About Atomic Land Vintage
Atomic Land Vintage is a vibrant West Town showroom and workshop specializing in mid-century modern furniture and custom refurbishment services. Located at 452 N Claremont Avenue near the intersection of Grand and Western avenues, the business is owned by John Perez and Raquel Bahena, who converted a spacious warehouse into a destination for vintage furniture lovers. Their background in designing custom interiors for private planes and cars brings a unique craftsmanship perspective to every piece they restore.
What Makes Them Special
What sets Atomic Land Vintage apart is their comprehensive in-house restoration capabilities, including reupholstery, chrome restoration, and fiberglass repair—skills honed through years of custom interior work in aviation and automotive design. The store's main focus is on furniture from the 1950s and '70s, with a curated sprinkle of Victorian, Baroque, and postmodern pieces from the '80s and '90s. Their vision of creating a Space Age-themed mid-century warehouse makes every visit feel like stepping into a retro-futurist dream.

Eero Saarinen – Tulip tables and fiberglass seating
