New in at Dwell is the Mixed Messages Mug.
The mug comes with 150 numbers and characters so you can create your own personalised message. The end result looks rather like a ransom note, which always brings to mind a punk aesthetic. It looks as if it would hold quite a lot of tea too, which is always a good thing in our book.
The mug costs £16.95 from the Dwell website.
You would be forgiven for thinking the print on this V&A and Liberty Art Tray comes from the middle of the last century. In fact, it dates from much further back than that – 1797 to be precise.
The V&A Shop and Liberty Art Fabrics have collaborated on a limited edition collection o f18 printed cottons, featuring designs from quilts in the V&A’s collection. The fabric designs have now been put onto a range of different shaped and sized trays.
The trays cost between £18 and £35 from the V&A Shop.
Following the Ethan School Desk for kids we featured earlier this week, now here is a stylish desk for grown-ups.
The House Doctor DK Wooden Desk is made of solid wood with three useful drawers. The drawers are each painted a different colour, adding to the midcentury look of the piece.
It costs £850 from Bodie and Fou. Order to today for delivery early in July.
The Lazy Bones Stool has been designed by English architect Barnaby Gunning for SLIDE Designs.
It is made from polyethylene in a choice of colours, including retro favourites white and orange and can be used indoors or out. But that’s not all – it can also have a light added to it, so it can double as lamp.
Prices start at £280 for the basic stool option. Contact Kalusto Furniture about adding the light.
