DIGITAL VINTAGE

ATTIC Attic is a vintage decor shop owned by Kelly van Niekerk and her mother Paula. "My parents have a vintage decor store, Vamp Furniture, so I've always been surrounded by inspiring designs, and have always loved looking for treasures," says Kelly. Every Tuesday they do "The Attic Edit" on their Instagram feed, posting stock for that week. "We tend to do smaller drops of up to 10 items - we're quite picky about what we source, only stocking items in good condition that we'd want in our own homes." Attic specialises in small pieces from the Mid-century era to modern-day design. "We love iconic Mid-century Danish and Finnish designers, as well as contemporary brands such as Alessi and Kartell," says Kelly. "We're inspired by Mid-century architects who went on to design smaller decor pieces - like Arne Jacobsen, who collaborated with Stelton to create amazing tableware in the '60s." They were lucky enough to get hold of many Stelton pieces last year and put them on the local resale map. attic_capetown

RETRO-LICIOUS

Mid-century is not just making an interior design comeback: food is following right behind. So put on your vintage 1950s LUCIENNE DAY-PRINT APRON - or '70s HALSTON JUMPSUIT if you're feeling a little funkier - and get inspired by ABIGAIL DONNELLY's reimagining of classic dishes. Think moulded jellies, finger foods and soft-serve ice cream.

We asked ABIGAIL DONNELLY to share her favourite recipes for fermented flavour bombs that you can replicate in your OWN KITCHEN.
