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 prohibitively expensive. Modernica has taken designs and faithfully and carefully recreated them for all to enjoy. As an added twist you can custom build a...

Whether you like your modern old or new, Modernlink has something worth looking at. The shop began as one dedicated to mid-century modern design. They import containers worth of wooden and upholstered furniture from Scandinavia. This is top tier stuff from Wegner, Jacobsen and friends in good condition and there's enough of it to a make their rather large space seem small....

Modern Times: because someone has to fill all the posh lofts and condos being built in Chicago. The vintage furnishings store is rife with top-notch examples of mid-century modern furnishings from the masters of the era. These are iconic pieces that are in better condition than we are and worthy of the most audacious loft spaces. The store could fill your closets too: they also have a...

Monument is just that to the world of mid-century furniture and accessories design. Th museum like space house an enviable line up of furnishings. Like any museum, some pieces are classics that any informed vintage furniture buyer will instantly recognize while others of a more obscure provenance. The prices are high but we suppose that's what you get for not having to dig through the...

The small storefront is not a great indication of the breadth and depth of furniture Mostly Modern carries. Mid-century modern is king here, with a variety of chairs, tables, casegoods, lamps, glassware, from Heywood-Wakefield, Knoll and other manufacturers.

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.

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? It's similar in shape to other mid-century modern work but with less teak and rosewood and more lacquer and steel.

Reader Suggested: Okay, this one is a bit strange. There's not really a storefront in North Hollywood, just a warehouse. So here's the deal: David is an ex dot-com graphic designer type, if my memory serves, and ditched it all to hang out in Sweden and Denmark sometime around 2004. Again, these details may be sketchy, but while there, he was smart enough to snatch up mid-century furnishings by the...

In a perfect world, all homes would come standard with an Eames chair and Nelson clock. In this regard, Standard Home is one small step towards perfection. The bright store is all mid-century modern all the time, from rare Herman Miller pieces, Eva Zeisel and Russell Wright ceramics to more affordable Danish wooden furniture.

White Trash's collection is more on the fun, quirky side than the serious and industrial and includes a surprising variety of wood, metal, upholstered and even Formica pieces. Plus the staff is...
