Mid Century Store

Home & Décor

About

LGBTQ-owned and operating on the same 3700 block of Park Boulevard since 1981, Mid Century Store specializes in vintage 1950s-1970s mid-century modern furniture and Danish contemporary decor. The Hillcrest showroom's standing inventory of Eames shell chairs, Herman Miller case goods, J.I. Moller rosewood serving carts, and rewired atomic-era lighting supplies set decorators staging period photo shoots who pull wardrobe from Flashbacks on Fifth Avenue. On-site lamp and lighting repair brings swag lamps, starburst chandeliers, and cord-damaged floor lamps back to working condition — bench work that most vintage-furniture stores outsource to a third party. Dedicated estate sourcing from private San Diego homes brings tight-pedigree Scandinavian and American mid-century pieces onto the floor, a narrower specialization than the general vintage-furniture mix stocked at Darrell's Modern Trends Thrift & Furniture. Made-to-order solid walnut-frame replicas of original Eames and Knoll designs are built for clients who need authentic proportions when museum-grade originals are unavailable, with fabric and cushion choices selected directly in the showroom. The most complex work handled on the floor is full-room atomic-ranch restoration sourcing — pulling coordinated lounge, dining, credenza, and lighting sets from warehouse stock to furnish 1950s tract-home renovations across San Diego County.
