1970s Stelton Press Coffee Maker by Erik Magnussen

Stelton

The Stelton Vacuum Jug is a design classic that has featured before on these pages. But that 1977 gem has been reworked, returning as the Stelton Press Coffee Maker.

Using the original design developed by Erik Magnussen from his classic Vacuum Jug, the Press Coffee Maker has all the same design features, but rather than just keeping things hot/cold, it instead brews up to eight cups of coffee at a time. Although it does retain that 'keep warm' function thanks to the double walls.

Available in black, red and white, the Press Coffee Maker comes complete with a measuring spoon and instructions. You can buy one now for just £39.95.

Established & Sons and Venini Lighthouse Lamp

Lighthouse_03_500 
The Lighthouse Lamp is the product of a collaboration between Established & Sons and Italian glass company Venini.

The lamp was designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec and consists of hand-blown glass shade and a marble base. The shade is held in place by an industrial made support structure, which has only one point of contact with the shade. The glass hade is available in a choice of a dark smoky grey or amber, which gives the piece a 1970s look to it.

The Lighthouse Lamp is available to buy from Twenty Twenty One, priced at a somewhat prohibitive £2,520.
