Midcentury Modern show back in Dulwich this weekend

Midmodshow06

Fans of the mid-century look who are about in London this weekend will be delighted to hear that the ever popular Midcentury Modern show is back in Dulwich this Sunday 21 March. 

Always worth a browse, the show will contain the usual mix of sellers of the real thing, ranging across furniture, textiles, art, ceramics and glass, combined with contemporary designers such as People Will Always Need Plates and Tracy Kendall whose work is sympathetic to the period. 

As an added bonus, the show is held in the 60s designed concrete and glass refectory of Dulwich College, pictured. Prices range from £10 up to £5000 but bitter experience tells me that the more affordable pieces are snapped up early. The show is open from 10am until 4pm, with entrance costing £6.

Trellickstocking

The Trellick Tower on this Christmas stocking will look very familiar to regular readers of this site. Well, if you're a fan of the design, Clothkits (we featured another of their collaborations with People Will Always Need Plates on the VW dungarees earlier this week) are running Make your own Trellick Tower stocking workshops at the East London Design Show over this weekend. The workshops cost just £10 and have all the materials, equipment and helping hands necessary to craft your own Christmassy Brutalist architecture-inspired stocking. 

The East London Design Show runs from the 4 to 6 December at Shoreditch Town Hall. Included in the 100 plus exhibitors are designers like Michelle Mason, Mini Moderns and Snowden Flood, all of whose work has been previously featured on this site. So, even if you don't fancy getting crafty, the fair still seems well worth a visit.
