Transforming a piece of Mid-Century Modern furniture is like bringing history back to life, and we take this journey with passion and precision. With over 17 years of artisanal expertise, our Los Angeles studio is a haven where vintage treasures are reborn. Here’s a glimpse into our restoration wizardry:
• The Art of Transformation: We start by stripping away the old, revealing the hidden beauty beneath. It’s a bit like a glamorous makeover, where we give your furniture a fresh canvas.
• Attention to Detail: We’re sticklers for detail. Whether it’s a tiny dent or a noticeable scratch, our artisans work their magic to make them vanish. Each piece undergoes meticulous hand-sanding to ensure perfection.
• Wood’s Second Chance: We believe in second chances, even for wood. Our chemical treatments refine the wood, reviving its natural allure. We don’t just restore; we bring out the wood’s soul.
• Design Integrity: Every piece has a story, and we respect that. We carefully examine each one for design integrity, making sure it stays true to its Mid-Century roots.
• Bringing Out the Grain: Choosing the perfect stain is an art form. We handpick stains that accentuate the wood’s unique grain, adding character and charm.
• Lasting Protection: To seal the deal, we apply a protective matte satin lacquer, ensuring your furniture stands the test of time. It’s not just restored; it’s fortified for the future.
• Comfort Redefined: The beauty of Mid-Century Modern is timeless, but comfort should be too. We use high-density foam and the finest fabrics and leathers to give you a seat that’s as cozy as it is chic.
• Dedicated to Excellence: Our promise is simple: enduring, distinctive, and comfortable furniture that becomes a cherished part of your home’s story. Your furniture’s longevity is our unwavering commitment to you.
When you choose one of our restored pieces, you’re not just acquiring furniture; you’re owning a piece of history, meticulously brought back to life by our passionate artisans. Embrace the past, enjoy the present, and let our furniture be a part of your future.

Glenn of California
Credited for being at the forefront of the West Coast modernist design movement, Glenn of California introduced a relaxed, breezy and elegant style to postwar America. The company was based in Arcadia, California, a city situated near Los Angeles at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains. It specialized in the production of easily accessible and reasonably affordable furnishings that included credenzas, chairs, cabinets, tables and more.
However, it wasn’t until Glenn of California hired the prolific American furniture designer Milo Baughman that the company made a name for itself in the annals of American mid-century modern design. Baughman prioritized function — he worked with simple forms and often used sleek, flat-bar chromed metal and natural materials such as walnut in his pieces.
Glenn of California marketed Baughman’s designs along with those of unsung Swedish architect and designer Greta Magnusson-Grossman in their successful California Modern collection. The first woman to receive an award from the Swedish Society of Industrial Design, Grossman drew on her Scandinavian heritage to create iconic homes as well as furnishings for Glenn and other companies that helped define mid-century-era Southern California. The furniture she and Baughman designed became known for its laid-back Los Angeles style and thoughtful integration of walnut, iron and Formica.
In addition to employing the talents of Baughman and Magnusson-Grossman, Glenn of California collaborated with several other notable and influential designers. These included Stanley Young, Kipp Stewart, John Kapel and Paul Laszlo. Laszlo, an American-Hungarian architect, interior designer and furniture designer, was well-regarded among Hollywood’s elite and designed pieces for Cary Grant, Barbara Stanwyck and Elizabeth Taylor.
While the company is no longer in business, vintage Glenn of California furniture remains highly sought-after by collectors and enthusiasts.
