Karlsson Dizzy Wall Clock

Karlsson_dizzy 
How the Dizzy Wall Clock by Karlsson got its name hardly needs explaining, as anything more than a quick glimpse at the steel clock face is enough to make you giddy.

Whilst the circular pattern in the steel and white clock hands do not make this the easiest for reading the time from, it does create a pleasingly psychedelic effect.

The clock measures 30cm in diameter and costs £60 from Dot Maison.

Vintage-style stacking cake tins

Stacking cake tinesCath KidstonLisa Stickley: we seem to have featured a lot of cake tins recently. But if you like cake, these stacking cake tins have a great advantage – you can store three tiers worth!

Apart from the joy of holding a lot of cake, these tins have got the benefit of some good vintage style. They come in cream covered metal, with either green or red lids. The look is topped off with some matching, not-too-twee, retro typography. For those who are slightly less greedy, they're available as single tins too. 

The set of three stacking tins is available for £35.

Darling Clementine Woodland trays

Woodland tray
Cast your mind back and you may remember the Woodland cards: a colourful take on the 70s folk trend courtesy of Norway's Darling Clementine. If you thought those cards too good to send to someone else, they are now available in a more permanent form, in the shape of these Woodland trays

Darling Clementine have selected four of their favourite designs and applied them onto birch veneer trays of various sizes and shapes. Each design uses the same reduced pink, black and white colour scheme to create a striking look. And, on the folk theme, each image is packed full of owls, foxes, flowers and other natural delights. 

Currently only available to pre-order, the tray pictured will cost you $35.

Ella Doran Opal Formica Table

Furniture-Opal-Table-large 
The Opal Formica Table is the first product from Ella Doran to feature her Opal pattern.

Like the Geometric Repeat pattern that was introduced last year, the Opal is a op-art design that is more subtle than Ella Doran’s more famous work. Here it is used on a table top made from Formica (always good for creating a retro look), on a James Leonard school desk-style table.

The table is available to buy from the Ella Doran website, priced £350.
