Only one bid as yet, making this Braun PS 2 record turntable by Dieter Rams something of a steal.
Designed by Rams back in 1963, it's a classic piece of modernist-inspired Braun (and Rams) design for vinyl playback at 16, 33 and 45 speeds. it's described as being in 'full working order' and in 'excellent overall condition'. Age has played a part, so check the full details and images before you bid.
But it is worth bidding if you like this kind of thing – right now it's only £1.
Yesterday we featured an art deco house that was pretty much still in its original state. Today, we have the flipside – this 1930s art deco house in Porth, Cornwall.
Details on its history are scarce, but was almost certainly the seaside retreat of someone with plenty of spare cash all those years ago, renovated (possibly over-renovated) with an interior that's straight out of the modern era.
Adidas has produced yet another limited edition Gazelle reissue, this time the Adidas Gazelle OG in what's described as a chrome and white suede.
It's a faithful reissue to the 1968 trainer, a winner on the sports field and the terrace for the best part of 40 years. The latest reissue mixes a suede upper with leather detailing, throwing in a gum sole unit, gold branding and of course, the knowledge that this is offered in very limited numbers.
Available for pre-order now, price is £65. Another image over the page.
Some designs simply scream the era – like this Luigi Colani hanging lamp for example.
An example of bold 60s space age design, it's a vision in yellow and described by the seller as 'pretty rare' as well as 'very good' in terms of condition.
What else is there to say? You'll know by now if you love or loathe it. If you're one of the former, right now it's selling for just over £10.
We have featured Pete McKee many times in the past for his art, but you might not know that he also has a gallery in Sheffield called A Month of Sundays. It's where you'll find a new, multi-artist exhibition going by the name of Cover Version.
Several figures from the music, art and graphic design worlds have already signed up to participate, everyone from Richard Hawley and Marc Riley through to designer Sir Paul Smith and of course, McKee himself creating their own take on classic album sleeves. In case you're wondering, the image above is from the exhibition, Serge Gainsbourg's Melody by Lord Dunsby.
You'll find it at A Month of Sundays, 365 Sharrow Vale Road, Sheffield, S11 8ZG from Friday September 11th through to 14th October 2010.
