Lomo LC-A+ No Nukes limited edition camera

Nonukes

What is it with Lomo and limited editions? Last year we seemed to have a Diana camera every week, this year it's the Lomo LC- A+, presumably because it's the camera's 25th anniversary. So for all you collectors out there, here's another – the Lomo LC-A+ No Nukes limited edition camera.

Designed by the Lomography Embassy in South Korea as a protest against the proliferation of nuclear weapons, it's the same classic LC A+ film camera with Minitar 1 lens, multi-exposure switch and multiple accessory options, but this time there's also a specially-designed leather body and No Nukes commemorative wooden box.

Not many around (500 to be specific), so if you want one, get in quick. Prices obviously vary depending on the package you go for, but the starter is yours for £257.95.

Tivoli Audio Model One Radio

Model_one_classic_walnut_m_800

Tivoli Audio has produced some great wooden audio equipment, and we have featured some of its more advanced (and expensive) products here in the past, but if you just want an old-fashioned radio, then the Model One offers unbeatable style.

Housed in a walnut cabinet, this is a traditional FM/AM radio, but it is still compatible with ipods and other players, which can be plugged into the system.

It is available to buy from the Scandinavian Design Center, priced just over 186 Euros.

USB retro wooden speaker and sound system

Wood

A mix of the old and the new with the USB retro wooden speaker and sound system.

The old is obvious, with a design that wouldn't look out of place in the 1970s. That's unless you look close up, with this portable audio system packing slots for SDHC, SD, MMC and USB memory drive playback, as well as hosting a rechargeable battery and coming complete with a remote control.

The 6W of audio output isn't exactly wall-shaking, but with a price of $29 (around £17), it's not likely to shake your finances either.

Branex iTam Tam iPod/iPhone stool and speaker gets a colour makeover

Itamtam

What do you get if you cross a classic 60s plastic stool and a modern-day must-have gadget? You get the Branex iTam Tam, which is back for this season oin several glossy shades.

We first featured it in early 2008, when it was available only with a monochrome finish, but now this hi-tech version of Henry Massonet's classic 1968 stool is available in seven colourful shades, perfect for matching up with your interior decor.

If you missed it first time around, the iTam Tam is still a small plastic stool, but now sports 70w (2x 35w) of stereo audio, a docking station for all iPods and iPhones, a jack for other types of audio and remote control to skip through your music. One of the quirkiest and coolest audio units out there, you can pick one up for £343.

Ghetto Blaster key chain and iPod speaker

Ghetto1

It might look like an unassuming little novelty, but the Ghetto Blaster key chain is actually a useful but of portable audio.

Yes, most of the time, this particular 80s-style 'briefcase' just looks like an interesting chunky key chain, but wire it up to an iPod (and presumably other MP3 players) via the headphone socket and it can 'blast' out your tunes in its own distinctive way.

See over the page for an image of it connected to an iPod. If you want one, it;s new in at Urban Outfitters, priced at £16.

Nintendo NES controller card holder

NES card holder

Here's one for retro gaming geeks. It's another item in the huge range of Nintendo inspired goods (including pillow cases and wallets) that are available: a Nintendo NES controller card holder with all the buttons of the original controller. It also has two compartments, one for your business cards and the other for the cards you collect. However, if you want to be taken seriously at work, it's arguable how much pulling a card out of this thing will help. 

Perhaps unsurprisingly this marriage of gaming and business has come out of Japan. It's not on sale until October, but is available to pre-order for 21.46 Euros.
