MASTER PLAN
We have just sourced this original vintage plan chest from the 1950s. These pieces are very 'hot' at the moment with collectors as they combine function and style and give an instant industrial edge with the warmth of aged wood. This chest has 6 A1 sized solid wooden drawers, which makes it easier to accommodate into a room design (rather than the AO versions that are typically found in architects). Lovely oak example with wooden handles and brass label inserts. Ever popular, plan chests
are both functional and extremely attractive vintage items, and it is easy to see why as they instantly 'ground' a modern styled room or a mid century modern interior. A rare item to find on this side of the pond. To reserve or view please contact geoff@kirkmodern.com or call 0872600789

CLEAN & GREEN
We are just back from another sourcing expedition and we have a selection of new chairs and suites about to go live. First into the studio for photography is this beautiful example of Irish Modernism from the 1960s. This Crannac chair is made in solid teak and finished in a rich pistachio tweed fabric, fantastic original chair with really clean minimalist lines - and very comfortable! For more information, to view or reserve this piece just mail geoff@kirkmodern.com
SHORT ORDER
Small is beautiful.... I am always getting asked to source small sideboards, and they are hard to find as the style in 50s and 60s was for larger units - some Danish examples can be 3 metres long! So it was great to discover this pocket size teak sideboard at a neat 122cms long. A really nice unit with two recessed cupboards and three drawers, this one will fit into the tightest mid
century interior and still give loads of space. To view or reserve this piece please contact me on geoff@kirkmodern.com
DINING ROOM
For those who like the slick mid century modern Hans Olsen dining set but not the price tag, here is a great alternative. This set is by McIntosh and is all original 1960s piece which references the best of Danish design. Extending teak table with four matching padded chairs - and just like the Hans Olsen set, the chairs fit neatly into the 'skirt' of the table (rather like wedges of a pie) - neat! Dimensions: 120cms extending to 160cms. A great original Mid-Century Modern set at an affordable price. To get more details or to reserve this item please contact geoff@kirkmodern.com
