New from Vinylux is the Vinyl Picture Frame. You may remember their coasters that we featured a while ago and it looks like this is what was made from what was left over from creating those.
The centre of the record has been removed (to make coasters) and then the remaining vinyl has been trimmed to create a picture frame. It can be wall mounted or stood and will hold a 5 x 5 picture.
Visit the Vinylux website for details of stockists.
The Sultan Dog Stool is a new product from French designers Ibride, but it wouldn’t look out of place amongst the designs by the Surrealists.
Made from high pressure laminate, the stool has legs that are shaped unmistakeably like a canine’s lower half. It is available in a choice of black or red and can also be used as a side table.
It costs £145 from Abode Living.
And now for something entirely practical…This Vintage Fabric Kneeler isn’t an iconic design, but for any keen gardeners whose knees aren’t as young as they once were, it could be a godsend.
Its deep foam cushion is covered with a floral patterned vintage cotton barkcloth from the 1960s. It has a handle for easy storage and is comfortable enough to double as a regular cushion.
It costs £21 from The Laundry.
Katherine Bree specialises in handcrafted jewellery that references Britain’s heritage. Amongst her current one-off designs is this beautiful 1930s Button Necklace.

Oregon based company Resource Revival is keen on sustainable living and the idea that consumers know the origins of the products they buy. Their products are made from used bicycles parts, which bike shops around the USA send to them to be transformed into new products.
Amongst their current designs is this Recycled Bicycle Chain Frame. Like most conventional frames, it can be hung or stood vertically or horizontally, but has the added talking point of being made from old bike chains. It is available in two sizes 4 inches by 6 or 5 x7, which cost $38 and $40 (around £20) respectively.
It can ordered online from the Elsewheres website.

It costs just under £50 and is available to order from Vertigo Interiors.
