Watch our video about the upcoming Kids.Modern show
Midcentury modern design has become more popular in recent years for collectors and enthusiasts. Now families can get in on the act with Kids.Modern, a new design fair featuring toys, furniture and clothes with a modernist feel.
The fair, on February 28 at Dulwich College in London, will feature items from international designers as well as child-friendly activities such as t-shirt printing, tray-making and a puppet show. Visitors can even bring along their own trousers and jackets to have customised.
Well-known names in the design world such as Vitra will be displaying wares alongside young designers and shops such as cut-and-sew brand Clothkits, Nine to Nine furniture design from Spain and Thorsten van Elten, whom organiser Lucy Ryder Richardson names as one of the best children’s design shops around.
Five years ago Ryder Richardson and her partner Petra Curtis created Showhome, a business selling new and vintage design from Ryder Richardson’s Dulwich home, which was recently named one of the hottest home shops in the country by Elle Decoration. At the semi-detached house in a quiet enclave in Dulwich, the pair sell everything from Arne Jacobsen Grand Prix chairs (like the one Christine Keeler posed nude on) to a Cathrine Kullberg contemporary Norwegian Forest Light.
