Lavazza’s colourful and retro Mio Modo coffee maker

Posted on | Leave a comment

Modo

If you didn't fancy the plain black version, there's now there's a more colourful way to prepare your coffee when using the Lavazza Mio Modo coffee maker.

Take your pick from any of the bold colours above, adding some brightness to the already retro look of the original. It should make a tasty coffee too, using capsules and cutting edge extraction technology to produce a full-bodied and creamy espresso, a steam arm for cappuccinos and lattes and a hot water function for the tea drinkers. But I'm guessing if you're a tea drinker, it's not the best way of spending your cash.

Still the same price as the black model – expect to pay around £119.

Welbeck British postcard tile collection

Posted on | Leave a comment

Coastal tiles

As you put the kettle on for another cup of tea and find yourself dreaming of different times and places, fuel your fantasies with the coastal collection from Welbeck tiles. 

The range is inspired by old postcards and uses images from perhaps the golden age of British holiday going, featuring scenes from places like Skegness, Margate, Newquay and Barry Island amongst many others. Other tiles show the reverse of the postcards, complete with the requisite 'Wish you were here' type of messages. 

All the tiles are hand-made in Cornwall which is reflected in the price as the postcard tiles cost £40 each. They are shown in the image above alongside tiles from some of the other Welbeck ranges: full details and prices can be found online.

Deco side table

You can rely on Graham and Green to provide a touch of glamour to your home and this Art Deco side table from their Spring range is no exception.

The table is as alluring as you'd expect from the name, with a circular top and base, joined by tulip-shaped stems. In tribute to the Deco style, the stems are mirrored. The only question is whether the rest of your lounge is sophisticated enough to go with it…

It costs £235 from their website

Tetris Mirror by Sonar Ozenc

Posted on | Leave a comment

Tetris mirror

We've featured many Tetris-inspired products before, from chocolates to tiles. Here's another way the game can creep off the Game Boy and into your home: the Tetris Mirror. 

Designed by Sonar Ozenc, it's made from laser-cut acrylic and comes in thirteen panels, using the shapes so familiar from the game. It's then up to you whether you display them as one rectangle or break it down into the different parts. The temptation would be to keep re-arranging them for optimum (theoretical) points! 

The mirror is available in silver or gold and costs £39.85.

Michelle Mason London Calling tea towel

London calling tea towel

Like the Dupenny wallpapers and cushions, here's another design that's appearing in various guises, now in the form of the London Calling tea towel designed by Michelle Mason.

If you liked the London-based cushions we featured a couple of weeks back but couldn't justify the £45 price tag, the London Calling design is also available on a tea towel. This version of the design costs much less but has got the same 1950s feel and naive charm, complete with a bright blue sky. As a London dweller, I can only dream that such a scene faced me on a look out of the window! 

The tea towel costs £10 from To Dry For

Dupenny burlesque cushions

Burlesque-cushion-gigi

Do you remember Dupenny's burlesque wallpaper, featuring vintage-styled dancing beauties? Well, some of the girls from that paper get to star in their own right, with these burlesque cushions. 

Choose from three designs: Peaches, Ophelia or Gigi (who is shown). Each is hand-printed onto silk to create an opulent, boudoir feel, further enhanced by the red backing to the cushion. 

As well as being pretty, these ladies will also cost you a pretty penny, at £65 each. That's still cheaper than the original wallpaper though which costs £90 a roll.
