Ernő Goldfinger’s house
Midcentury Modern is launching a new show at the recently restored Haggerston School, a Grade-II listed building built in 1964-5 by the architect Ernő Goldfinger.
Ernő Goldfinger, who also designed Trellick Tower in Golborne Road and Balfron Tower in Poplar, is one of the first architects to develop the use of concrete in the UK, inspired by Auguste Perret and Le Corbusier. The modernist home that the architect designed and lived in, in Hampstead, is now a museum. The school, which was recently modernised and refurbished by Avanti Architects, contains bold interiors, typical of Goldfinger’s architectural style.
The Midcentury Modern show will include British, American and Scandinavian Twentieth-Century design including Eames, Ercol and Jacobsen, from a range of European furniture dealers.
