Facebook network won’t have the exact same thing.  One of my favorite finds for edgy, chic decor is Hipster Home, located in downtown Phoenixville, PA.   

In the heart of this charming little town lies a pulse-quickening destination for those who want to give their pad a hip makeover, or simply add some unexpected touches to surroundings that are barely noticeable anymore.  From goth-chic glassware to retro-inspired furniture and everything in between, this store has got it’s decor-forward customers at heart and refuses to disappoint.  Mixing fun and originality with class and luxury is what these guys do best... simply put, Hipster Home is perfect for the fashionable, fearless decorator. 

So plan a trip to downtown Phoenixville (new shops, restaurants, antiques) and make a bee-line for Hipster Home.  When you’re there, mention my name... it won’t get you a discount or anything, but it might get me one and I have my eye on a few things!

Best of the Best Main Line Times


Thank you to our customers and the Main Line Times for recognizing Hipster Home as the Best of the Best Main Line Times for Best Housewares Store 2008.  This was a surprise to us and a great source of pride since we feel a connection to many of the businesses on this list since we lived on the Main Line for 7 years.  It's also good to see Phoenixville drawing a connection to the Main Line and the people who live and work in that area.  We promise to continue to inspire our customers and to be a source of unique contemporary and rustic design.
