John Bacile has been in love with interesting and unusual antiques and vintage Mid Century things that make you laugh, appreciate them or shake your head in wonder and admiration.  He loves anything different, peculiar or uncommon so long as it draws at your heart and your eye.

   From the moment you enter MODERNE, you instantly become aware that this is not a typical vintage Mid Century store. What greets you is a profoundly uncommon mix of Traditional, Mid Century, and Art Deco designed styles from circa 1930 through 1979 - the great years of the vintage period known as Art Moderne.

     Each item is specifically chosen for it's uniqueness, quality or design, and no item whether in mint condition or in need of reconditioning is overlooked.

      Packed into a huge 20,000 sqft space on Riverfront  Blvd - in the heart of the Arts and Design District - MODERNE offers 1000's of items to browse through and choose from. We are open to the public 7 days a week.

     Additionally, MODERNE offers a wide range of refinishing, painting,  lacquering and reupholstering. Most upholstery jobs can be accomplished in less than 14 days; refinishing in less than 2 weeks and Lacquering in 3-6 weeks. (Be sure to see our before and after pictures to your left)

     One of our greatest strengths is the ability to supplement the Designer and Design trade with special discounts, complete restoration and unique choices from our extensive and rapidly changing inventories. Surely, our warm and friendly ways along with our outstanding commitment to service will change your perspective on how wonderful antiquing Mid Century can be.
