Ernst Eloff, co-founder of Mid-Century Modern, now works as an independent buyer and collector of mid-century furniture pieces. His studio apartment in Gardens doubles as a temporary showroom where recognisable icons of the period make for quirky living room accents. Chrome pendant ceiling lights and high-backed siesta lounge chairs (circa 1970) might feature comfortably in grainy pre-millenium home video or science fiction film set, yet they're invading contemporary homes, offices and doctors' rooms like it's 1955 again.
