The chair is elegant and simple. It would bring a fresh light look to an interior, with a few throw pillows or perfect for lounging in the garden, conservatory or balcony. Rattan furniture doesn’t have to be old fashioned this chair has a great angular design, slim profile frame and ticks the monochrome box too.

Look out this Summer for some great vintage and mid century markets, and after last week’s we have found another.

This times it’s Judy’s Vintage Fair and runs all over the UK arriving in London once a month.

‘Founded in 2010 from a gap in the market and some serious love for old-world furnishings, Judy’s founded ‘The Vintage Furniture Flea’ in our London residency, Bethnal Green. Covering furniture and homewares, textiles and electricals, the event was to be a mid-century celebration, a showcase of decoration from the fifties and beyond, all bound by affordability.’

If your looking for something kitsch and collectable then don’t miss out.

‘With traders coming from all over the UK, expect to see the eclectic:chairs, tables and more by giants like Ercol and G-Plan, barware and kitchenalia, textiles and fabrics, sewing machines, cameras, record players and radios, cocktail glasses and figurines, posters and magazines, lampshades, mirrors and more – from toys to telephones, ceramics to lighting, no box is left unticked!’
