The traditional, vintage dressing table is often too large or too fussy but this clean-lined, super stylish one from power duo, John and Sylvia Reid is in a different league. With a modernist, pared-back design, this came from their Cumberland C range for British furniture maker, Stag and dates from the 1960s. Made in light oak, there are seven drawers, a full width mirror which can be angled and a practical, black Formica central surface, but overall the size is neat and tidy. The Reids were somewhat ahead of their time, creating clean-lined, Scandinavian-influenced furniture to appeal to a young, fashionable demographic, and this is one of those pieces that looks both midcentury and contemporary – classic, timeless design.
