WHAT TIME IS IT?

....it's Brocante time! Yes folks it's the third weekend in February and that means it's the Dublin Brocante retro vintage furniture and homeware market on Sunday. Newmarket Square, just off Cork Street and near Francis Street, from 11-5. Great food, great coffee and greatest selection of mid century modern furniture and industrial design in Dublin.

G PLAN YOUR SUNDAY

Nice set of G plan "fresco" teak tables arrived just in time for Dublin Brocante this Sunday. Always popular because they are really well designed and really useful. Solid teak with nicely styled curved legs and rosewood edging - these are top of the range G Plans with the larger table sporting a nice original period tiled top for hot cups and pots.POA info@kirkmodern.com

HOT STUFF

 There was a great interest in foreign travel in the 1950s, and a fascination with Africa in particular. Exotic images of tribal dances and animal skin patterns popped up on glassware, fabrics and ceramics, such as this dish for Wade and the Zambesi pattern coffee pot by Jessie Tait. It is nice therefore to come across an original piece from the period like this Original Oil on Board painting from Mali. Fantastic graphic imagery - almost silhouette figures with a splash of vibrant yellow. Complete in the original frame, 70x50 cms, this is a unique statement piece for any Modernist Interior. POA-info@kirkmodern.com

CABINET PIECE

This little Industrial Design cabinet would be a really useful addition to any modern interior. Completely stripped back to the original metal and polished, the 12 drawer unit can be used on a desktop, shelf or attached to the wall as kitchen storage. A very unusual and unique piece. Size 50cms long x 17 x 17. Poa info@kirkmodern.com .... or pop along to the Dublin Brocante this Sunday and have a look.

GOT IT MAID

We are always getting asked to source nice vintage kitchen 'saver' cabinets, and this great period example has just popped up. It's a "Maid Marion" from 1960 and is a really useful tall skinny version with tons of storage space. Making a show of itself at the Dublin Brocante this Sunday, a cabinet like this never hangs around long - so get in early! For more information, sizes, price, contact.... info@kirkmodern.com

FUNKADELLIC

This set of four streamlined chairs are definitely channeling the Space Age 'look' of the 60s fashion and interiors. The fabulous tulip shape, made popular by the iconic Saarinen design, is a contemporary classic and in these chairs is executed in a cool smokey grey shell with brushed aluminium base and a padded cream faux leather seat. We also have a matching smokey top coffee table which can be sold separately or part of the set. This style of furniture is all over the UK and USA style magazines at the moment and demand is high so ...get them while they're 'hot'.
