modernfurnitureokc.com is the brainchild of Brian M. Brody who in 1994 quit his job in the insurance industry and followed his lifelong dream to create and build a business with his hands.

A high school vo-tech trained upholsterer since 1979 I took my business training (Bachelors in Business Administration 1989), my training as an upholsterer and the love for mid-century modern furnishings to create the brick and mortar business, leitmotif..."real retro in the metro" which operated from 1995 through 2003.

In 2003 I was made an offer that could not be refused for the leitmotif building and decided to take some time off to restore a 1962 Cliff May style modern Ranch in Oklahoma City.

In 2005 I created and launched a web-based mid-century modern business much in the way I had previously done with leitmotif, by offering completely restored mid century modern gems, and vintage mint condition furnishings.

This year in 2007 I have expanded and will be improving the inventory you will see on my website as I have moved to a 3000 square foot warehouse and workspace which will allow me to both increase the quality restoration categories but also the way in which the items are displayed.

2008 will see many changes to the modernfurnitureokc.com operation. I have opened a retail mall space in THE ANTIQUE AVENUE MARKET located at 5219 North Western Avenue, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This will become my retail showroom for those customers who wish to see a small sample of the inventory I have available. I am also taking on more custom upholstery work this year. Let me bring new life to your furniture. We can reupholster any type of furniture.


Thank you for visiting my website and I hope that you find your way to purchase items from me in the near modern future.

Best Regards,

Brian M. Brody, owner
