-Our Story

Once upon a time a passion for Mid Century modern furniture and a dedication to craftsmanship converged to create Music City Modern. Founded by Brian Hygge, our journey began with a childhood spent in a factory of fine furniture craftsmanship.

As a young child, I eagerly joined my grandfather at his furniture factory back home in Fort Smith Arkansas during summer breaks. It wasn't just about earning extra spending money; it was a journey into a world of craftsmanship and dedication. From the initial concept sketches to the final sale, I witnessed every step of the process—from production to upholstery, gaining a deep appreciation for the skill and commitment required to craft each piece.

Those summers are etched vividly in my memory. I can still recall the break room stocked with glazed donuts and ice-cold Sunkist vending machines. The factory itself felt like my playground, with aisles filled with solid wood furniture parts, towering piles of foam, and even a rail yard out back (though strictly off-limits to me!). I saw firsthand the hard work and dedication of each craftsman as they transformed raw materials into exquisite furniture, one piece at a time.

Those early experiences ignited a passion in me—a passion to preserve and celebrate the artistry of fine furniture. Today, at Music City Modern, we continue that tradition by sourcing and restoring Mid Century modern furniture with the same dedication and attention to detail that I witnessed as a child.

Whether you're a collector, a designer, or someone who simply appreciates the elegance of Mid Century modern furniture, we invite you to explore our curated collection.

-Our Process:

We pour our hearts into every piece of furniture we refinish. Our dedication goes beyond words—we've earned our stripes (and a few stitches from the table saw!) refining these vintage treasures year-round, regardless of weather. From stripping down to bare wood to applying penetrating and dye-based stains that highlight the natural grain, and finishing with high-quality commercial-grade pre-catalyzed lacquer, our process ensures each piece stands the test of time.

We're obsessed with detail. No chips, no drink rings, no scuffs—just furniture that looks as fresh as the day it left the factory floor. Our passion for restoration shines through in every meticulously restored piece, ready to grace your space with timeless beauty.

Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. By salvaging and refurbishing Mid Century treasures, we're not just restoring furniture—we're preserving history and reducing waste, one piece at a time. Our commitment to sustainability extends to sourcing only the highest quality and most stylish furniture pieces. Whether sourced locally or from Europe, our goal is simple: to bring you the very best.
