We do love the designs of Orla Kiely and we love a bargain, so we were delighted to hear about the Orla Kiely Winter Sample Sale.
Taking place from Thursday 8th November until Sunday 11th November in Clapham, it is a great chance to snap up past products and samples at massively reduced prices. The sale includes bags, accessories and clothing.
It is taking place at Studio Voltaire, 1a Nelson’s Row, Clapham Common, London, SW4 7JR.
Full details can be found on the Orla Kiely website.
His Geometri design might be one of the most famous of his textile patterns, but if you want something that features Verner Panton’s trademark vibrant colours, then the VPIII Rug could be the one for you.
Circles are dominant theme of this rug – a circular pattern of rainbow-coloured circles decorate the black rug , which is also circle-shaped. It is handtufted in pure new wool and features Panton’s signature.
Prices start at £699 for a 6’ rug with prices increasing along with the size. For more information visit Mojo Interiors.
And while we are on the subject of iconic buildings, they don’t come much more iconic than Battersea Powerstation, the subject of this print by Nick Hannam, but previously seen on album covers by Pink Floyd and later The Orb.
The building’s famous outline is seen here against a backdrop of a very 70s sludge green sky on this screen print. It is a limited edition, restricted to just 33 copies, hence the price tag of £890, although it does at least come framed.
It is available to buy at Places and Spaces.
The good people at People Will Always Need Plates have come up with another product to satisfy our desire for the Trellick Tower design. Now the iconic building is pictured on a shopping bag. Read more
The Duncan Mug is not named after the designer or any past celebrity of that name, but it is a reference to ‘dunking’ that quaint British habit of dipping one’s biscuit into one’s tea.

Pedlars are selling from for £12 each.
Its Halloween tomorrow which means trick or treat-ers. Probably most kids today are hoping to be given cash for their efforts, but the traditional reward is sweets, which seems like a good excuse to order this Retro Sweets Hamper.
It is filled to the brim with sweets from yesteryear including sweetie necklaces (still stylish!), Parma Violets (you either love them or hate them), Wham Bars (is anything naturally that colour?) and candy cigarettes (not the most politically correct for a child).
The filled hamper costs £30 and for an extra £7.95, you can have next day delivery so it will be with you in time for Halloween if you order now from I Want One of Those.
