You might look like a walking sandwich board, but there’s no denying the 70s vibe you’ll get from this Pepsi travel bag.
The logo is printed onto the white bag in dark blue and red, with a large main pocket and smaller side pocket, plus an adjustable strap.
You can pick one up for £25.
As we have mentioned before, the Tam Tam stool by Henry Massonet is a design classic, dating back to 1968 and still in production – for around the £10 mark too. But as the Tam Tam is 40 years old, it has had a serious upgrade – becoming an audio system and getting a new name – the iTam Tam.
It’s the work of Eric Berthès for original manufacturers Branex Design, offering a slot for your iPod and iPhone, plus a connector for other MP3 players. Just hook up and play your tunes through the 2x 25w speakers, supported by a digital amplifier and with control from a remote control.
It should be available from April in a colour choice of black and white, selling for around £285.

An interesting twist on the classic Baracuta is this PF Flyers Poplin Harrington jacket.
Available in red and blue, it’s made of a soft cotton poplin fabric with a zip front, elasticated hem, button cuff and handwarmer pockets, with a more traditional collar rather than the usual Harrington two-button.
You can pick one up online, priced at £94.99.

Looking for a pair of cool retro shades for the summer? Well, these Cat-Eye sunglasses might just fit the bill.
They’re the work of American actress Chloe Sevigny, who has worked with vintage-inspired eyewear maker Linda Farrow to produce these shades with an undeniably 50s slant.
The sunglasses were created for New York concept store Opening Ceremony, but you can pick up a pair from Colette online, priced at 275 Euros.
Another new print from the Keep Calm Gallery – the Walls Have Ears by Damask.
Not just a nostalgic message, Walls Have Ears is a hand-pulled screenprint on vintage 1930s Swedish wallpaper. And as it is original paper, that makes each one unique.
Sized at 18 x 14 inches and in a run of just 38, you can pick one up for £28.
I’m always amazed by the contemporary looks of designs from the modernist era – and this Brno armchair by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe is a typical example.
Originally designed back in 1930 and now available again via Knoll, its beauty is in its simplicity. A frame made from flat polished chrome, with no visible connections between the seat and frame, as well as that seat, which is made from hardwood and cushioned with high density foam. There’s also Dymetrol seat suspension to boost comfort.
If you have serious cash, but a few for cool dining chairs. If you’ve just had a minor windfall, it would make a great office chair or armchair. Whatever you use it for, it retails for £1,386.
