Only last week we showed you the Nelson print by Blue Ant Studio, a print inspired by George Nelson's Spike clock. Now we've spotted this high-street take on the classic design, the Spike sticker clock from Next.
Aside from the name, they've clearly taken influence from the radiating spokes of the classic design. However, here the colourful spokes are made of plastic and are self-adhesive so they can be fixed where ever you'd like.
Brightly coloured and a bargain too, at £20.

Sometimes simple is often the most stylish – as is the case with the Frandsen 1960s Ball pendant light.
Designed in Denmark back in 1969 and remaining pretty much timeless ever since the Frandsen Ball is pretty much what it says – a ball-shaped metal pendant with 2m of transparent cord for a 'floating' effect.
You can choose from a range of colours including limited editions and a chrome finish, all of which retail for around the same price – £60. Not bad for a design classic.
As part of their 70th birthday celebrations, Puffin are publishing limited editions of six classic children’s books designed by some big names in art, design and architecture.
Of most interest to us here are Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens designed by Peter Blake and Little Women by Louisa May Alcott designed by Orla Kiely. The rest of the series are: James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl designed by sculptor Antony Gormley;The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett designed by Charlie and Lola author and illustrator, Lauren Child; Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson designed by architect and sculptor Frank Gehry; and Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne designed by architect David Adjaye.
The books will be published on 2nd September, priced £100 each and limited to just 1000 copies of each. You can view the covers online at Puffin now, but you won’t be able to order them before 2nd September.
It was only last week we showed you the Stuart Kolakovic prints available at Urban Outfitters. You can get more of his distinctive style for your home with his owl rug.
It's a charming design, hand-made, and captures his 70s aesthetic perfectly. At only 45cm square, it could easily be displayed on a wall as well as being used on the floor. However, if you like the rug, you'd better snap it up quickly – it's part of an edition of just five.
It costs a very reasonable £19.99

It's been a while since we featured Blue Ant Studio on this site. They're the design studio behind pieces like the Alphabet of Modern Classics and they've turned their attention to another modern design classic with this Nelson print.
Unsurprisingly the Nelson title refers to George Nelson and the print features a simplified version of his Spike Clock. Measuring just over 43cm high, the distinctive outline of the clock is played off against the bold colour of the print and gives a striking result. And, of course, it's more affordable than the real thing.
The print costs $50 for international orders including shipping.

Some time ago, we featured the original Giant Anglepoise lamp back in 2007, selling for an equally hefty £1,660. we've also seen something similar from B&Q with the Tecton lamp, for a more affordable £79. Now there's something shiny from Marks and Spencer in a similar vein – the Oversized Task Floor Lamp.
It's actually got a more modernist feel, both in construction and with that nickel plated steel finish, with the lamp also offering up a round base, adustable stand and a height of around 166cm, which is just short of 6ft tall.
Check out more images on the M&S site, with the price at £125.
