Aimee Wilder's love of a retro pattern is no secret: just take a look at her robot and cassette tape inspired wallpapers that we've previously featured. Her new Gameland wallpaper also looks to the past and is based on images of video games.
This Embroidered Felt Phone Home from Made In The Shade is about the closest you'll get to carrying a vintage dial phone around in your pocket.
In these days of digital and internet radios, this Red Retro Radio is old-fashioned in just being an FM radio as much as for its vintage shape.
It is being sold by Urban Outfitters who provide very little in the way of information about it, but a closer look at the packaging reveals it has hi fi sound and automatically scans for FM radio stations. It isn’t going to replace your existing radio equipment, but it could be good to take to the beach or on picnics.
Buy it from Urban Outfitters, priced £12.
This Mobile Evolution print by Kyle Bean is a simple but effective way to show how technology has changed over a relatively short period.
The Brighton based design has placed simplified models of the phones into a line, starting with the huge brick like forms of over 30 years ago and moving onto the more slimline devices of today.
If you like, snap it up now as it's a limited edition of 100.
The A4 sized print costs £22.

The follow up to the original Pure Mio, the Pure Evoke Mio Abacus Flower Edition by Orla Kiely throws in another of the retro-styled designs, plus a few new features to the digital radio itself.
Speaking about the new design, Kiely said: 'I chose the slate grey, Abacus Flower print for this radio as it contrasts well with the first radio and fits in with my passion for creating quality and functional down-to-earth designs that complement any home interior.'
