Aimee Wilder Analog Nights screenprints and cushions

Aimee1

At the start of this year, we featured the Aimee Wilder Analog Nights retro wallpaper, a collage of all that is great and good in vintage audio. The downside? Well, at around £110 a roll, it was a little rich for many of us. Well, now there's a way to get the look for less of your cash – the Aimee Wilder Analog Nights screenprints and cushions.

Yes, that same eye-catching retro design is now available as a limited edition screenprint, 25 prints available for each colourway, all sized at 18 x 18inches, centered on 22 x 26-inch archival eco-friendly paper. Yours for $45.

See over the page for an image of the cushion, which is available with or without piping detail, sized at 16 inches square and hand screenprinted in a variety of colours. Complete with fill, it sells for $50.

Paul Thurlby Alphabet prints

Thurlby alphabet

Illustrator Paul Thurlby has put together an alternative alphabet, each letter (and print) representing a different word. So, 'I' for example, shows a beautiful hula girl on a palm tree bedecked island and the letter 'R' has been used to form a cute rabbit. The illustrations have a wonderful retro feel and draw inspiration from lots of different sources from pulp novels to transport posters (as in the 'S' and 'U' images shown above).

The images are available as 12 inch by 9 inch giclee print for £27 each. At the moment there's a buy two and get a third one for free deal on the website, making them ideal presents for all those Toms, Dans and Sues you may have in your life. Delivery is 2 to 3 weeks within the UK so, if you are thinking of getting them as Christmas presents, move quickly!

Dieter Rams 10 principles of good design poster for Vitsoe

Rams10

If you watched the 'never quite as good as it could be' Culture Show on the BBC last night, you'll have seen Dieter Rams being interviewed in relation to his Less Is More exhibition at the Design Museum and discussing his 10 principles of good design. If you missed it, you can now get those principles in poster form.

Designed by Dieter Rams and Bibliotheque for Vitsoe, it's a reduced size version of a large plan on display at the exhibition, perfect for anyone considering if their design is up to the mark in the modern era, as well as for lovers of Rams' own industrial designs of the 1950s to the 1980s.

This version of the poster is sized at 841mm x 1189mm, available either directly from Vitsoe (makers of Rams' iconic 606 shelving system, dating back to 1960) or from the Design Museum Shop, priced at £25.

Mondrian furniture stickers by Boym

Mondrian

We've featured many Mondrian-inspired furnishings over the months and years, the majority adding a significant premium for the artistic leaning. So we're quite pleased to see these Mondrian furniture stickers by Boym.

Details are thin on the ground, but we do know that the block artwork, inspired by Mondrian's work of the 1920s, is available as vinyl stickers for chairs, tables and cabinets. What we don't know is size – so we'll presume they're standard, so you can cut them down to fit the shape of your furnishing. Or make sure you have furniture sized like the items above – where you have to admit, they look superb.

Prices start at £36.80.

Andy Warhol Cars Calendars

E540334323

A new design to enter Teneues calendar range for 2010 is the Andy Warhol Cars.

The images used in the calendars are taken from the series of images Warhol created for Mercedes Benz in 1986/7 to commemorate the 100th birthday of the automobile. The series was supposed to consist of 80 images based on 20 types of Mercedes to tell the story of the car, but unfortunately Warhol died leaving only 35 images of 8 cars completed.

There are two calendars available; the poster calendar measuring 48 x 64 cm for £24.99 and the standard 30cm square calendar for £9.99. Even for someone like myself who isn’t a huge car enthusiast, this makes an interesting change from the usual Warhol images of Marilyn and the soup cans. Buy online directly from Teneues.

Eastway cycle circuit print by James Brown

Eastway

This striking image is a tribute to the now closed Eastway cycle circuit in east London which was moved for the development of the Olympic Park. Artist James Brown was apparently influenced by an image he saw on a 1963 Czech matchbox but the simple outline of the cyclist and the bold colours used also make it reminiscent of sporting posters and logos from around 1975, the year the Eastway opened.

The image is silkscreen printed onto brown board. It's a limited edition of 100 and, at time of writing, there only seems to be a few left. If you want it then, you'd better get on your bike…

The print costs £58 from Boxbird
