HI, WE’RE PRAIRIE MODERN

We're design lovers who've been collecting mid-century and organic modernism pieces for the past decade. We live in a lovingly cared for 1910 American Foursquare in Highland Park, Illinois, where our life proves that timeless design fits any living space.

Collecting these vintage pieces has shown us there's a difference between admiring a piece and living with it. Noticing the way light hits it in your own home. The warming, translucent quality that an original Eames rocker shows in the shell as light passes through it. The tactile sense of a rope edge. The difference between museum finish and loved patina that tells the story of the piece, defines its character, and is a true test of value.

Reading stories with your kids snuggled into a Womb chair or putting your feet up in that embrace of a vintage Eames 670/671 combo. It's like living with a piece of art—it evolves over time and affects your life in ways you didn't imagine.

These pieces become part of how you see. Part of what you know about how good things can be.
