ON THE DOT
Ercol chairs have never gone out of style due to their solid construction, great ergonomic design and timeless craftsmanship. Some of the iconic Ercol designs are being made once again, and prices are high due to level of skill required to produce such classic designs. Renewed interest has made vintage Ercol very sought after and made hard to find pieces such as the "dot" chairs very desirable. We have sourced two of these beautiful elm 'BlueDot' Ercol chairs, designed by Lucian Ercolani in the late 1950s, and they are stunning.

OFF MY TROLLEY
Anyone who has an interest in interior design will have noticed the rise and rise of Industrial items being used in room sets. One key piece is often enough to give the look without going overboard, and can be a great conversation piece in a contemporary interior. Industrial factory trollies are 'hot' at the moment in UK and USA, used as a low coffee table they give instant impact and grounding - and are really useable. This beautiful example has just arrived in stock from Europe. A strong wooden planked top with cast iron frame that houses glides on one end and wheels on the other. It has the original forged plaque Breton Freres, Lille Nord-France. A cracking example that you just don't see this side of the pond. To reserve and view this item please contact geoff@kirkmodern.com

WELCOME HOLM
It's always great to find a nice BIg piece of Cathrineholm - it's such a simple, bright, cheery design it lights up any mid century display. Good pieces are hard to come by, and in Ireland they are almost impossible to source, so imagine our surprise when we stumbled on this giant 11" orange Cathrineholm cooking pot in a cracking bright orange - what a find. This piece, along with loads of other recent discoveries will be heading to the Dublin Brocante this Sunday 19th August - don't miss it.
