Flux chair

Flux
This summer say goodbye to the dull white plastic furniture that's been littering your garden for years and say hello to the Flux chair.

The Bauhaus-esque piece is not only waterproof and 100% recyclable but folds completely flat and has a handle for easy transportation. The chair wouldn't look out of place alongside any original modernist designs; perfect for any retro living or dining room, garden or to take to the beach, the Flux is a modern classic in the making. Available in 6 colours.

£109 from Oliver Bonas. For more details visit the website.

If you’ve ever been tempted by the retro sweets we’ve featured here, perhaps you would also be interested in these vintage-style Candystore Glass Jars

Each jar measures 18cm high by 11cm wide with a volume of 1 litre and they are sold in sets of three. Of course, most of us don’t hoard sweets, so a more practical use might be for storing tea, coffee and sugar.

They cost just £10 from Colloco.

Kartell Pop Armchair and Sofa

Posted on | Leave a comment

1758 
The Kartell Pop Sofa consists of two armchairs that can easily be detached from and reattached one another, should you wish to change your seating configuration.

This is what the manufacturer describes as “infinitely repeatable”, a quality that is probably most useful if this furniture is used in a business location. What caught my eye about the Pop Sofa was not this flexibility, but its upholstery options, which include the 1970s style options of jeans, orange or mustard coverings. The two-seater sofa costs £1572 for most fabrics or £1763 in the jeans option, whilst a single armchair costs £894 or £928.

London Bus cushion cover by Christine Berrie

London-bus-3

Christine Berrie has already turned her talents to illustrating vintage radios and cameras, so it was perhaps only natural that she'd also feature another retro icon – the Routemaster – shown here on her London Bus cushion cover.

It's a simple, lovingly rendered design that's printed onto a cotton cushion cover that should go down well with people who fondly remember this method of transport. Grab a cushion pad and you could use the design to make your own commute to work that bit more comfortable and stylish.  

Prices start at 19.99 euros.

The phrase 'there's no place like home' could have been invented by looking at this Perched Birds tapestry throw.

The vintage-style throw is homely in a subtle way, and will bring back memories of wrapping yourself up in a throw on a cold day. It makes a great bed spread, and brings a vintage statement to your room, but also doubles as a handy picnic blanket.

You can only buy this one online from Urban Outfitters for £30.00.
