The Brocante market ( facebook.com/thebrocantemarket) is this Sunday at the Dublin Co-op on Newmarket Square in Dublin 8, from 11am to 5.30pm.
Paul Byrne of RetroRumage (086-8566866 and
retrorumage.tumblr.com) is just one of the many mid-century Modern and vintage dealers showing their wares.
The smart Danish desk, created by Rud Thygesen and Johnny Sorensen and manufactured by Magnus Olesen in the early 1980s, is a perfect example of pared-back Scandi design. Made of beech, its top is inlaid with dark green laminate and it has a floating storage drawer.
Normally priced between €1,200 and €1,500 depending on its condition, the first Bargain Hunter to present today's column to Paul at his stand can buy it for €575.
The desk is 140cm x 70cm x 70cm deep.
