Mid-Century is, in that horrid term, very ‘on trend’ right now. The 1950s changed the landscape for design thanks to new ideas coming out of the US and Scandinavia and to a certain extent, the UK. New production techniques made it all that better as we started to see plastics arrive in multi-colours and shapes we only ever imagined.
Hopper and Space are taking these classics and breathing new life in to them. Upcycling if you will. Arriving at their site I was greeted with the dulcet tones of 1981’s Teena Marie who offered background music for my shopping along with many other vintage songs, giving me a glimpse in to the world of Hopper and Space’s Ben and Joe.
These two are not the serious side of design, and thankfully so as there is plenty of that already around. They are forcing us to realise that this is supposed to be fun and individual. Furniture is their number one passion – a mission to share their love of stylish well made pieces.
“Our furniture collection invites you to invest in functional objects of beauty for your space. Bright colours, stylish lines and sturdy timeless design is what we are all about. Our upholstered pieces offer a unique opportunity to snap up a unique piece that is designed to last; something to use, cherish and become part of your history.”
