This More Tea Vicar Print is in a similar war era style as the well-known Keep Calm series.
Whilst there has been plenty of these types of designs around in recent years, this one wins us over with its cute teapot illustration and a reference to our favourite beverage. It meaures 14cm by 18cm and is sold framed in a black wood frame.
It costs £12.95 from Vinegar Hill.
We featured the Vitra DSW Chair by Charles & Ray Eames when it was re-issued back in 2007, but are mentioning them again as they are now available in a new selection of colours.
The chair itself is based on a 1950 design and now they come in a colour palette that reflects that era. Colours include mustard, cream, stone white, ocean, poppy red and mauve grey, along with the classic black and white options. Like the 2007 versions, these chairs are made from polypropylene, which is kinder to the environment than the original fibreglass.
The chairs are available from Heal’s, priced £302 each.
If you’ve ever been tempted by the retro sweets we’ve featured here, perhaps you would also be interested in these vintage-style Candystore Glass Jars
Each jar measures 18cm high by 11cm wide with a volume of 1 litre and they are sold in sets of three. Of course, most of us don’t hoard sweets, so a more practical use might be for storing tea, coffee and sugar.
They cost just £10 from Colloco.
The Kartell Pop Sofa consists of two armchairs that can easily be detached from and reattached one another, should you wish to change your seating configuration.
This is what the manufacturer describes as “infinitely repeatable”, a quality that is probably most useful if this furniture is used in a business location. What caught my eye about the Pop Sofa was not this flexibility, but its upholstery options, which include the 1970s style options of jeans, orange or mustard coverings. The two-seater sofa costs £1572 for most fabrics or £1763 in the jeans option, whilst a single armchair costs £894 or £928.

Yellow Owl Workshop has produced a collection of ornaments, under the name Ceramic Photographic Legacy, which should appeal to photographers and fans of vintage cameras.
Pictured here is the Ghost Camera 1980, which is modelled on the One Touch camera. There is also one from the 1960s in the style of the Argus Brick camera and from the 1970s based on the SX-70. Each one is hand cast in glazed earthenware in stark white.
They cost $70 each from Buy Olympia.
In celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Festival of Britain, Heal’s has gone all out with the promotion of 1950s-inspired products, many of which we’ve mentioned here before. One that is new to us, and definitely worth looking at, is the John Jenkins Studio Desk, created exclusively for Heal’s.
The desk is made from a combination of oak and walnut veneer and features a drop-down work surface. The rest of the unit provide a good amount of storage space, although if that isn’t enough for you, there are other office units in the same range.
The desk costs £895 from Heal’s.
