Fila Siro 80s-style knitted crewneck sweater

Posted on | 1 Comment

Fila_siro

No-one seems to be able to do 'old school' quite like Fila, perhaps because few have an archive as substantial as Filas. The Fila Siro knitted crewneck sweater is pretty typical of the current range.

Indeed, Fila gear is likely to even more prominent in the coming weeks, featuring heavily in Nick Love's The Firm, a loose remake of Alan Clarke's 1989 Brit flick focusing on football casuals, albeit a few years earlier in '84.

But back to the sweater (which does feature in the film), it's a premium knit with colour block detailing and the Fila F logo no the chest. Yours for £65.

Graham & Brown 70s-style Boheme wallpaper

Posted on | Leave a comment

Boheme

Nothing quite screams the 1970s like a bold repetitive design – like the one you'll find on the Graham & Brown Boheme wallpaper range.

Yes, unmistakably of the day, the Boheme range is available in three colour options (including the green here), all with that quirky hexagonal design and a slight metallic finish.

Possibly not the kind of thing you would fill a room with in the modern era, but if you want a feature wall to really stand out, this is available for £30 per roll.

Ikimono 110 miniature film camera

Posted on | 1 Comment

Ikimono1

We love film cameras and there are plenty on the market to choose from – but none quite so small as the Ikimono 110 camera.

It's a retro-style camera that fits on your keyring and in your pocket – if you want to get an idea of just how small, check out the image over the page of a camera resting in the palm of someone's hand. Of course, small might be beautiful and practical, but it does mean a lack of some features you might expect – a flash for instance. But if you're taking snaps outdoors, just slap in some 110 film and you should be fine.

Sold 'blind boxed' (so you don't know what colour you might get), the cameras sell for a very reasonable £16.

eBay watch: Pair of Rodolfo Bonetto-designed Melaina easy chairs

Posted on | Leave a comment

Melaina

We've actually covered the reissue of this design before, but on right ebay right now is a pair of Rodolfo Bonetto Melaina easy chairs from the original 1970s issue, complete with a very 1970s colour scheme.

The original design by Bonetto was for Driade, with the chairs packing that distinctly 'Space 1999' look of the era, made of fibreglass and theoretically good for indoor use or out – although judging by the minor damage to these pieces, it might be wise to keep them away from the elements.

The reissues cost over £800 each, whereas these two chairs are £500 or 'best offer' for the pair. If you want more than two, the seller claims to have 'several' in stock, should you have a large family or social circle.
