Modern Cooperative

We throughly enjoyed browisng this store, cute stuff and even vintage tea sets. I ended up getting a brass necklace and a cheese board.

Amazing selection!
Mid-​century modern furniture and home goods with 60s and 70s pieces. Boho jewelry and clothing.
Prices are very fair and the ladies that work here (the owner, especially) are super friendly and helpful.
I want to live in this store. Best shop in Pilsen!

Visited for the first time March 2015 — Lovely customer service. Great collection of jewelry, accent pillows, handbags, cards, candles, vintage barware, mid-​century furniture. Fun place to get inspired, pick up some gifts from local artists, and have fun shopping for that one-​of-​a-​kind piece. Last, prices varied and there were plenty of inexpensive and moderately priced items. Definitely well-​worth a visit!

I could easily spend an hour or more browsing through all the beautiful things at Modern Cooperative. They have a ton of vintage, mid-​century furniture, barware, and home décor as well as an impressive selection of locally made jewelry, greeting cards, candles, and other fun finds. Great spot to find gifts for family and friends or when you just need a little something special for yourself.

There’s so much to say about Modern Cooperative! Upon first arriving, the store is beautifully curated with a varied selection of handmade and mid-​century vintage items. Each vignette is put together so well, that I found find myself just wanting to take everything home.
From Modern Cooperative, I’ve purchased several items of jewelry, prints, coasters, and lots of barware. Their selection of vintage barware is hands down the best in Chicago. From trays to tumblers to small accessories, you can put together a beautiful and elegant bar area.
Modern Cooperative’s furniture is immaculate; they take extremely good care to reupholster and fix any pieces. MC is a great place to find unique pieces of furniture at an great price.
The other thing that is great about Modern Cooperative is the customer service. Tiffany (the owner) and Chelcia (store manager) are incredibly helpful and welcoming people. IF you are looking for something, but they don’t have it. Tiffany will keep an eye out for it when she’s out purchasing from vendors.
It seems like MC gets new things in each week, and I would definitely recommend stopping by there often. It’s a perfect place to find items for your home as well as gifts from friends and family members.

Now here is what I love about our fair city. Around every corner there is a little known treasure. Something that you love, but that you never expect to find where it is.
Such is the case with Modern Cooperative. I went for brunch next door at Dusek’s and saw this unexpected gem and just knew I had to stop in.
Now I love shops like this that cater to those of us who want more than just a cookie cutter, everybody has one, approach to things. This store has a wide range of things to purchase from vintage mid century furniture to jewelry made by local artists to things I remember from my childhood (like ping pong paddles). Everywhere I turned I wanted to pick something up just to see what it was or to see what thought it inspired in me.
And as for the furniture– it is in amazing shape! While I love old things– I think I have spent a lifetime refinishing and reupholstering vintage furniture. . not to mention a small fortune. What I saw here is in beautiful shape and reasonably priced.
On my most recent visit– they had cool bracelets made by a local artist that were crafted out of cherry wood and twisted into a cuff bracelet. Although the price tag was a little helfty ($ 150), the amount of compliments I have gotten on it each time I have worn it made it worth the price paid. So unique…just like me!
And I may have to go back and check out some glasses that I saw there that might be perfect for entertaining on these hot summer nights. Hope they are still there!
But that’s the beauty of a shop like this. What I saw before, may be gone before I get back there but I am sure there will be something equally as wonderful in it’s place. And that’s what makes this a treasure!

Love this place. As you probably know, finding stylish, vintage furniture that is both affordable and in good condition can be almost impossible to find these days. Modern Co-​op has it all. The owners are outstandingly helpful and passionate about providing great customer service. 5 stars.

Great friendly service. Just walked by and this store caught my attention.
Picked up some slate coasters and a vintage globe with reclaimed wood base.
Great store, great people and great products.
Hope to shop here soon and MORE!

Modern Coop is my favorite place to go for my mid-​century modern fix! They have unique finds and great pieces. The owners, Tiffany and Mike, couldn’t be more kind or helpful. We have bought one major piece from them and I have my eye on several others. They will continue to be our go to for stellar additions to our home.
On the flip side we are also having them consign a couple pieces for us. The process for consignment has been super easy. They picked up the pieces and are in the process of restoring them.
Lastly their new space is even better than the old. They just have so much more room to show even more great home items.

Wow, new location is really nice and offers more space for more cool stuff. Everything is cool in this place from the cards to painted recycled window panes to perfect condition vintage furniture. I didn’t think vintage could be so «in perfect condition». And the cute pup to welcome shoppers, loved him. Cool people, cool dog, cool stuff everywhere.

My favorite place to go for unique pieces and mid-​century modern inspiration. Mike and Tiffany (the owners) and personable and knowledgeable, and it never hurts to get snuggles from the canine shop mascot, Joplin!
Currently saving up for my favorite item in the store: the cowhide Eames plywood chair. (Although, maybe I should keep that a secret so no one else snatches it up first?) I also love that Modern Cooperative supports and features local artists.
Very cool
Very Pilsen.
Go to Modern Cooperative!

cool shop with tons of retro and vintage knick knacks and other wares

Just like the items in the store, Modern Cooperative is a rare find. From the large vintage furniture pieces to the small retro items ranging from glasses, dishware and other assorted accessories, this is a go-​to place that should be on every vintage shopper’s must see list. The prices are reasonable, the selection is fabulous, and the owners are warm and inviting. Not to mention, so many of the items make lovely and unique hostess gifts.

awesome spot for furniture, accessories and design ideas. this place is fun on 2^nd fridays (or whatever friday it is that pilsen has the gallery walk & shops hand out free drinks). they have a great mix of goods and a very wide price range. i currently have 2 sweet chairs sitting in my hallway thanks to their irresistible selection (& a glass or 2 of wine…) but as soon as i find them a place and free up some room i will be back for the eames chair & more!

I love Modern Cooperative! What a great addition to the Pilsen neighborhood!
Owners, Tiffany Paige and Mike Biersma, keep the place stocked with awesome modern furniture and home accessories that are reasonably priced, to boot. Feels like you’re walking onto a Mad Men set and every time I’m in, they’ve got something new.
In addition, every month they feature different fantastically talented artists and designers, living up to the «Cooperative» in their name. Love it…
