Simboli Design 1960s Zodiac posters

Posted on | Leave a comment

Simboli

Back in 1969, Simboli Design was commissioned to create a 'graphically strong and colourful' range of posters representing the signs on the Zodiac. And 40 years later, you can buy them once more.

The posters were unearthed once again by Paul Smith and used to promote a range of clothing in the recent past – but the daughter of the original designers (Joe and Gerry Simboli) still has some original stock and is selling the last of these stylish posters online, all signed by the designers to give them extra appeal.

Take your pick from all of the Zodiac signs (except Gemini), all very limited, all original and all featuring bold colours and distinctly psychedelic-style 60s designs that scream the era. Sized at 24 x 36 inches, you can buy then online via Etsy for $175 (around £125) each.

Jonathan Adler mid-century Philippe armchair

Philippe

A new design from Jonathan Adler – this super-stylish Philippe armchair.

Very much in the mid-century style, the chair offers a variety of finishes, with the one shown mixing linen and leather as a two-tone design, coupled with a tall back and chunky arms, as well as blackened iron legs.

You can order one online in the US for $1,495 (just over £1,000). You can order for delivery outside the US – but don't expect delivery to be cheap.

Ch25

Most conservatory furniture tends to be cheap and made of whicker – that's not the case with the the Hans Wegner CH 25 armchair.

Whether you use it in our glass extension or in your living room, it's still a stylish item. Designed in 1949 and produced by Carl Hansen, the chair has a papercord seat and back, attached to an oak frame with a light or dark finish. And there's that distinctive shape, with the steep incline and broad armrests, perfect for kicking back into.

Prices start at around £1,590.

Mr_t

Loving these Mr T hand doodled mugs by Tee and Toast.

Totally unofficial, but all the better for it, the mugs are all one-of-a-kind (individually drawn especially for you) and feature the Mr T cartoon and a choice of 'I pity the fool that don’t drink tea' or 'make me some damn tea fool!' for the phrase.

No matter which you go for, the price is the same – £9.74.

Adidas Campus Mark Gonzales edition

Posted on | 1 Comment

Campus

You can pick up a pair of Adidas Campus just about anywhere – but you'll have to look hard to find the Adidas Campus Mark Gonzales edition.

This limited version of the early 80s classic shifts the emphasis away from basketball and onto skateboarding – Gonzales being both a street skateboarder and artist. Indeed, the trainers are decorated in his artwork, as well as featuring Gonzales imagery on the tongue, a signature on the heel and a bright orange sole.

You can pick up a pair at Colette online, priced around £68.
