Not just a Lomo Diana camera, this is a limited edition – the Diana Glow.

So what’s new? Well, the image and name might give it away. Yes, this is a glow in the dark version, which will certainly turn heads in darkened bars and clubs. As will that original 1960s design and those slightly ‘out of focus’ images that the camera produces.

Other additions for the limited edition pack include the Diana+ flash, a ‘More True Tales & Short Stories’ Diana Vignettes hardcover book, colour gel filters, 12 and 16-shot format frames, a shutter lock, neck strap and a lens cap. You can pick one up for £80.

We’re being spoiled a bit by Brionvega right now – not content with bringing back the classic RR226 audio system, we now have the re-introduction of the equally-classic Brionvega RR227 radio.

Originally produced in 1965 by the design team of Zanuso and Sapper, a radio that looks good whether you use it horizontally or vertically – indeed it’s designed to be used both ways.

The new version does give a nod to the modern era with the addition of an SD card reader and USB connectivity, as well as a modern-day price tag. Although saying that, it’s not overpriced for a design classic – yours for around £123.

Remember the Scandyna Micropod space age speakers? Well, now they’ve become an audio system – the Scandyna Dock Pack.

It uses two slimmed-down Scandyna Micropod speakers, each able to knock out 15w of output, with a matching dock able to host a variety of iPods or other makes of MP3 player.

But there is a downside – you can have any colour you like, just as long as it’s pink. And that’s certain to put off more people than it appeals to. If you like pink, it sells for around £200.
