“20th Century Design and Beyond,” Abodeon (a-BO-dee-on, a hybrid of “abode” and “beyond”), combines retro-chic goods with contemporary upscale housewares. Much of the inventory consists of unused vintage goods from the 50s and 60s, such as turntables ($65-200), cocktail shakers ($45-150), and even an antique desk allegedly straight out of a Harvard dorm room ($50), all of which are in excellent condition. Collectors should check this place for one-of-a-kind finds like a 1933 first edition IBM electric typewriter for a mere $450 or a ericofon from the 50's ($185). Vintage jewelry is available ($28), as well as modern designs from all over the world, ranging from Scandinavian ceramics to crafts made by local artisans. For the camera-happy, Abodeon stocks a variety of fun vessels for displaying your fonder memories, like stylish albums or a clear shower curtain with 143 pockets for photos (both $35), and equally stylish stainless steel trash receptacles ($28) for the memories you'd rather throw away.
