Meet the Teak Members!

We love what we do and this reflects in our work. Every piece of furniture goes through some level of loving restoration before we offer it for sale at Furniture1950.com.

The Head Honcho

Heyo! I’m Melissa… In my photo I might look a little crazy and maybe a little fun (which I am) but most importantly I’m caring and I care about your customer experience with Furniture1950.com. Most of the time I will be the one answering your calls, e-mails and Instragram messages. My favourite catch phrase is “ask away”.

I also source all of our Mid Century Modern furniture pieces, which comes with many fun challenges. Above all that, I help deliver all of the furniture we sell to our customers homes or offices. This happens to be one of my favourite parts of the job! Personally delivering the furniture allows me to jump off the computer and meet our customers, who happen to be the best customers ever! I know that sounds a like i’m sucking up but we do truly we have the BEST CUSTOMERS! I mean, people that like quality vintage furniture and design and giving an old piece of furniture a new home. These are my kind of people.

Photo Taker & Website Maker

Hey I'm Jason, Furniture 1950’s resident furniture photographer and website developer. I love photographing the stunning architectural lines. To me, each picture tells a unique story. It’s my job to highlight the beautiful features, clean lines and stunning colour each Mid Century furniture piece has to offer. I also love working in the workshop and continuously expanding my woodworking skills. I feel mid century furniture has become a loving passion of mine that only continues to grow.

I’m involved in the restoration of each furniture piece. There is nothing more satisfying than removing old layers of finish, exposing the raw beauty of the wood, making necessary repairs and then breathing new life into it. Refinishing furniture is incredibly inspiring and motivating to me.

If your furniture doors and drawers slide well, you can thank me. I inspect all furniture pieces and make sure they are in excellent working order. I embrace the repair challenges each piece presents and feel a great sense of accomplishment after executing some problem solving skills.

Thank-you for your Business
