Each comes either decorated or undecorated. Bliss even has customers in Dubai! There are three models: a wall mounted tree, a table top tree, and a full seven and a half foot tree. Modern Christmas Trees are all over the world now. Now, Bliss is carrying on his family tradition with his company and he honors his grandfather by donating a portion of each sale to the Colorado Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. Many trees are also on display in prominent mid-century style homes across the country – at Christmas time of course. The Disneyland Hotel was his first customer when they ordered 16 trees for their Christmas displays. Bliss patented the design and received the final patent days after his grandfather’s death. When Bliss showed the tree off at the Denver Modernism show in 2011, it was a huge hit. Originally created in the 1960’s by Lawrence Stoecker, the Modern Christmas Tree has evolved from cardboard to today’s acrylic and glass model – complete with an engraved signature of Lawrence Stoecker.

Bliss started the business in 2011 when the inventor, his grandfather, was stricken with Alzheimers.

Matt Bliss hopes to dazzle the Sharks with his minimalistic take on a Christmas icon, the Modern Christmas Tree, in episode 910 – the Shark Tank holiday special.
