Anthony Peto Deerstalker hats

Posted on | Leave a comment

Deerstalker

Bizarrely, I remember this style of headwear being popular with casuals for a short time in the 80s, but I suspect the Anthony Peto Deerstalker hats will probably appeal to the country squire in all of us today.

Faithful to the classic 'Sherlock Holmes' Deerstalker, but with a modern twist, the Anthony Peto version is made of wool in a choice of black, blue or the grey above, complete with adjustable earflaps, peak and cotton inner lining.

Four sizes to choose from, all priced at £65 at Oki-Ni. The same retailer also has some colourful, high-end pork pie hats from that same designer too.

Down The Rabbit Hole giant op art wall decal

Rabbit

Want to turn your pad into a 60s psychedelic nightmare? You need to invest in this Down The Rabbit Hole giant wall decal.

If any of your friends suffer from vertigo or are easy freaked out, you perhaps need to think twice before you buy because this is huge and very imposing. Sized at 12ft x 10ft, it's like having a tunnel into a Bridget Riley painting – which could be either a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your mental state I suspect.

This custom-made vinyl creation isn't cheap at $850, but if you want impact, this has it and much, much more.

Lomo LC-A+ No Nukes limited edition camera

Posted on | 1 Comment

Nonukes

What is it with Lomo and limited editions? Last year we seemed to have a Diana camera every week, this year it's the Lomo LC- A+, presumably because it's the camera's 25th anniversary. So for all you collectors out there, here's another – the Lomo LC-A+ No Nukes limited edition camera.

Designed by the Lomography Embassy in South Korea as a protest against the proliferation of nuclear weapons, it's the same classic LC A+ film camera with Minitar 1 lens, multi-exposure switch and multiple accessory options, but this time there's also a specially-designed leather body and No Nukes commemorative wooden box.

Not many around (500 to be specific), so if you want one, get in quick. Prices obviously vary depending on the package you go for, but the starter is yours for £257.95.

eBay watch: 1970s Gae Aulenti Gaetano work table

Posted on | Leave a comment

Gaetano

Well over 30 years old and still looking cutting edge – the Gaetano work table by Gae Aulenti is likely to stay that way for some years to come.

An example of this 1971 design is on eBay right now, currently at a very reasonable £175 with four days left (as I write). It's worth checking out the close-up shots on the eBay site for the detail on this, looking like an upmarket workbench, it has that glass top, with two metal plinths in black with red detailing supporting each side and what look like bike handle bars supporting the glass.

Great for everyday use, but especially cool as a quirky office desk, it's certainly a nice thing to own.

Stussy Deluxe x Dr Martens desert boots

Stuss_dm

We featured the Dr Martens Manton desert boots recently, but we've just encountered another variation on the theme – the Stussy Deluxe x Dr Martens desert boots.

It's a 'fun' take on the classic desert boot, available in three shades of suede (brown, grey and black), all with a white outer sole, contrast laces, mid-sole and tab.

They land in Japan on August 22nd, with Europe to follow. No word on price, but we'll guess 'premium'.

Vitsoe Post-War plastics exhibition poster by NB: Studio

Posted on | Leave a comment

Postwar

The actual show might have passed, but this incredibly eye-catching poster for Post-War plastics: Dieter Rams’s innovations in design, 1956 to 1974 is still available – and doesn't cost a fortune.

The poster is the work of NB: Studio and is being offered in limited numbers online, but once they're gone, they're gone. Design fans might apprecate that the poster uses an original photograph from the launch of Vitsoe’s Dieter Rams-designed 601 chair. The rest of you will probably just appreciate the overall stylish looks.

Whatever you like about it, the poster can be yours for just £15.
