OK, this is not in San Diego, but it is a business that I can recommend: Retro@Home specializes in Mid-Century Modern Furniture. To the unitiated, that means furniture from the 50′s and 60′s. So basically all the set dressing in the AMC tv how “Mad Men” is Mid-Century Modern. Pretty cool huh? I think so. In fact I bought quite a few pieces from this store and trucked them down to my house in San Diego.
Not only does this furniture look awesome in my pad, but it is strong and durable. It’s not the particle board, veneer covered stuff you get at IKEA or many other stores –it’s solid wood. Often times, it’s teak, a hardwood grown in the tropics. Lots of it is “Danish Modern” which looks clean, simple and stylish. Personally I don’t dig on the super bulkin tables and couches and chairs most people like. I like my pad to be spacious and neat. And that’s what their showroom looks like. They arrange stuff in sections so you can see a bunch of different living room arrangements, etc.
Anyway, next time you are in the San Francisco Bay Area, look them up.
