Directory Offer
Long before productivity hacks, matriarchal societies organised life around thirteen lunar cycles, not twelve rigid blocks. Thirteen made room for reflection, integration, and learning - a built-in “what did we actually learn?” moment before starting again. No hustle, no shame, no pretending the past year didn’t just happen. Thirteen has long been known as a powerful women’s number; not unlucky, just inconvenient for systems that prefer speed over wisdom. Thirteen symbolises rebellion, independence, and quiet strength. It’s about owning change instead of fearing it.
So this month, as Lucy, Petra and Tanya celebrate another year of our midcentury and modern directory The Modern Marketplace, the Modern Shows® team want to honour that energy by gifting new marketplace sign-ups an extra month free. That’s 13 months for the price of 12 at 2025 prices to respect a small but meaningful pause in a world obsessed with rushing ahead. Because sometimes the most radical thing you can do in 2026 isn’t move faster but rather stop long enough to integrate, learn, and choose what comes next.
The Modern Marketplace Offer closes 14th Feb
Join a host of vintage brands including Merchant and Found and travel expert Architourian as well as modern producers and brands including Carl Hansen & Son, Jasper Morrison and Storigraphic.
