Another week, another great cotton bag. This time the design comes courtesy of New Leaves Studio and their London bag.
The capital's icons have been reduced to simple geometric form, printed in one bright colour. Everything is there: from the phone box to the BT Tower, cups of tea to Big Ben, making it either a proud statement for residents of the city and a great souvenir for everyone else, including the the team behind the design, Mike Lemanski and Sarah Mather, who are based in Huddersfield. Take a look also at their London print, a colourful Pop look at the city.
The bag costs £7.

Back in 2007, we featured the Bertoia Diamond armchair, a design classic from 1952 that's still in production via Knoll, retailing for the best part of £1,000. Alternatively, you can go to Dwell and buy the Wire Chair.
Let's be kind and say that the Wire Chair is inspired by the midcentury classic. I'm sure there's a few subtle differences to the designs, but you'll have to look very close to find them.
The Dwell version mixes black lacquered wire with white faux leather for the seating and involves a touch of self-assembly. But it does come at a hugely-reduced price, £149 to be precise. It's available to order now, with stock arriving in February.
Margo Selby and People Will Always Need Plates have collaborated on two new textile designs for the London Transport Museum, including the bus blind fabric pictured.
The pattern is based around iconic bus routes and destinations, echoing the style of classic bus blinds. In a silver and black colourway, it is available on the same furniture as their moquette range. This textile isn't moquette though, instead being made of a cotton and viscose mix.
It's not the first time the designers have worked together – you may remember their Trellick Tower cushion, a design that's echoed in their second design which is based around closing tube doors.
Prices start at £39.99 for getting the fabric on a cushion.

The F444 Sadle Chair by Pierre Paulin dates back to 1963, but is now back in production by Artifort.
The original became a collector’s item and icon representing innovations in 1960s design, but now, for a price, you can own one without scouring the vintage market. The chair consists of a stainless steel frame with a seat made from a choice of black or natural colour leather.
It is available to buy from Dot Maison, priced £1,736.
