Our Story
Living in Style Gallery was founded by Beata Szabó, a Hungarian-born collector with two decades of experience sourcing mid-century pieces across Europe. What began as a personal obsession with post-war Italian and Scandinavian design became a gallery — a physical space where objects with a story find their next chapter.
Every piece in our collection is hand-selected, gallery-checked and restored to the standard you expect from Marylebone’s most considered interiors destination. We don’t stock — we curate.
“Every object has lived a life.
We help it live the next one.”— Beata Szabó, Founder

With over 25 years in the business, Beata Szabo, owner of Living in Style Gallery, discovered her passion for Art-Deco and Mid-Century Modern furniture while living in Paris. Widely regarded as a connoisseur and expert in Mid-Century Modern, Vintage, Retro and Contemporary European Furniture, she sources the most intriguing of pieces and brings them here to the UK market.
A natural creative flair and a knack for finding the most interesting artisanal and designer pieces — Beata has personally curated a collection of furniture, lighting, mirrors and home accessories that is unique to London.
How We Think
The mid-century era understood that design should serve life, not the other way around. We’ve carried that forward.
We trace every piece before it enters the gallery. Maker, decade, origin, material — if we can’t verify it, it doesn’t make the cut. Our clients deserve to know exactly what they’re bringing home.
We rewire, re-upholster and clean — we never refinish, overpaint or alter. The patina of age is not a flaw to correct; it’s the proof of a life well-lived.
We carry fewer pieces than our competitors. Deliberately. Every object on the floor has earned its place — because it stopped us in our tracks when we found it.
