Who’s the face behind Modovar Design? Let me introduce myself 👋🏻

🤵🏼‍♂️ I’m your host, Michael. 💌 Modovar is my love letter to vintage design.

💎 Based in Antwerp & inspired by the moviesets of Pedro Almodóvar 🎨. Modovar Design is an online utopia where craftsmanship & timeless design isn’t tossed but restored & reused in one endless loop of objectlove ♻️

👁️ As a kid running through the antique shop my mother worked for, I developed an eye for vintage objects. Through my caleidoscope of beauty, I saw stories intertwining like a vibrant tapestry. ✨

🖼️🌸📽️😎 Years later, as a vintage design gallery manager & filmlover—obsessing over Almodóvar’s art direction—it all clicked. I wanted to curate like Pedro: by color, symbolism, originality & without class distinction.

Now with Modovar Design, I source, restore & sell a limited collection of authentic quality vintage design pieces that spark conversation 💬, stir nostalgia 📺, & whisper as you sink into your couch 🛋️: you are home 🏡😌

🧩 Looking for that missing puzzle piece to tie your space together? Let’s connect! 🤝
