Isokon Gallery

This 1930s Marcel Breuer Isokon Long Chair was originally bought at Dunn's Of Bromley - one of the few modernist furniture shops in Britain at the time - and has now been beautifully restored by A & M Restoration and Conservation around the corner from Isokon Flats. From 19th November, you can see the chair on display at the "This Was Tomorrow - Five Hungarian modernists in London, 1930-60s" exhibition at at Hungary House, just off Trafalgar Square. The exhibition traces the intersecting personal and professional networks of László Moholy-Nagy, Marcel Breuer, György Kepes, Ernő Goldfinger and Peter László Peri.

Isokon Flats in the 1930s offered a 'very full domestic service' which included shoe cleaning, laundry, window cleaning (all the more important when coal ruled), bed making and meals - such as Chicken Isobar - brought to your flat or served 'in the club'. Rents were squarely set for middle-class incomes and at 25 m2 the single flats on offer were hardly spacious, although well-planned by architect Wells Coates after a brief by client Molly Pritchard. If you want to see inside such a flat with period furniture and objects, visit us this Sunday 18th from 11 am. The last flat tour ends 1 pm, the museum stays open until 4 pm.

Earlier this year, we introduced modernist houses as bird houses. Now we have added the same houses as keyrings. Available from isokongallery.org and the gift shop at the Isokon Gallery museum.

Here is a recent article about Isokon Flats published in Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ). Founded in 1780, NZZ is the oldest continuously published newspaper in Switzerland and one of the oldest in the world. When Isokon Flats opened in 1934, almost all of the furniture in the famous penthouse had been purchased from the shop Wohnbedarf in Zurich.
