OUR HISTORY

Barbara & George Sr always had the “collecting bug” and formalized it when they founded MidMod Décor in late 2013. Their intent was to share their love of Mid-Century Modern and Danish Modern furniture with others. During the first few years, the business operated entirely online with a small warehouse space in Port Richmond, Philadelphia—within a mile from the neighborhood where George Sr. grew up. As the business grew, so did the need for space. In 2016, MidMod relocated to their current location in Willow Grove, PA to share space with another furniture dealer and an upholsterer. From then on, MidMod started opening their doors every Sunday from 11am to 4pm for the public to come and shop in person. In the spring of 2019, George Sr. passed away, but his impact on the business and those he loved endures. MidMod Decor continues to move “full-steam ahead” in its current form and is now operated by Barbara and her son George Jr.
