GJ chair by Grete Jalk back in production

GJ chair teak
Something of a lost 1960s design has now been put back into production: the GJ chair was designed by Grete Jalk in 1963 but originally only 300 examples were produced due to its complex construction. 

That production challenge has been taken on by Lange production who are using the same factory and tools to produce this reissue of the moulded plywood chair that were used for the original. They're also reproducing a set of nesting table by the Danish designer. 

As you might have guessed, the price tag attached to the design is hefty. But the slightly good news is that it's been reduced in the sale from £2350 to £1997.50.

Black Cabs cushion by Lizzie Allen

Lizzie allen cushion
We’ve written about Lizzie Allen‘s beautiful wallpapers many times before. For a more affordable way to buy a piece of her style, you may be interested in this Black Cabs cushion.

Like her wallpaper, the cushion textile is decorated with a 1950s-style illustration of a traditional British scene. In this case we are taken to the streets of a rainy London and, as well as the black cab of the title, there’s a red number 8 Routemaster going by.

Made from 100% cotton, though it’s more affordable than her wallpaper it’s still not cheap at £79.
