Archive (store)
Visiting the Archive Store is an experience that appeals even to those who may not typically appreciate vintage furniture. The store predominantly features modern designer furniture, with a limited selection of antique items, mainly lamps and accessories. While the prices may be on the higher side, the pieces are curated with care, offering unique and rare finds that are personally selected by the owners, Anastasia Palionova and Mikhail Kiselev.
Key Highlights of the Archive Store
- Modern Focus: The store’s primary collection consists of contemporary and designer furniture, making it a suitable destination for modern aesthetics.
- Limited Vintage Selection: Although there are vintage items available, they are few and primarily include decorative accessories rather than large furniture pieces.
- Curated Uniqueness: The items in the store are not common design icons but rather distinctive pieces that reflect personal selection and taste.
- Investment Worthy: Despite the higher price point, customers can expect quality and uniqueness that justify the cost.
The Archive Store is positioned as a place where one can discover not just furniture, but also a sense of style that transcends typical vintage or modern decor boundaries.

Visiting the Archive Store is even for those who do not perceive vintage furniture and do not tolerate it in the house: yet the basis of the store is modern designer furniture. The collection of antique furniture here is small — mostly lamps and accessories. The prices are rather big, but the things are worth it: there are no design icons in the store, which have become familiar with the interior shots, but there is a chance to find unusual and rare items personally selected by the store owners Anastasia Palionova and Mikhail Kiselev.
Anastasia Palionova
Anastasia Palionova [3], co-owner of Archive: “In Moscow, you are confronted with the absence of an alternative: on the one hand Ikea, on the other — Grand. Or you need to be able to do something yourself, or to manage to find strange, beautiful things in a furniture mass market. Scandinavian — because the furniture is beautiful and very simple — wood and iron, nothing superfluous.”
