HOT SEAT

This extremely cute and comfortable Ercol easy chair has just arrived in stock. A fabulous chair made from solid elm, beautiful curved arms and lovely 'sprung' look to the atomic legs.

This particular chair has an extra vavavoom!!! it has been lovingly restored and covered in a stunning handwoven 2 tone red and black 'Mourne' tweed. The fabric was supplied to Liberty in the 50s, exhibited at the Milan Biennale in 1951, and chosen by Robin Day to use on his designs for the Festival of Britain, Royal Festival Hall in 1951. This chair has the mid century look and is a unique combination of style and comfort. A real collectors piece. POA info@kirkmodern.com

SPACE STATION

Here at kirkmodern, we like to source pieces that are a little more unique than the run of the mill retro items generally available in Ireland. One such piece that has just arrived is this amazing "limba" metamorphic unit by G Plan. Designed in 1960 by L. Dandy, this range was only made for a short
time as the African Limba wood was expensive and the ultra modern minimalist design was very ahead of its time. This beautiful honey coloured unit is a stylish, sleek modernist chest of drawers that transforms into an amazing dressing table or desk. A rare and beautiful mid-century design classic.
