ABOUT PORTER & PLUNK Reflecting the curatorial vision of John Gilmer, Porter & Plunk is the outgrowth of John’s architecture and interior design practice, John Gilmer Architect, Inc. John’s intense interest in furniture design and antiques led him to create a separate company, Porter & Plunk, in 2004. Porter & Plunk is an internet based shop specializing in 19th and 20th Century American and European antique and vintage furniture, lighting, glass and ceramics. John searches out unique and memorable pieces that reinforce his design aesthetic and reflect his strong eye for clean sculptural pieces. We strive to present the most unique and highest quality decorative arts and furniture available today.. Drawing upon the time-honored traditions of classic architecture, with an emphasis on proportion and rigor, John melds the modern, eclectic and classic to provide a contemporary, 21st century environment. His work is timeless and comfortable, exhibiting a fresh, innovative approach with a classical sensibility. The antiques and vintage pieces that he offers through Porter & Plunk reflects this aesthetic. To see how John has integrated pieces from Porter & Plunk into his work, see his projects at www.johngilmer.com Based in Palm Springs, California, the firm’s work encompasses a wide range of retail and residential projects throughout the US and Canada.
