Ingo Maurer Campbells Soup Can ceiling light

Posted on | Leave a comment

Campbells_light
You might have some pop art hanging on your living room wall, but I’m guessing you don’t have any hanging from the ceiling. That could change if you pick up the Canned Light by Ingo Maurer.

Using that iconic soup image, Christoph Matthias and Hagen Sczech have created a light from tin, aluminium and stainless steel, able to hold a 60w bulb and with enough cord to hang from the highest ceiling. It also comes in a rather cool Campbells-themed box.

If you want one, you can pick one up online from Icone, priced at £143.

Secticon
Another example of good design being timeless – the Angelo Mangiarotti Maritime Secticon watch.

Made in Switzerland by Pierre Junod and authorised by Angelo Mangiarotti, the watch was first introduced in 1956, with the simple design now augmented by scratchproof sapphire crystal, a stainless steel case and back and a leather strap with the Pierre Junod name embedded on the back.

Available in black or white, the watch retails online for $450, which is around £225.

If you’re on the look out for novelty condiments, but want something slightly more adult than the recently-featured Lego shakers, you might like these rocket-shaped salt and pepper shakers from Ototo.

Ok, they’re not that much more grown up, but shaped like a cartoon rocket and with NASA-style logos, these shakers are sure to attract attention at your next dinner party.

Sadly, we don’t know the price of them, with Monkey Business offering them mail order. But if you drop then a line and ask nicely, I’m sure they’ll sell you a set.

Fred Perry all black bowling shoes

I’m very much a ‘bowling shoes are for bowling’ man, but I know there’s a good few people out there who like the idea of wearing them out and about. And if that’s you, these Fred Perry all black bowling shoes look the best of what’s on the retail market.

Made by Swear for Fred Perry, the shoes are in black leather with contrasting piping and laces, with rubber botton and subtle laurel logo.

The one downside is the price – a rather hefty £90.

Sputnik floor lamp

If your ceiling isn’t quite high enough to carry off a standard Sputnik light fitting, you could opt instead for this Sputnik floor lamp.

Very much in keeping with the original satellite-inspired light fitting, the floor-based lamp has 24 arms, with bulbs for all of them thankfully included. And it’s tall enough to get noticed too – 173cm – which is just short of 6ft.

Available online, you can pick up one of these for £255.

If you can’t face leaving the house without your beloved pet, how about going for a useful substitute – a Poochie Bag from Fuzzy Nation.

Yes, as the name suggests, these are dog-shaped bags, with different breeds on offer, including the pug and the dachshund featured here. And there’s a choice of cloth, including vintage tweed, retro paisley or something a bit more plain and understated, as well as a removable leather strap and plenty of room for your daytime essentials. But best of all, there’s no poop to scoop.

If you want one, you can pick one up from Fuzzy Nation, priced at £39.
