Joseph Joseph Retro Appliances Worktop Savers

Joseph_mixerJoseph Joseph have undoubtedly cornered the market in worktop savers and we’ve featured a couple of their designs before. The range now also includes two retro kitchen appliance designs; the Mixer Workshop Saver and the Espresso Machine Workshop Saver.

These designs use 1950s style pastel shade but with a bold drawing style that stops them from looking twee. Like all of their worktop savers, these come with a lifetime guarantee against breakage which is good except that with so many great designs to choose from, an excuse to buy a couple would be welcome.

The Perfect Pad is selling both these designs and others priced £12.99.

Mini Rodini Robot T-Shirts

MrtshirtrobotwhilIt should be obvious by now that we love a retro robot motif, so we were pleased to find another source of great Robot print children’s clothes, designed by Swedish designer, Mini Rodini.

Available to buy through the Nordic Kids website, there are currently two robot designs available. For around £23, there is long-sleeved t-shirt with various pink robots, available for ages 4 to 7, but our favourite is the Leon the Robot t-shirt, which features a picture of a manic looking robot. This t-shirt comes in sizes from 12 months up to 7 years and costs £19.99. Sadly, it doesn’t come in adult sizes…

It also has some beading detail consisting of black circles and squares. As well as being a pretty dress, there can’t be many dresses around with such high brow references!

Black and Silver Art Deco Mirror

Bg135It has been a while since we last featured a mirror because there isn’t often that much of interest around, but this mirror from Mirror Mirror is worthy of a mention.

They are calling it simply the Retro Black & Silver Mirror but it could be described as an Art Deco mirror as its stepped shape and contrasting colours have characteristics of that style. It costs £235 and is made to order.

Enquiries can be made via the Mirror Mirror website.

Rock and Roll China

P_rockplatesguitarTeenage dreams of being a rock god may have given way to a steady job, family and vital decisions about crockery, but you can still inject a bit of rock n roll glamour into your life with this set of Rock and Roll China.

Made of white porcelain with a cool black print, the series comprises of a mug and two sizes of plate in a choice of four designs; drums, guitar, amp or microphone. The smaller plates are particularly nice as they feature a rock n roll phrase around the edge.

Okay, so buying plates probably doesn’t come high on most hedonists’ to do lists, but for those of us outside of that world, these are a small consolation.

Prices start at £11 for the 20cm plate up to £14 for the larger plate from Pussy Home Boutique.

Urban Outfitters’ Bauhaus Tee

5111415164679_medBauhaus: you’ve visited the exhibition, you’ve admired the architecture, you’ve coveted the furniture – all that remains for you to do is get the t-shirt. Ever reliable when it comes to printed t-shirts, Urban Outfitters is currently selling the Bauhaus Tee.

The print consists of triangles, lines and geometric shapes that were beloved of the movement, although I would have expected the use of more primary colours to be more in keeping with the style.

It costs £28 and is available to buy online now.
