Some great design has come out of Brazil over the years – and right up there is this M3 sofa.
It was designed by Miguel Forte & Jacob Ruchti back in the 1950s, but its wood frame and fabric upholstery still look incredibly stylish and contemporary today. Indeed, you can still buy it today, courtesy of UK-based Brazilia Interiors, which has reissued the M3 and some size variations for today’s market.
Obviously that style comes at a price – it retails for £3250, but that does buy you a genuine classic.
Pick up a retrospective novel about the 1960s and you could get a strong character-driven piece of fiction in the Jake Arnott mould or the other extreme – the literary equivalent of Heartbeat. Thankfully for us, Move On Up by Nick Coventon is very much the former.
I can’t say I’m a great believer in pets as accessories. Indeed, if our dog was placed in a bag, he would probably eat his way out. But if you like the idea of parading around with your pampered pooch, this Rocket Bowl retro pet carrier will certainly look the part.
Offices are dull places – and any opportunity to have some fun during the ‘9 to 5’ shift has to be taken. And that certainly includes this Mario Golf game for your desk.
If one gadget defines an era, it’s the teasmade. Beloved of our parents and grandparents, the teasmade was an essential before the days of designer coffees and busy lifestyles. And now it’s back as the Micromark Teaexpress.
