Midcentury Modern Rules at Clerkenwell Design Week

With Clerkenwell Design Week running from the 21st to 23rd May, a visit was in order. First stop was the Farmiloe Building, and MidCentury Modern influences were everywhere! Its like everyone got the memo and put pen to paper with some fantastic results. 





In the Farmiloe building, there were a huge number of chairs and sofa's with gently curved backs, smooth lines in beautiful woods reminiscent of the Danish masters of the 1950's, tapered legs and an abundance of mustards, greys and reds in stacking chairs & stools. Knoll & Howard Keith were influencing a number of exhibitors, not least the yellow chair above which is a take on a giant Bambino chair by HK Furniture!


Pastel hues of the series of tables below were like giant buttons just waiting to be taken home...


 ...and atomic style legs everywhere! Love love love!
