About Us…

 

Simple ways to be modern

The mid 20th Century is when Modernist design stopped being the preserve of the avant-garde elites alone, and entered the broader mainstream of affordable interior decor.

This allowed design to enter the everyday home, this is witnessed no-more-so than in the Nordic countries.

Scandinavian design captures the clean, ‘less is more’ mantra of modernist thinking in the 20th Century. Coupled with Hygge, a sense that design can facilitate wellbeing too.

We are a Father / Daughter partnership, who share overlapping skills - I am an academic historian in art and design history; and we both advocate environmental issues, alongside reclaiming Motherhood as a valued occupation in itself, and it is central to my daughter’s environmental thinking too  

Loukia also overseas the unique circular economy of our shop - where you can resell any purchase made from us, on our platform, if you no longer want the item.* 

We believe in choosing what lasts. In a world full of fast furniture and throwaway plastics, we offer a slower, more sustainable alternative. Every piece we restore replaces the need for something new—and brings timeless design back to life.

Replace forever plastics with forever design. That’s our kind of future.

And finally, we write our own descriptions they are not ai generated. We love the pleasure of writing  

:-) Enjoy
