Fragile Design

I first came across Fragile by accident about a year ago but only recently managed to get in due to its limited ‘designer-​esque opening hours (Wednesday to Saturday or by appointment only)! However, I’m glad I made it inside this wonderful oasis of 20^th century furniture! It looks like the house I grew up in with furniture of browns, greens and oranges and yet the furniture looks new. Most items have been refurbished to look like new but still distinctly retro. I was after a very large but unique lampshade and what they actually sell are new ones (albeit made with vintage materials) I thought it was odd that the gentleman didn’t take my details to sell me one but instead gave me a flyer of the designer in London that makes them.
Fragile Design do offer ‘looking for something’ form on their website so the store is fantastic if you have something very particular in mind, as I tend to when it comes to furnishings.

Specialised in 20^th century vintage design furniture and gadgets for home, Fragile Design is a fine shop to stop and take a good look around, with no pressure or hurry, if it’s possible!
If you’re looking for a unique home design fix, this is the place to be! I have looked for a new coffee table over past few weeks and I was glad to find some gorgeous samples at Fragile Design. As their collection includes an exclusive and stunning memorabilia, it’s likely to be undecided about what to get. The pottery decorative pieces are amazing and this is just a snapshot of what you can expect from this shop.
There are pieces and prices affordable for all kinds of pockets and honestly, for an outstanding vintage shop like this; I didn’t find it expensive at all.
Fragile Design is placed at Custard Factory, inside the Zellig building, and it’s open from Tuesdays to Saturdays (from 10am to 5.30pm) and Sundays, Mondays and Tuesday by making an appointment in advance.
