Lamponi introduces new range of Lambretta table lamps

Posted on 30th April 2010 | Leave a comment

You might have seen the Vespa lamps and a Lambretta lamp in the past, but now Lamponi has just finished a new set of handmade Lambretta table lamps.

Presumably following the same principle of the past, the lamps mix salvaged old parts with new pieces in the style of vintage Lambrettas to produce something eye-catching, but above all, unique as each item is craftsman made, right down to the polishing and painting.

One of the new lights is pictured above, the other over the page. A talking point for sure, but one that comes at a price – for all that time and effort, you'll be looking at anything from £800. Get in touch with the Italian designer for a definite price and turnaround time.

Sagaform ceramic fish platter

Posted on 29th April 2010 | Leave a comment

This ceramic fish platter from Sagaform references both its geographical and design heritage.

It's designed to bring a traditional Scandinavian platter of fish-based delicacies to your table while it also has a definite 1950s look, not dissimilar to Marianne Nilsson's Herring design dating from that decade and available from New House Textiles.

This platter is clearly intended for display as well as use, with a hole at the top enabling it to be hung up on the kitchen wall. Like Nilsson's design, it's also available on a jar – perfect for storing away your fishy delicacies.

The platter costs £19.95.

‘Old time’ car desk accessory by Troika

Posted on 29th April 201016th November 2017 | Leave a comment

Got the retro car bookends? Complete the look of a high-flying executive office with Troika’s old time car desk accessory.

It’s described as ‘old time’ and I’m afraid I’m also no closer than that to recognising the model of car this might have been based on. However, it’s definitely got a glamorous retro look, suitable for adorning (presumably walnut) writing desks. It’s also vaguely useful too – as it’s magnetic you can use it for storing up paper clips or having other office based fun with metallic items.

It’s perfectly priced for a gift at £25.

Modernist-style London table lamp by Original BTC

Posted on 29th April 2010 | Leave a comment

We're big fans of Original BTC and here's a new design from the company – the London table lamp.

It obviously takes modernist inspiration, as well as being not unlike the Elio Martinelli Serpente table lamp from the mid-60s. Either way, it's a stylish piece, designed by Charles Bowles and with a spun aluminium semi-sphere shade, solid chromed base and matching cotton braided flex.

John Lewis is the place to grab these, so keep your eye on there for this new arrival, priced around the £350 mark.

Midcentury-style Citadel 21 range by Nathan Furniture

Posted on 29th April 2010 | Leave a comment

I'll be honest, I've never heard of Nathan Furniture previously, but a tip-off via Twitter took me to its site and specifically, its midcentury-inspired Citadel 21 range.

The company has actually been around since 1916, producing furniture of 'quality and value', which presumably means it isn't the cheapest, but it is built to last. This particular range seems to take inspiration from Scandinavian designs of the 50s and 60s, taking in sideboards, coffee tables, chairs, dining tables, cabinets and shelving, all made of teak and all with stylish curves and angles.

You can see some of it above, or check out over the page to see the round extended dining table. The company's own website doesn't sell it directly, but you can pick it up via the Online Furniture Store. Prices for sideboards hover round the £1,000 mark, with other prices varying but starting from £192.

Bobo Kids – midcentury-inspired furniture for children

Posted on 28th April 2010 | Leave a comment

When it comes to design, you can never start them too young. And with Bobo Kids around, you can give your offspring some retro style from more or less day one.

It offers vintage-style furniture inspired by the 40s and 50s, including a cot on wheels, changing table, wardrobes, dressers, bookcases, side tables, even a bed, as you can see above. There's also an image of one of the desks and a side table over the page.

Every item is hand-painted and is made to order, with prices obviously varying depending on your choice of item. But to give you a rough guide, the bed retails for £795, the side/night table £295 and the desk is yours for £795.
