HAPPY CHRISTMAS

SANTA'S LIST

What every retro boy wants...

...a wind up walking Robby robot, a book and a tin of toffees. Woohooo!

MASQUERADE?

Just arrived, this fabulous framed movie poster from 1965 for Masquerade. Great graphics, great colour and fab typography. Masquerade - "Who is doing what to who? - The suspense is killing!".

ON THE CASE

Just in case the snow gets any worse.....my bags are packed!

FIRST PERSSON

Anyone who has followed the blog knows my first love is Swedish ceramics from the 1950s and next to Stig Lindberg and Gustavsberg, my favourite factory is Rorstrand and my favourite designer Inger Persson. I am delighted (ahem) with this new arrival just in time for the Dublin Flea this Sunday, 19th December. A little cracker of a table lamp with a azure deep blue glaze and a biscuit fired base this one comes fully signed by the artist and the factory. DeLIGHTful!

SERVING SUGGESTION

This elegant 1950s Danish Teak serving trolley is a Christmas cracker. Beautifully crafted with stylish turned legs and a woven cane shelf, the top lifts off completely and turns into a useful tray. Available now... but not for long. Details and price from info@kirkmodern.com

BOOMERANG TABLES ARE COMING BACK!

Boomerang coffee tables are just the most useful thing you can have in your retro home. Beautiful organic shape with tactile curves, they wrap perfectly around any chair or sofa and really have that 1950s atomic look. The shape was really hot in the fifties and they were made in everything from exotic woods to formica. We have a fantastic range at the moment, a beautiful pair of dark teak laminated tables with wooden legs, a stunning mahogany table with exotic wood inlays, a cool curvy 50s oak table with lovely warm patina, and a formica laminated wood effect table with sputnik legs. Please email info@kirkmodern for more info and prices before they fly away

COOL YULE STOOL

This cute little 50s footstool in flame red leather is perfect for sitting by the fire and watching the snow fall outside.

WINTER WARMER

Baby it's cold outside! Not to worry we have just the thing to put a warm glow into your retro Christmas. This stunning 60s German ceramic lava table light has just arrived and it's got enough orange glow to warm the Dublin Flea/Block T Christmas fair in Smithfield this Saturday & Sunday. http://dublinflea.blogspot.com/ ...drop in and warm yourself up!
