Mid-century modern furniture series by Eric Rewitzer

Rewitzer chairs

The classic looks of a mid-century chair seems to inspire a steady stream of artists. This modern furniture series by Eric Rewitzer is perfect for seating lovers who may have spent the majority of their money on an Egg chair, as the prints cost just $25 each. 

There are ten lino prints in total, each measuring 6 x 8 inches. As well as including Finn Juhl's Chieftain chair and Nelson's Marshmallow sofa, as shown in the images, there's also the Egg chair and all the regular Eames, Saarinen and van der Rohe numbers you'd expect in a series like this. Each design has been produced in a limited edition of 100. 

As well as the reasonable individual price, you can get all ten prints for $200: a mere fraction of the price you'd pay for the real thing.

Pentax Optio H90 digital camera offers Dieter Rams-like styling

H90_3

Yesterday, we featured the 1960s-styling of the Pentax Optio I-10 camera. In the comments related to that camera, another new launch was pointed out – the Pentax Optio H90 digital camera.

It's not quite as obviously retro as the I-10, but it does look like it could have come straight out of the Dieter Rams design catalogue – the kind of stylish but functional design the great man was known for. We suspect that's no accident – and Rams should indeed be flattered by his continuing influence.

Pentax goes retro with the newly-launched Optio I-10 digital camera

Pentax_i10

If you like the look of the Olympus E-P1, but didn't much care for the price, here's another stylish retro camera to consider – the Pentax Optio I-10.

Sadly it's not pushing the same technological boundaries as the Olympus effort, but it is stil a very good digital compact camera, offering up a 12-megapixel sensor, 5x optical zoom, auto focus and exposure and face recognition, the latter able to accurately detect up to 32 faces in a single shot. Oh yes and for animal lovers, it can even capture up to two or three dog and cat faces too.

Throw in HD (720p) video recording and that two-tone 60s style and you've got a very tasty piece of kit, which will be available from next month for £199.99.
