Love Scandinavian and American Modernism, European Bauhaus, British, French and German Industrial? Looking for a huge range of prices and styles from the best in 20C design classics and modern collectables? Find it here at the celebrated show backed by Elle Decoration that has been lauded as a top shopping experience by Time Out, Monocle, Rough Guide to Vintage London, Grand Designs and the London Design Guide.

Find everything for the eclectic home at this much-loved one day show from an original Cherner chair to a contemporary piece from a hot young British designer. Source the latest furniture, wallpaper, ceramics, cushions and gifts upstairs after you have scoured the most collectable vintage furniture and home ephemera on the planet downstairs. Collectors on the hunt for even more mid-century furniture, ceramics, fabrics, art and glass can take a walk to the South Cloister, Lower Hall and North Cloister where 40 more dealers are situated. Midcentury Modern and The Midcentury Show have a cult following of midcentury aficianados and design lovers from all over the British Isles who gather one Sunday a few times a year at Lords Cricket Ground and Dulwich College to feed off their mutual love for design at what has been described as an inspiring museum-style pop up shop.

The Modern Shows team was picked by Wayne and Gerardine Hemingway and The South Bank to be the main furniture and homeware curator for Vintage Festival 2011 and also picked to fill a quarter of the downstairs space at the top show of Design Week. Design Junction attracted 30,000 plus visitors from here and overseas.

'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
