Defining pieces that make everyone ask: "Where did you get that beautiful vintage piece?"
What customers say
Real RESTORED vintage Mid-Century Modern furniture owners.
They are absolute experts. They took time to explain the refinishing process, answered every question I had, and treated the memories attached to the piece with real care. I didn't just get furniture back — I got something better than I left with.
My absolute favourite store for MCM furniture in the GTA. The best value for freshly restored pieces — full stop. I've looked everywhere.
I bought a beautiful table without seeing it in person. Asta was precise — exact measurements, honest photos, every detail I needed. When it arrived, it was exactly what she described. Better, actually.
How it works.
We source authentic mid-century pieces, check and fix any structural problems, strip with chemical stripper, sand with different grades, oil with Danish oil 5 times or more, waiting to dry and sanding each time. On average, it takes 10-14 days to finish the piece, but some might take even longer. Every piece undergoes rigorous quality checks before reaching your home. If reupholstery is required, it is done by one of a few professional upholsterers we work with.
Own the room, not just a chair
Stop settling for temporary furniture that lacks soul. Create a living space that feels cohesive, permanent, and entirely yours with iconic designs.
