For me Dulwich College conjures up snatches of my childhood (wet hair after swimming lessons, attacks by swarms of daddy-long-legs, awkward first kisses). But for most other interiors obsessives with an unhealthy interest in Danish furniture from the 50s it means something quite different...The Midcentury Modern show!
This great stalwart to London's independent design shows returned to this scene from my childhood today. As always the show brought along a brilliant, diverse set of stalls - from the obligatory mid-century furniture, smaller vintage accessories and fabrics...including
Shopfront lettering...
Fabulously assorted accessories...
Tea and a curl up in a 60s style chair?...
Colourful china...
Historical tabletops...
Handily set up sitting rooms (can I have all of it please? Thank you)...
and a selection of industrial furniture and lighting to put any factory to shame...
To a perfectly chosen selection of modern brands, that work with the mid-century modern look or use innovative upcycling skills...
Clever upcycled cubbiholes...
Handmade cosies...
Not to be missed bargains from People Will Always Need Plates...
And even glasstopped tables with history included...
I really enjoyed the show, I think the mixture of old and new works really well, meaning even happy browsers like myself can buy the smaller and new pieces while admiring the 'wish list' furniture.
Hopefully buyers left with pieces to make their own history...rather than anything daddy-long-legs related at least...
