Junk Deluxe are a double act, Benjamin, who has a particular penchant for anything industrial, metal, and modernist, and Hayley, who has an eye for off the wall, quirky items, that your Gran definitely never owned. Based in Margate, Kent, Junk Deluxe focuses on affordable modern design. Specialising in furniture and lighting, they stock items from the modernist 1930's, right up to the exuberant, quality conscious 1980s, and anywhere excellent in between.Junk Deluxe is deeply hidden within another shop, on a residential street, so it's best to come prepared with a map. Upon finding the shop, customers are usually surprised to discover a shop not filled with the usual mid century design cliches, but an array of unique and novel items that they have probably never seen before, and are unlikely to see again.
