Talking everything Mid-Century Modern with Mini Moderns Mark and Keith

Pattern with a story

Today’s guests are a design duo who have turned the mid-century modern design vibe on its head.

Launching in 2006, they started designing applied pattern across a range of products including wallpapers, fabrics, cushions, rugs and ceramics. With the first collection being snapped up by Heal’s they knew they were onto a winner

Their design influences range from mid-century British textiles and vintage toys, literature to Travel from both at home and abroad.

Their style and ethos is instantly recognisable and their brand has grown from strength to strength.

With a spanking new book out all about Mid-century modern living, I can’t think of anyone better to talk about this design style than with today’s guests.

I’m very excited to introduce Keith Stephenson and Mark Hampshire of Mini Moderns
