A shop that sells an eclectic assortment of home furnishings and accessories will open its doors at 9 a.m. Saturday in downtown Wilmington.

Urbage, which has sold its diverse inventory online for the past few years through a variety of niche sites, is expanding into the world of bricks and mortar at 208 S. Front St., owner Andrew Stevens said.

“I started on Etsy, but recently, I’ve been selling mostly on One Kings Lane,” Stevens said.

With several warehouses full of collected items, the artist and former editorial cartoonist decided the time was right to create a physical sales space. A native of Greensboro who has been living in Raleigh, Stevens chose Wilmington for his store location because of the city’s arts and movie culture. He said that he eventually wants to get a film made.

He has been working on the building in preparation for opening. The shop consists of three rooms with a combined 1,100 square feet of space, but Urbage will open with a select amount of inventory on display in one 500-square-foot room. The business will expand into the remainder of the space as Stevens brings more inventory to town. One of the rooms will feature Stevens’ extensive collection of lamps.

He describes his inventory as mostly mid-century modern but with a lot of what he calls “beach regency fusion.” He is also heavily influenced by Asian style as well.

“I tell people it’s what Frank Sinatra’s apartment would have looked like when he was dating Mia Farrow,” Stevens said.

The name, Urbage, is a combination of “urban” and “vintage.”

Stevens said he finds his items at antique malls, second-hand shops and other vintage shops from New York State to Florida.

“It’s amazing what you’ll find outside your own door," he said. "A lot of it is rough stuff that I can reimagine or bring back to its former glory.”

Stevens is also launching Urbage’s web site, shopurbage.com, in conjunction with the store opening. Over the next couple of weeks he said he will be augmenting his online inventory and setting up social media sites.
