About This Site

This website and YouTube channel follows a British / Japanese couple, living in the UK, and our love of the homes, cars, furniture, technology and design of the Mid-Century period (1945 - 1969).

We live in a Mid-Century house, own two 1960's cars, and collect and use Mid-Century furniture, hi-fi and art. The house is slowly being restored as we reinstate more mid-century features, and I'm slowly restoring the cars and other items. We're also recreating mid-century features based on what we've learned and our own preferences. All of this will be covered here.

Mid-Century design in Britain, Europe and Japan was important, but was quite restrained compared to the US. For this reason it tends to be overlooked, but we think it has its own understated charm that we hope to share here.

We'd love to hear from you if you have any suggestions or questions - feel free to get in  touch.

Richard & Masae.
