Vintage Television Frame

15602618_01_b

We featured another frame in the shape of retro television some time ago, but I think this Vintage Television Frame may be better.

It is available in a choice of grey or black and has a lot of detailing on it to make it look more like an old-fashioned set. It will take a 4 by 5 inches sized photograph.

It is available from Urban Outfitters in the USA for $18 (who are now delivering to the UK for an additional $50 – perhaps not worth while for just this item alone!).

Santa & Cole Ibiza Lounge Chair

2186

The Ibiza Lounge Chair was designed by Germán Rodríguez Arias in the 1950s to furnish his house (no prizes for guessing where) the island of Ibiza.

Its frame is constructed using a single piece of steel tubing, completed with upholstered backrest and seat in a regal shade of purple. It looks good, but it also look like the sort of chair that you wouldn't want to get up out off.

It is currently available to buy from Nest at a 10% reduction, costing £989.10 rather than the previous price of £1,099. Visit the for further details.

Vintage Vinyl Canvas

Vintagevinyl

All sorts of things can be bought via Amazon these days, including art it seems. Amongst the usual pop art style portraits, I found this Vintage Vinyl Canvas, which would look good hung over your record collection.

It features a vintage photograph of a 1970's record on a old, vinyl coated retro style belt driven deck. It is in striking colours, with the record being on green vinyl with a yellow label.

It costs £39 from WhoArtNow on Amazon.

PT Home Retro Alarm Clock

870pic_large

This Retro Alarm Clock by PT Home won’t wake you up with music or a cup of tea. It is plainly and simply an alarm clock, but sometimes that is enough.

It has an attractive cream exterior, housing an LCD display for the time. It measures 12cm x 6cm x 6cm and runs on 2 AA batteries. There isn’t much more to say about other than the price which is a suitably modest £15.

It can be bought online from Iggloo.

Missoni Voile Beanbag

Missoni_voilebean

The beanbag has come along way since it first found favour in hippie homes in the late 1960s. Designer brand Missoni have given the humble beanbag a suitably upmarket makeover in the form of the Voile Beanbag.

It features a bold Missoni pattern of brightly coloured pansies, which still retains a retro look. However, the price puts this product firmly in the deluxe category, costing £413.

The Missoni Voile Beanbag is available to buy online from Dotmasion.
