Retro on 8th

Retro on 8th is a brick-and-mortar store located in the Historic Homestead district of Pittsburgh.

Proprietors Jennifer Horovitz and Hayley Kile have been collecting mid-century modern furniture and collectibles together for over twenty years. It began with a true love of the design, the surprises that modernism provides, the function and the beauty.

Both Jennifer and Hayley are products of 70′s music, pop art, media and consumerism. We relish our childhoods and enjoy passing on our memories of Big Wheels, transistor radios, Kiss, Kool-Aid, Wacky Packs and baseball cards that actually came with gum, skateboards, watching Saturday Morning Cartoons and American Bandstand on a shag rug, and creating worlds out of Knoll modular furniture.

It is our love of the design, the research, the way of life of the 50′s thru the 70′s that feeds our obsession with modernism. Of course, the items on this website are only a small representation of our inventory. We have games, toys, albums and 8 tracks, vintage clothing and accessories and much more.
