Peter Karpf 1960s Trepas tealight holder set

Karpf

Winter and the cold weather often gets us reaching for the tea lights – and there are few better ways of using them than with the Peter Karpf Trepas tealight holders.

Designed in 1966 and now available once more as part of the Architect Made series, the basic set includes 2x copper, 2x brass and 2x stainless steel holders, all with a special coating so that the solid metals never change colour through oxidation or frequent handling.

And of course, you can use then individually or you can stack up top create our own designs, with the option to keep adding to your shiny reflective design – budget permitting. Just under £58 gets you a set of six.

Violent Elegance’s La Mela-inspired t-shirt

Redappletshirt

We featured La Mela (The Apple) a while back. Designed by Enzo Mari in 1963, its influence continues to be seen everywhere, not least in these t-shirts from Violent Elegance

The t-shirts feature the same graphic depiction of the apple, right down to the black stalk. The simplicity of the design works well printed onto the white cotton American Apparel t-shirts they've used. Those who are less purist may be interested to know the design is also available with a green apple (different to Mari's original red design). 

The t-shirts cost £26.95.
