Whether you’re a devoted collector or just looking for inklings of where interior trending is going, vintage style is a fertile sourcebook for every designer of note. Nothing is new under the sun, and you can unpick most furnishings and accessorising in any high street outlet to see its ancestral inspiration. 

Geoff Kirk, proprietor of Kirk Modern in Dublin, is one of Ireland’s most trusted dealers in mid-century modern and late 20th-century design. These are firmly popular looks that have crept right up into the 1990s as we continue to appraise products from creative geniuses across the globe.
