Grand Avenue in West Town is rapidly developing into another furniture / design destination. Salvage house Urban Remains just moved next door to Post 27, Julia Buckingham Edelmann is opening a new shop and of course, there’s MCM Grand, which would be worth a special trip even if it weren’t surrounded by so many great showrooms. The mid-century modern mecca wasn’t open when I stopped in one recent Monday, but owner Brandon McCleskey invited me in to look around, which means I had the entire space to myself! McCleskey specializes in “20th century furniture, lighting, and decorative arts encompassing a a range of styles including but not limited to, Art Deco, Hollywood Regency, and Danish Modern,” and he rents space to like-minded dealers. The result is a cohesive, curated showroom that should be on any mid-century modern enthusiast’s destination list.

Work is just around the corner, I could hop over to these places at the end of the day. How exciting! Chicago has been nothing but spectacular so far!
Stunnning! Thanks for these droolable décors.
MCM – clearly it’s too late at night for me to be reading e-mails. I read this not as Mid Century Modern, but as the Roman numeral for 1900, so I figured, “OK, 20th Century decor is now ‘historic’.” Yes, MCM Grand lives up to its name. I will have to rent an extra-large car when I come across the border for a visit, to bring home everything I’d like to buy there. Nighty-night everyone.
Very chic, well edited, and enticing. I think I would buy about 20 pieces off of you wonderful photos alone. I am really loving the arm flexing light. LOVE THAT!!! Best of luck. It seems like a great shop. Can’t wait to check it out.
Inspirational photos – looks like it’s time for another Grand Avenue shopping trip!
