Retro TV mouse mat from Urban Outfitters

Retro TV mousemat

More retro kitsch courtesy of Urban Outfitters and this retro TV mouse mat. 

Printed with an image of an old telly, complete with dials and mock-wood encasing, it helps you remember what we used to spend our lives looking at before computer screens and the onset of the digital age. It certainly brings back some fond memories for me of thumping the telly, desperately trying to get a picture. 

This slice of nostalgia costs £6

Darling Clementine Woodland card range

Darling Clemintine woodland

Darling Clementine have previously been celebrated on this site for their 1970s designs. So it's hardly a surprise that their new Woodland card range references that Seventies trend currently enjoying a revival in fashion, 70s folk. 

The cards are sold in sets of eight different designs. They feature all the motifs you'd expect like birds, flowers and leaves. The use of pinks, oranges and black, rather than the blues and greens you might expect, gives a contemporary edge to their look.

A set of the cards costs $35. 

Buy them from Etsy

Mondrian-inspired Mondri mug by Frank Kerdil

Mondri

Piet Mondrian has always inspired plenty of designers but there seems to be a rush of products influence by his art recently, from the Mondrian table range to the Piet tables. Add to that list the Mondri mug by Frank Kerdil. 

Like the vase Kerdil designed with the same name, he's used the strong lines and colour associated with the artist's work on a new product. In this case it's a sturdy looking, handle-less mug, complete with a silicon ring for adding practicality. It's one of several mugs by Kerdil new in at Panik Design, all of which have a strong graphic look that Mondrian would surely also have approved of. 

The mugs are also a cheaper way to buy into the look than many of the other options, costing only £10.
