Not the first time we’ve featured Clifford Richards here – and it’ll not the last if he keeps producing cool designs like this Clifford Richards Medicine Cabinet.
Just as a piece of pop art-style design it would be worth a mention, but as a practical metallic bathroom cabinet, which can be wall-mounted or left freestanding, it’s certainly a winner.
Sized at 30cm x 30cm x 15cm, you can pick it up for £86.50.
Good to see that distinctly 70s shade of avocado making a comeback – and on the incredibly 70s Vulcano coffee table.
It’s a modern design, the work of Paola Navone, packing those space age curves and a solid/chunky base, with a rectangular surface (sized around 60 x 40cm), with a protective lacquered finish to finish things off.
Not just the avocado, there’s an endless number of colour options available, all retailing via Poliform for £668.

Dualit has made its mark with retro-styled toasters and radios, but now it’s moved into the coffee market, specifically with the Dualit Espressivo coffee machine.
Available in a chrome or cream finish, its retro looks are matched with a hefty bunch of features for making everything from a strong espresso to a creamy latte, including a self-priming 15 bar pump, super-fast start (ready to go in 40 seconds), instant hot water and constant steam, froth nozzle, cup warming plate, a 1.5-litre tank and enough room for a cup or a mug.
Yours for around £150.

Looking for a weird and wonderful space age light for your living room? The Santa & Cole Steen hanging light could be for you.
Designed back in 1972 by Steen Jorgensen, it’s described as a ‘system of concentric discs’, which diffuse the light, offering up more brightness for larger spaces. Four white metallic plates in total, with a brass-like stem and circular ceiling rose.
Now reissued, it sells for £857.

Can you believe the futuristic Cassina Ombra lounge chair is over 50 years old?
Indeed it is, designed back in 1953 in Tokyo by Charlotte Perriand for her husband’s house. It’s an easy chair, with a choice of polished chrome plate or painted black steel frame/legs, supporting polyurethane/polyester cushions within removable covers.
Simple, stylish and still ahead of its time – you can grab one in black or white for around £2,400.

We don’t like to get too technical, nor do we like showing off things you can’t buy, but we really can’t resist this newly-unveiled Olympus Micro Four Thirds camera.
For ease of explanation, let’s just say that Micro Four Thirds is the latest high-end camera format, removing the traditional mirror, prism and optical viewfinder of the SLR, replacing it with digital technology – which means you get the same functionality, but less bulk and weight.
And this 60s-inspired model is the end result. It’s certainly real people-friendly and oozing style with its two tone body in brushed metal. We’re hoping it keeps the same look when it officially launches (this is just a concept). if it does, we’ll be trading in our Leica as soon as it hits the shelves.
