Isamu Noguchi is no stranger to the pages of Retro To Go, but he is a stranger to UK galleries, having never featured in a major European exhibition. Until now that is, with a major retrospective at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

Isamu Noguchi was very much an all-rounder, which means the exhibition mixes Noguchi’s large stone carvings outside with small interior works, like ceramics, drawings and works on paper, but most notably, the mid-century furniture classics he designed with Charles Eames, Paul László and George Nelson.

Take it all in from 18th July through to 22nd February.

Remember Blockbusters? It was the must-see kids TV show of the 1980s, as two teams of players had to complete a line across the Blockbusters board. A board that looked very much like the once pictured here and named after host Bob Holness’ catchphrase – P Please Bob.

And besides being a slice of 80s nostalgia, it’s also a really cool way of storing your CDs. Take your pick from three wood veneer finishes (or pick a few of each), then match up the hexagonal shapes according to the size of your wall.

It costs £60 for three units, with each one after selling for £18.
