Porada Oscar Trolley

Posted on | Leave a comment

Porada_oscar_425a 
A trolley was very much a “must-have” item for any self-respecting host back in the 1970s and I don’t see any reason why today’s homes should be without.

The Porada Oscar Trolley is a great option as it has some retro features, but still looks sleek and stylish. The shelves all have rounded edges with the top shelf being cut away to allow bottles to stand on the middle shelf. It is available in a number of different finishes, but the walnut and chrome combination pictured here is arguably the most stylish.

Buy it from Mac and Mac Interiors, priced £841.

Loopy Coffee Table

Loopy-L127-7503 
The Loopy Coffee Table has been a best-seller for GillmoreSPACE since they started selling it in 2002. Whilst it isn’t of a vintage origin, its style is very much of the 1960s.

Its name comes from the fact that its shape is a loop (rather than it being slightly crazy). It is available in matt white lacquer or an oak finish. The table is currently on offer with the oak priced £345 and the white £332.

Buy it online at GillmoreSPACE.

It was designed by Mathieu Mategot and like the Eames design, dates back to the 1950s. It is made from brass and black metal with red, yellow and white circles to hang your coats on.

It costs £117.50 from Nest.

Plex Cuckoo Clock

Posted on | Leave a comment

Plex_white01 
The Plex Cuckoo Clock combines modern minimalism with the traditional cuckoo clock.

The clock has a lacquered finish, in a huge array of colours, although my choice would be this white version that is reminiscent of 1960s space-age design. The cuckoo clock mechanism includes a light meter to ensure that the cuckoo only comes out during day, so you won’t be woken up by it at night.

Buy it from Bouf for £165.
