What’s the difference between contemporary and modern furniture, I am confused?

I saw a bed in a furniture store in a dark brown wenge finish and i am trying to locate it on the internent, but nothing comes up on my list that I need. Would it be modern or contemporary, or what?

It might be a modern design but it is better to confirm it from the store where you saw it. look this site it list some furniture

    perhaps you could go back to the furniture store and ask the experts there. find out the make and model then look for it on the web.

    Well for all practical purposes it is really the same when you are searching for modern or contemporary furniture because most online furniture stores utilize both for consumer purposes. But tin technical terms, modern design started in the 19th century, whereas contemporary furniture are more of today, the present time. You may want to try and search for espresso color instead of wenge, and use platform bed; hope this helps.
