Great selection, honest pricing, and top-notch customer service.

If you love mid century, this is your dream come true.

Gold Standard. Best secret in Philly.

Some nice pieces of mod mod mod mod mod to be had. As with most awesome home furnishing stores, this one's a little out of my price range, but don't let that stop you. There's plenty of fine furniture and the like here for you to bring home. While you're at it, please buy a small gift for me. In fact, I'd like the Prototype Chair from 1968 by Gruizenga in the window. It's super mod awesome. You can call it my finder's fee or something. Modliness is next to godliness.

If you want to see the mid century classics in their original form and wonder why new vintage pieces cost so much, then head over to Mode Moderne and check out the prices of these collectable antiques that have only increased in value year after year, after year. In todays up and down economy there is one guaranteed market buster, and that is mid century modern classic furniture that stands the test of time. No land fill "fillers" here! Mode Moderne offers all of these classics with honest pricing (disclosing any wear and tear that may be present and should be disclosed when purchasing any collectable piece. Talk to the owner and he'll be more than glad to talk to you about any pieces that you may have an interest in finding. Don't get burnt by slick reproductions at other stores. These are the originals and its a museum experience that'll get your blood pumping for the mid century classics. The "Golden Age" of furniture.

I purchased a Herman Miller ergonomic-pain-relief chair from Mode Moderne (back injury) and the customer service here is top-notch. The chair quality is also excellent. Someday I hope to be able to come back to shop some more, as they carry some rare and unique furniture and household items. You won't find any particle board furniture or Ikea-quality furniture here. When you buy at M.M., the furniture is an investment, that will last you many years, if not, decades. After ordering my chair, I enjoyed a delicious lunch two doors down at Cafe Olé.

Terrific find in a cool neighborhood in Philly! We bought two lovely leather chairs and a super cool leather sofa... they made our room really pop! Owner very nice and helpful ...delivered our furniture quickly and even helped us move lots of stuff around to make room for our new treasures! Highly recommend.

Mode Moderne is our favorite place to browse and buy furniture in all of Philly. They constantly find and bring in great classic pieces from the mid-modern period. Many pieces in great condition by the usual suspects (Eames, Nelson, Saarinen, etc), as well as lovely gems from lesser known places. We picked up a beautifully retro Pierre Jeanneret scissor chair for a bargain. Michael and Michael (the two owners) know their stuff, inside and out. Always helpful and willing to make a recommendation. They have access to a great re-upholsterer as well! If you're seriously looking, ask what their best price is and you may be pleasantly surprised - a piece you thought was out of your budget suddenly is affordable! They also have the full HERMAN MILLER or KNOLL catalogs in store and if they don't have it at present, they can order it for you, again at a better value than buying straight from the website online.

This is one of my favorite stores in Philadelphia. They have all of the best mid century modern classics, stuff you can't find anywhere else. The owner is usually around, and he is always happy to answer questions or tell you the history of a piece. This stuff is expensive, but it's all collectable and going up in value - so it's an investment, like art. If you are walking around Old City, this is a great place to check out.

The Michaels are an awesome duo and have a great sense of humor too. The sell an eclectic mix of mid century modern, danish and deco furniture and collectables. You have to visit often because nothing lasts long.

The guy on the floor was not the most welcoming guy! We were shopping for some furniture on the same row and visited several other stores who were all quite welcoming (and we bought a couch from a store next door). The guy literally told us that it was not our living room! Hope you enjoy your furniture in your store for a long time.
