Posted on | Leave a comment

Hair of the dog
Retro favourite Mitch O'Connell is a multi-talented guy – artist & designer, tattooist and now designer of ceramics. 

Purveyors of fine tiki paraphernalia Munktiki have released a limited run of this Hair of the Dog tiki mug. Each poor hungover dog has an ice pack hat which you can put your straw through and will keep your revival remedy for the morning after the night before nicely chilled. Standing at an impressive 9 inches tall, it makes for a suitably kitsch adornment in any 50s den.

The Hair of the Dog tiki mug is a limited edition of 100 and is $60 from the Munktiki webstore.

Tongue Chair

Posted on | 1 Comment

Tonguechair 
Pierre Paulin created a chair by the same name back in the Sixties, but this Tongue Chair takes its inspiration from Seventies chair designs.

It doesn’t look quite so immediately like its namesake as the Paulin chair either – although perhaps that might be a good thing. It is upholstered in leather, which is available in a range of colours, including dark brown and olive which would add to the 1970s look or cherry red, to play upon the tongue design.

The tongue chair is made to order and costs just under £3,600 from Modenza.

Harlequin Pod bed linen

Harlequin pod

There's a definite 50s influence at work on the Harlequin Pod bed linen collection.

It's a bold and colourful design that seems to have been filtered through both Orla Kiely's stem design and the Sanderson Dandelion Clocks for inspiration. A plant like form in aubergine, lime green and gray works runs up the duvet cover and pillows. That's coupled with a stripe design on the reverse of the duvet to make the design really stand out. 

Pillowcases are priced from £17 upwards, while the duvets start at £55 for a single duvet. 

Buy them from House of Fraser

The collection includes wardrobes, chests of drawers of various sizes, sideboards and TV cabinets, all of which have been created from two sections of curved multi-ply in walnut or matt white. The fronts and backs are available in white or black lacquer or with the walnut option a glossy taupe finish, which looks particularly midcentury.

Obsessive fans of Barbara Hulanicki’s work might be interested to know that as well as the wallpaper we’ve mentioned in the past, she has also created a range of paints for Graham and Brown.

As you would expect from the Biba founder, the Barbara Hulanicki Matt Emulsion colours tend towards the bold and dramatic with several shades of purple amongst the 24 options. Obviously once it is on your walls, the designer won’t be apparent, but the paint does come in a pot with Hulanicki’s signature design on the front.

It costs £23 per 2.5 litre pot from Graham and Brown.
