Branex iTam Tam iPod/iPhone stool and speaker gets a colour makeover

Posted on | Leave a comment

Itamtam

What do you get if you cross a classic 60s plastic stool and a modern-day must-have gadget? You get the Branex iTam Tam, which is back for this season oin several glossy shades.

We first featured it in early 2008, when it was available only with a monochrome finish, but now this hi-tech version of Henry Massonet's classic 1968 stool is available in seven colourful shades, perfect for matching up with your interior decor.

If you missed it first time around, the iTam Tam is still a small plastic stool, but now sports 70w (2x 35w) of stereo audio, a docking station for all iPods and iPhones, a jack for other types of audio and remote control to skip through your music. One of the quirkiest and coolest audio units out there, you can pick one up for £343.

Lca1

Recently, Lomo discounted its classic LC-A camera (the one that started the whole Lomo thing off) for a day to celebrate 25 years since if first left the Russian factory. Now the company has gone one step further with a very special version in limited numbers, the Lomo LC-A+ Anniversary Edition camera.

Sure to be sought after by Lomo collectors, this is a slight update to the original 1984 camera, packing an original Russian Minitar 1 lens for vivid, wide angle images and auto exposure for great snaps in all light. But as this is a limited edition, you also get a new textured skin, an anniversary badge on the body and a cool, commemorative wooden box, stamped with the 25th Anniversary logo.

Vestal

It's a modern timepiece, but slap the Vestal Datamat calculator watch on your wrist and it will look every bit like a relic from the 1980s.

Retro colours schemes and some nice retro detailing – even the font used is reminiscent of the A Team! Outside of that you'll find an LCD display with 16-button keypad for doing your maths basics, all houses on a polyurethane band.

Watchismo is selling them in three colour options, yours for $59, which is around £35.
