ST. LOUIS (KSDK) - Furniture from the 1960s, which is known as mid-century modern, is all the rage, thanks to TV shows such as Mad Men starring Jon Hamm.
And that's great news for vintage dealers in St. Louis.
Claude Denis owns The Future Antiques, and he's had a successful business for decades.
He has sold clothing to the costume designer on Mad Men and furniture to the producers of the movie Gone Girl, which was shot in Missouri.
But his newest customers are 20 and 30-somethings.
"They're coming around and realizing that they can buy a piece of midcentury furniture for basically the same price and in many cases less and it's been around for 40-50 years, so it's going to last another 40-50 years," Denis said. "And they're doing their eco-friendly job of trying to recycle."
