MidModMen + friends Grand Opening, October 2012

Hey y’all! We haven’t done much with the blog in the last month or so because we’ve been working on something big. Our friends at MidModMen are renting a retail space at 2401 University Avenue West in St. Paul, MN, and we’ll be consigning our inventory with them. We’ve been busy making trips to the store to clean the space, deliver furniture and smalls, arrange the space, and meet our neighboring retro retailers.

The store, which will be called MidModMen+friends, will carry mid-century and modern furniture, decor, housewares and barware. (Oh, the beautiful, sparkly barware!) The store will be run on an occasional sale basis with the Grand Opening running October 12-14 (Hours shown in the image above). It will also be open from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. the remaining Saturdays in October starting October 20.

Some of our inventory is posted on this blog and on our Facebook page. You can see MidModMen’s inventory at their Facebook page. To see pics of the store, check out their store album.

Please join us October 12!

Jens Risom Side Chair with Caned Back

Posted on August 9, 2012 by Erik W in atomic era, danish modern, mid century, mid-century furniture, minnesota, retro, vintage

This side chair designed by Jens Risom is in very good vintage condition with new foam and upholstery. It would be an excellent “playmate” for the “Playboy” chair we also have available. 🙂

There is one small break in the caning on the back (see detail image).

**SOLD**

Jens Risom C140 “Playboy” Chair

Posted on August 9, 2012 by Erik W in atomic era, danish modern, mid century, mid-century furniture, minnesota, retro, vintage

The July, 1961, issue of Playboy Magazine featured six of the days’ finest modern designers, among them Jens Risom and this is the chair Mr. Risom chose to pose with…. well….not this particular chair, but…..you know. This example of the Risom C140 is in very good vintage condition and has had the seat reupholstered with new foam and a fabric similar in color to that of the chair with which Jens posed.

**SOLD**
