'Talking Art' With Joe and Michelle Stroehle

Carolyn Martin talks with Michelle and Joe Stroehle, co-owners of River Bend Retro, about mid-century modern design. 

Riverbend Retro

Their store, located at 520 W. 2nd Street in Davenport, specializes in period furniture and home décor objects.

Mid-century modern has been described as a global, iconic design movement that has enjoyed a tremendous resurgence in popularity over the last few decades. Learn more about what defines mid-century design, the history behind the style, and why it has continued to hold such appeal.

Photos of their inventory are available on the Riverbend Retro Facebook page.
