Radar

"Established in Melbourne in 2008, Radar (formerly Modern History) is a 20th Century design gallery specialising in a broad range of collectible furniture, lighting and decorative objects. We always carry a good selection of stock from Scandinavia, Europe and Australia. Much of this is in exceptional condition and we search in particular for pristine original examples. Designers include Hans Wegner, Arne Vodder, Poul Kjaerholm, Finn Juhl, Borge Mogensen, Severin Hansen, Grant Featherston, Dario Zoureff and many others. We can source on request individual items or whole room settings. We also offer impartial and long‐term advice for anyone building a collection. Open Tuesday 11-4pm to Saturday 10-4pm."

"I recently purchased a number of pieces of Danish furniture from Radar. The sense of design and quality craftsmanship is immediately evident in every piece on display in the Fitzroy showroom. What also sets Radar apart is the expertise of the proprietor. To describe Paul as an enthusiast of mid-century classic furniture would be an understatement. Paul's professional advice was extremely helpful in selecting the furniture best suited to our needs."

"If you're looking for 20th Century Scandinavian furniture and lighting in exceptional, pristine, original condition - then you must visit Radar in Fitzroy. The finest examples of Hans Wegner, Arne Vodder, Borge Mogensen & others you will find in Melbourne, if not Australia. Paul the owner is generous of his time and has helped me build a beautiful collection. Now we are the proud owners of a 1959 Kurt Ostervig Oak and Silky Maple sideboard, a 1959 Borge Mogensen Oak and Brass dining table, a 1964 Sven Madsen tallboy. By all means, visit the others, but don't purchase anything until you have visited Paul at Radar!"

"We have purchased many exceptional pieces of Danish and Australian mid century furniture from Paul in the last 10 years. Time after time Paul will source, restore and present the highest quality furniture for sale. Radar should be your first choice in Melbourne for genuine mid century furniture."

"The owner Paul is an amazing professional who helped us a lot select our sofas and sideboards. He actually has more critical eye on quality of his collections. We went to almost every mid-century vintage furniture Store in Melbourne and until we walked into Radar and met Paul, we made our decision on a three sitter Danish sofa and rare wood sideboard. After half year, we bought a two sitter sofa from him. Our next goal is to get the danish designer dining table. Paul is super passionate about each piece and he tells beautiful stories and history about them. Such connection to his own brand has surly won our trust and fave to his store. We highly recommend it to you."
