Regular readers will know we are big fans of the work of Sir Peter Blake, so no surprise to see this Sir Peter Blake Pop limited edition t-shirt featured.
It’s also great value and a superb design – typical Blake with the bold target and star motifs amongst other imagery, combining to form the word ‘Pop’ on a grey t-shirt background.
Sold with a certificate and in a gift box in just about every size imaginable, it retails for £29.
Some time ago, we dug up a 1970s Guzzini Ball picnic set on eBay. But if you want to walk into a store and buy a new one, you now can with the Guzzini Pic Boll.
It’s a slight update of that 70s classic, keeping that same principle of everything plastic in a plastic ball, but now with a bit more colour and a slightly more contemporary feel. For your money you get 2x containers, 1x tray, 6x flat plates, 6x deep plates, 6x fruit plates and 6x beakers – all dishwasher safe.
Summer is rapidly approaching, so get your orders in now – it’s priced around £50.
Birmingham’s Snap Galleries is to host the first UK exhibition of Bob Dylan photographs by legendary US photographer Barry Feinstein, taken during May 1966 on the British leg of his world tour.
Barry Feinstein was the official photographer on that ’66 tour, capturing some iconic images, including the famous portrait of Dylan surrounded by street kids in a Liverpool doorway and Dylan waiting at the Aust Ferry terminal, during his trip from Bristol to Cardiff – which appeared on the cover of Martin Scorcese’s No Direction Home.
The exhibition coincides with the publication by Omnibus Press of Barry Feinstein’s new 160 page hardcover book of Dylan photographs, ‘Real Moments’ – which is sure to be available for the duration of the exhibition, which runs from 3rd May to 28th June 2008.
Last week we featured the Clifford Richards Robot mugs, but we have only just realised that the 60s pop artist has also produced limited edition Robot prints.
Nine prints are available, with two shown above. And all of the Giclée prints are signed by the Clifford Richards.
Sized at 55cm x 53cm, they retail for around £125 each.
If business is brisk in your chosen profession, you could treat yourself to one of the most stylish desk ever made – the Cavour writing desk by Carlo Mollino.
Hard to believe this dates back to 1949 – and the fact that it is still in production by Zanotta tells you just about everything you need to know about its long-lasting appeal. Available in either bleached or stained oak, the Cavour is topped with 12mm thick plate glass and features an integrated compartment and drawers – both made from the same oak, but with lacquered detailing.
Espacio has it discounted right now – but even with that, the Cavour will set you back around £4,400.

We love the designs of Shinzi Katoh – slightly retro, slightly child-like, but very eye-catching and feel good illustrations – typified by this Shinzi Katoh Train Rolling Down Calm Hill tote bag.
On the front of the large tote is said train heading down the brightly-coloured hill, with a reverse design of small bright green flowers. If this one doesn’t take you, there’s also other tote of different shapes and designs, along with coffee cups, water bottles and numerous other bits and pieces.
The tote bag retails for £27.
