About MidcenturyLA
MidcenturyLA is an independently owned vintage furniture shop located on Cahuenga Boulevard in North Hollywood, specializing in original 1950s through 1980s furniture, objects, and art. Founded by David Pierce, the store has become a go-to destination for collectors and designers seeking authentic European and American vintage design from the postwar era. Their inventory spans Italian, French, Brazilian, and Scandinavian pieces alongside American mid-century classics.
What Makes Them Special
What sets MidcenturyLA apart is their international scope—rather than focusing solely on American or Scandinavian design, they offer an eclectic and sophisticated mix that includes Italian postmodern, French modernist, and Brazilian tropical modernism alongside more traditional mid-century pieces. Owner David Pierce has a keen eye for bold, sculptural forms and unusual pieces that go beyond the expected, making the shop a favorite among set decorators, interior designers, and collectors looking for something distinctive.
