Earlier this month I dropped into the opening of Modern Times Pop-up Shop 2. Following the sucess of Modern Times last year in St Kilda, Amy and Joel have popped up again in a spacious vacant shop on Smith Street in Collingwood. There are mid-century original Danish leather sofas, arm chairs, Teak wall-units and hand crafted wooden coffee tables on display. The showroom is stylized with bright and quirky retro inspired accessories by local indi designers.
Love this royal blue vintage sofa-bed and cushions by My Poppet!

Modern Times 2 is open every day (expect Christmas day) until the 31st of December 2011. Opening hours are Sunday to Wednesday 10am to 6pm and Thursday to Saturday 10am – 9pm.
Oh Elle, I just saw your guest post at My Poppet and your tree is fabulous!!
My kids have been begging for a christmakkah tree. We even grow them. But I just had no idea how to decorate it without it looking too…Christmassy.
I am so bookmarking this for next year.
