A myriad of stores followed suit and JC Hryb's vision changed the world of design as we know it today. Vintage was quickly flipped by top retailers and touted as the “new industrial look” for the home.
It is still a very big trend in the interior design business today as well as a huge influence on retail design.

In 2008, JC worked in collaboration with fellow French designer Christian Audigier[4] to design Audigier's flagship clothing store and furniture for THE SAME GUY' (retail concept name)[5] in Los Angeles, California. [6]
JC marries his affinity for modern design with the restoration/customization of vintage furniture for Twenty Gauge. [7] Twenty Gauge specializes in restoring and revitalizing vintage furniture from the 1930s to the 50s to give them new life, albeit with a slightly modern twist. [8] JC says of salvaging or upgrading vintage furniture: "I love its industrial look and history, but the lines are clean...and made of metal so it has a modern look." [8]
An original coffee table that JC had built from a vintage architecture filing cabinet won the Home Magazine American Furniture Award in the "Preserving the Tradition" category. Since then, Twenty Gauge has also become world renowned for its inventive reconstruction and reassembly of vintage steel furniture for the home and office. They now offer custom design and finishing services to meet the needs of clients with specific design requirements or those wishing to realize their vision.
