Midcentury Modern® Vintage & Modern Interiors Fair. Dulwich Peckham London

Mosey around 60 dealers on the ground floor of a stunning light and bright 60s architect designed glass brick and concrete building with dealers spilling into the cloisters. See 25 of some of Britains best contemporary designers and brands upstairs in this stunning interiors fair that celebrates the design greats. Plenty of time to quiz dealers and designers on their expertise as you 'shop 'til you drop' at the show that brought the term Midcentury Modern to the UK from Palm Springs way before Mad Men appeared on our screens. The cream of the crop when it comes to vintage fairs, ‘Midmod' as its more lovingly known never fails to disappoint and has a huge following with top interior designers, architects and designers and even gets a few stealth drop ins from celebrities like Olivia Colman (The Queen), Jason Staham ( Fast and Furious) and Andrew Garfield (Spiderman).

Run by Modern Shows® Petra Curtis (dealers) and Lucy Ryder Richardson (PR and Partnerships), the duo also mix midcentury, antique and modern in the houses they stage for developers that sell with estate agents like The Modern House, Inigo and Savills. Tanya Pateman heads up the contemporary section with a colourful mix of contemporaries including Poppy Norton, Marque Sussex and Storigraphic.

Lucy, who does a stint here and there as a dealer on BBC One's The Bidding Room and new BBC show The Vintage French Farmhouse says, “The Dulwich show has always been the one to come to. Petra and I look forward to shopping here this November too and catching up with the dealers, designers and diehard visitors who we have come to know over the years. ”

“Modern Shows enthusiasm and commitment is inspiring” barbarachandler.co.uk Interiors Editor Evening Standard

‘This show could cause design lovers a cardiac arrest.’ Grand Designs

"The brilliantly curated Modern Shows is a must-visit event for anyone after original mid-century design." Charlotte Abrahams, freelance design writer FT How to Spend it, Guardian, Observer, Elle.

'Midcentury Modern is a dangerous show. All the must-see vintage furniture, lighting and accessories dealers in one place makes for serious temptation. Lucy and Petra organise the shows with their idiosyncratic verve and energy and in atmospheric locations so the events feel like an occasion / day out and not just a shopping experience.' Jenny Dalton. Freelance. How To Spend It. Financial Times.

'Held in the beautiful and very appropriate Christison building designed by Wates in the Sixties, this show is stuffed with all the recognisable classics of Scandinavian, American and British heroes of 20C design. It's like visiting a design museum where you can sit on the classics, talk to knowledgable people and then take the exhibits home with you. I enjoy every show immensely and would recommend this show to any lover of design.' Matthew Hilton, furniture designer
