What is Vintage Furniture?
Vintage furniture generally refers to furniture manufactured between 20 and 100 years ago, primarily from the 1950s to the 1970s.
It is popular for its designs from the Mid-Century period and Nordic furniture, which can be easily incorporated into modern interiors.
In contrast, antique furniture refers to furniture that is over 100 years old, with the main difference being the emphasis on historical value and rarity.

What are the appeals of vintage furniture?
The appeal of vintage furniture lies in its balance of design and practicality.
Its simple and functional forms can be easily incorporated into modern homes, making it suitable for everyday use.
Especially in Nordic vintage furniture, high-quality woods such as teak and oak are used, and their beautiful grain and warm texture give the space a calm atmosphere.
The straight and sophisticated designs found in Mid-Century furniture are also one of the reasons for its popularity.
Types of Vintage Furniture
Vintage furniture includes various types such as vintage chairs, vintage tables, sideboards, and cabinets.
It is popular not only for living rooms and dining rooms but also as store fixtures, and is often incorporated into cafes, apparel shops, beauty salons, and accommodation facilities to create atmosphere.
The main sources of procurement are the US, Europe, and Northern Europe.
Tips for Choosing Vintage Furniture
Vintage furniture, which can be easily coordinated with modern furniture, significantly enhances the atmosphere even if you only incorporate a few pieces into your space.
If you're new to it, it's recommended to start with smaller, more accessible items like chairs or side tables.
Dining tables, sideboards, and sofas, which become the main focus of your room, are also wonderful items filled with the unique charm of vintage, so please consider incorporating them.
While a total coordination is good, mixing in a few vintage pieces allows you to create your own unique space with one-of-a-kind items.
Especially for stores, we can propose creating a unique space that differentiates you from other establishments.
About the condition of vintage furniture
Vintage furniture has been used for many years, so it often shows signs of use and age-related deterioration.
However, this is one of the unique charms of vintage furniture.
The deep wood tones and charming small scratches from aging, as well as the peeling and rust on metal, are expressions that cannot be replicated through processing.
In overseas vintage culture, it is common for items to be passed down and used as is, without excessive repair.
This is underpinned by the commitment to craftsmanship and the high quality of products from that era, which ensures they can be used for many years without issues.
Furthermore, our store only handles vintage furniture that has been personally inspected by our buyers overseas for condition and is free from usability problems.
