About Hawthorne Vintage Modern
Hawthorne Vintage Modern has been a cornerstone of Portland's mid-century furniture scene since 1998, making it one of the city's longest-running vintage modern shops. Now located at 204 SE Alder Street, the store specializes in carefully sourced 1940s–70s furniture, housewares, lighting, and audio equipment with a strong emphasis on Scandinavian and American mid-century design. Their expertise in refurbishing, refinishing, and rewiring ensures every piece is ready to live with.
What Makes Them Special

Their eBay store extends their reach to collectors nationwide.
