The Edge Clock by Tomoko Azumi is fairly recent design, but it would look at home amongst some mid-century styles.

It is made from solid aluminium and is available in two sizes and a choice of either natural or white-painted finish.

Viaduct currently features this Edge Clock on their website, but you need to contact them for prices. However, it is available on a number of Japanese websites including Hug Style Online, where they cost 8,400 Yen (around £65) which seems very reasonable.

Arte Espina have created a selection of rugs exclusively for Funky Rug, with the name of “Hippy Chick”.

As the name suggests, these are inspired with psychedelic patterns and hippie emblems. They feature flowers, butterflies, stars, moon, CND signs and of course, the words “Peace and “Love”. The rugs are so colourful, the word vibrant doesn’t do them justice. They certainly make a statement, but whether or not it is the sort of statement you’d want to make in your own home is another matter!

They are made from premium quality New Zealand wool and silk with prices starting from around £725. .Visit the Funky Rugs website to view the whole collection.

I wouldn’t normally associate revolutions with teapots, but Alan Aldridge’s psychedelic Revolution design is decorating this white china teapot to great effect.

As you would expect from Aldridge’s designs, the pattern comprises of colourful flowers with the word “Revolution” in a suitably curling font. If revolution isn’t your thing, there is a similar “All You Need is Love” design.

The teapot costs £30 from Bliss Home. A matching mug is also available for £10.
