A tiny space in the back streets of Darlo, Twentieth Century Modern is a collection of Ken Neale’s antique discoveries - and an extension of his artistic mind. Ken’s furniture collection began with his adventures around New Zealand, collecting mid-century furniture and objects for no particular reason other than he was drawn to them. Now his little shop is home to a lot of these beautiful quality pieces and curious objects from the past (unsurprisingly he also has a massive warehouse stockpiled with even more goodies).
