About the shop
Welcome to our shop! Our journey with vintage and antique design began decades ago, rooted in a lifelong passion for restoration. What started as a way to put myself through university, honing my skills through specialized furniture restoration courses with Sotheby’s in the 1970s, evolved into a multi-generational family passion.
Alongside my wife and son, we have spent years breathing new life into historic homes. Together, we’ve renovated and styled a diverse portfolio of properties across the United States, Brazil, and Portugal. From classic Victorian and Tudor estates to Hawaiian Cane Cottages, Early American homes, urban penthouses, and bold Mid-Century Modern spaces, our philosophy has always been the same: blending period-appropriate soul with modern livability.
From the Algarve to Los Angeles
Today, my wife and I operate from the sun-drenched Algarve region of Portugal. Living on the Iberian Peninsula gives us access to an incredible abundance of high-quality, authentic European Mid-Century Modern lighting, furniture, and objets d’art.
Meanwhile, our son is a music producer based in Los Angeles, California. Recognizing that a creative space requires inspiring aesthetics, we have joined forces to curate exceptional, statement-making MCM lighting specifically tailored for musicians, producers, and premium recording studios looking to elevate their creative environment.
Our Collection: Functional Art
We don’t just sell vintage items. Our primary focus is on rare, exceptional Mid-Century Modern pieces that blur the line between utility and sculpture. We specialize in three main categories:
- Distinctive Lighting Statement lamps, sconces, and fixtures that define the mood of a room.
- Curated Home Accessories High-design elements that add history and character.
- Unique Gifts One-of-a-kind or unusual finds perfect for design connoisseurs.
Every piece in our collection is selected for its quality, craftsmanship, and status as functional art.
Thank you so much for stopping by our shop. We hope these pieces inspire your space just as much as they inspire us.
