A big shout out to the lovely team at Mid Century Magazine…The newly redesigned Issue 05 landed on my hallway today and its palette of bright colours, authentic fonts and chunkier size leaped out of it’s packaging.

If you’re a purist, a collector or just want to learn more about mid-century style & design, I would seriously recommend investing in a subscription. Not only is it a great read, but also a cool coffee table collectors magazine – I can just see them stacked nicely together with their bold & (different each issue) colourful covers. [Read more...]

It’s that time of the year again design and vintage lovers – the Midcentury Show at the Nursery Pavilion at Lords Cricket ground in St John’s Wood, London.

For those of you that have visited one of Modern Show’s events, you’ll know they are wonderfully curated and filled to the rafters with supremely tasteful mid 20th century furniture and homewares. Whether sourcing for a project, looking for a rare classic or you’re happy to find a stand out affordable vintage piece that you love – this is the show for you.

Retropolitan will of course be there, alongside some of the best mid-century modern dealers in the UK  – all bringing their finest wares to the show.

It’s advisable to buy tickets in advance directly from the website www.modernshows.com. as you can jump the queue. Tickets are also available on the day.

Hope to see you there, come and say hello!
