EXPO – Edinburgh’s Market for Mid-Century Furniture & Design


Expo – Edinburgh’s market for Mid Century Modern furniture and design returns this spring to Out of the Blue. Expo is the place where the best of what Scotland and the North of England’s traders have to offer gather under one roof and now in its third year we’ve had some icons pass through the hall at our six events including pieces by Hans Wegner, Charlotte Perriand, John Piper, Georg Jensen, and Lucienne Day.

Our Spring Expo confirmed traders include;

Lathrisk Woodcraft
Mid Century Finds
Frugal Cool Sustainable Design
The Danish Design Company
Wee Collective
C20 Homes
Retropolis 

Call to traders!

For our purposes we are looking for traders whose stock reflects the design aesthetic of mid century modern – functional, clean lines and modern simplicity – not necessarily made or designed around the middle of the 20th century so if you are a trader who has good quality design-led mid century modern stock in its original condition whether newly made or period authentic then please get in touch.

    Over the course of 2024 Out of the Blue will continue to offer opportunities for artists and members of the community to learn, participate and earn income.

    We use the space we have developed in 6 buildings in Edinburgh for studios, workshops, classes, projects, exhibitions, social enterprises, events, clubs, music making, markets, a cafe and more.

    Our all year round activity helps create the culture of the city, supporting the local economy and having positive social impact for the thousands of individuals and organisations we work with.

    We would humbly accept a financial donation, however small, in support of our work.
