‘Our dinners are a real eye opener’ 1940s design poster
We've previously featured the reclaimed vintage fittings and posters from Trainspotters. They've now issued their own poster: this unusual 'Our dinners are a real eye opener' print.
The design is reproduced from a 1940s original and, as it was obviously once from a cafe or restaurant, would look great in a kitchen.
It's been produced as a limited run and costs £80.

Pure Evil Hammer Twins print
Art inspired by classic Some Hammer Horror film inspired art here, with the Hammer Twins print from East London street artist Pure Evil.
The giclee print is based around the poster artwork for the 1971 film Twins of Evil (apparently released as the Evil Twins in the UK). It's Pure Evil's favourite Hammer film, with the vampire (and evil) theme having an obvious link with his well known 'vampire bunnies' graffiti.
A limited edition of 10, with each signed by the artist, it costs £215 unframed or £275 framed.

Home Sweet Home limited edition screen prints by Eine
Known primarily as a street artist (and indeed as a screen-printer to some iconic modern-day images), Eine has gone all retro with the Home Sweet Home limited edition screen prints.
A timeless image that would suit everyone from the ironic man about town to your granny, it's available in a series of six images (each with different colourways), all of those images limited to just 30, signed and numbered by the artist. Which does indeed make them a shrewd investment as well as an eye-catching bit of home design.
Each is a five-colour screen print, sized around 35 x 50cm and selling for £75 at Nelly Duff.
Polaroid relaunches the OneStep film camera – the PIC 1000
Ignoring the wider use of digital snappers, Polaroid has gone all retro on us and announced the reissue of the classic OneStep film camera, now going by the name of the PIC 1000.
In a launch supported by Lady Gaga (now creative director of the company, would you believe), the new version was shown off as pretty much a replica of the old version, throwing out instant snaps with a white border, using classic Polaroid Color 600 Instant Film.
Aside from that, we know little except the camera will be offered in a range of colours and be available widely through 2010. Price? We can't see it breaking the bank.
Sunday Best by Ellen Giggenbach
Looking for some unusual original art to brighten up your home? Boxbird have a selection of work by New Zealand artist Ellen Giggenbach, including the pictured piece, Sunday Best.
Her aesthetics are clearly influenced by some 50s designers, such as Alexander Girard, but each piece is actually painstakingly created by placing hand-painted and cut paper onto board.
Each piece is produced in limited numbers, so move quickly if you like a particular design. Sunday Best costs £200.
