SHOWROOM & SHOP
Designs of Modernity has been trading since 2005 from an 800 square foot shop space in the separate basement area at Crystal Palace Antiques and Modern, south London. The showroom is open seven days a week.
Designs Of Modernity prides itself in stocking quality, sympathetically restored, and often totally reupholstered classic original items. We use Kvadrat fabrics and quality leather hides for all our work. Restoration is always hand-finished and all lighting stock is re-wired and fully PAT tested to comply with modern safety standards. As well as our extensive inventory we specialise in sourcing and offering advice on specific pieces you may be searching for.
Throughout mainland UK we offer free delivery included in the listed price of all our items. Delivery to central Europe and Scandinavia can be arranged at cost using our preferred carrier who leaves the UK once a month. Worldwide deliveries made by arrangement.
