Alto Stile

Alto Stile We source, restore, reupholster vintage Scandinavian design from the 1940's to 1970's But at the same time give my furniture some accent and edge.

Travelling to Denmark and Sweden searching out auction houses, antique fairs and private individuals to find interesting unusual furniture is something I have always enjoyed. I have always been interested in antiques having studied fine arts valuation at university. But it wasn't until I worked at Skandium a modern design store in london and later at Lots Road Auctions that I really became interes

ted in mid century design. I take care once I have found nice things to restore them well, to bring them back from the dead so they look amazing again. I go to great trouble to use tradition techniques like French polishing and soap finishing wood in keeping with the traditions of cabinet making from Scandinavia. I use beautiful expensive fabrics favouring wools, linens and velvets from Danish & Swedish brands like Kvadrat, Svensson and Gabriel. I like to select colours that are in keeping the 1950’s/60’s mid century modern era, a cool restrained palette. Steering away from battleship grey and other dull and uninteresting tones which I feel are a waste when there is so many rich and vibrant fabrics out there. Please come and see what I do and share my enjoyment and passion for all things mid century.
