Don't discount the value of a good reproduction. The bedrock of Inside's collection are reproductions of mid-century modern classics, made as their creators would have wanted them. Eames chairs. George Nelson lamps. That sort of thing....

Laguna image

Laguna

Pioneer Square - Seattle, WA United States

Try to imagine a time when every plate didn't have "Made in China" stamped on the back--difficult, we know. Upto the 1970s, America had a thriving ceramics industry with classic, colorful tableware being made by producers from...

Machine Age

Fort Point Channel - Boston, MA United States

Machine Age Modern

Leslieville - Toronto, ON Canada

Reader Suggested: Great collection of unique vintage pieces and new custom works. Eclectic before eclectic was cool. Plus Jake the owner is a super nice guy.

Millennium Decorative Arts image

Millennium Decorative Arts

Cardozo Shaw - Washington, DC United States

You could think of the furniture, accessories and clothing that fill Millennium Decorative Arts as retro. We prefer to think of the store as a collection of items that will never, ever go out of style. (We dread the day when an Eames lounge...

Mode Moderne image

Old City - Philadelphia, PA United States

Modernica image

Modernica

Mid City/Beverly - Los Angeles, CA United States

Some people's heroes are Koufax, Robinson and Mayes. For other people it's Eames, Nelson and Noguchi. Modernica is for the latter group. Finding "original" pieces designed by such icons can be extremely difficult and...

Mondo Trasho

Mostly Modern image

Mostly Modern

Park Slope - Brooklyn, NY United States

Neophobia

Uptown - New Orleans, LA United States

Reader Suggested: This is the only mid-century furniture store in New Orleans and I believe in Louisiana. It combines Danish modern with American retro styles. Just a very cool store in a city that's a little lacking right now.

Pazo Modern

Leslieville - Toronto, ON Canada

Reader Suggested: Great vintage modern store in Toronto, Canada. If you are looking for furniture from the atomic age to the space age, look no further. Great selection of Italian furniture by Gaetano Pesce and Ettore Sottsass. Lots of mid century stuff: Eames, Nelson, Saarinen.

Prague Kolektiv

DUMBO - Brooklyn, NY United States

Scandinavia of course, America sure, but mid-century modern furniture from the Czech Republic? Indeed Prague Kolektiv's collection of table, chairs, storage and lighting comes straight from the Old Country. But what does the stuff look like?...
