New life: 10 shops of vintage decor in instagram
The tendency to conscious consumption continues to gain momentum - now we are talking not only about clothes and accessories, but also vintage and antique decor objects. Thanks to Instagram stores for rare finds, you no longer need to hunt flea markets for hours. We have collected ten interesting accounts with dishes, furniture and lamps of past eras from Russia and Europe - for a purchase or just inspiration.

The Thaw is a joint project of 1960s furniture lovers Maria Oleinikova and Lia Vulokh. As described on the store's Facebook page, the girls met "in line for coffee" and, despite the difference in geographical location (co-founders of the project, most of the time live in different countries), they set out to hunt for concise furniture of the past century. On the "Thaws" page you can find mostly chairs and chairs, which the girls themselves restore when they come to Moscow. To buy your favorite thing, you need to write in direct.
