Brighton POD

Trawling vintage boutiques, charity shops and flea markets for original retro gems may be the perfect way to spend a weekend for many lovers of past styles, myself included. But you don’t have to spend your days hunting for that elusive perfect piece to get the look you want for your home.

Brighton POD, which stands for Promoting Original Design, does just what it says on the tin, acting as a shop window for a selection of Britain’s independent design talent.

As well as cute ceramics, contemporary lighting and unique jewellery, there are some fab vintage-inspired homewares on offer that add fun twists to classic designs.
