Audrey and Marilyn storage boxes

Posted on | 1 Comment

Audrey box

From Audrey screens and rugs to Marilyn room dividers to cushions, I've lost track of the number of products that utilize the glamour and popularity of Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. Here their style is applied to a very practical product: storage boxes. 

Both boxes use one of each actresses' most iconic films for inspiration. In the case of Audrey, it's Breakfast at Tiffany's, while the Marilyn box uses images from The Seven Year Itch. So, even if what you put in them is dull, the outside will still look chic. 

The boxes are self-assembly and come in two sizes: 32 x 40cm (width by depth) at £11 and 40 x 50cm for £13.

Tiles1

Here are some unusual tiles with a slightly different look to some of the products we feature on this site. The Ridgeway Road tiles are printed with the covers of vintage classical music concert programmes. 

Made by All Kinds of New and originally sold as part of The Art Group's 'Let's Play' exhibition, there are 12 designs that encompass a wide range of both composers and typographical styles. Hopefully something for every taste then. 

The tiles cost £20 each.

Michelle Mason Piccadilly Circus cushion

Piccadilly_cushion

We've previously featured Michelle Mason's collaboration with London Transport. Her new cushion collection also draws inspiration from the capital and includes this charming Piccadilly Circus cushion. 

Inspired by old postcards, the design shows a very stylised view of Piccadilly Circus (if only there was that little traffic!), including Eros and the famous advertising hoardings. There's even a couple of classic Routemaster buses to be seen.  

One of the other cushions features Columbia flower market, while the third shows a more generalised London street scene. All the designs are printed onto cotton satin and cost £45 each.

Cassette wall sticker from Ferm Living

Cassette_wallsticker

We've featured countless products based on cassettes and countless more wall stickers, so it was only natural that the two should combine at some point. And, lo and behold, the cassette wall sticker from Ferm Living. 

It's black and it's big, measuring 100 x 50cm. It's also quite expensive for what it is at £61.30. But there's surely no better way to illustrate your devotion to tape technology.

Angry Children cushions featuring 60s and 70s architecture

Angry Children cushions

If you are a regular reader of this site, you'll be well aware of the work of People Will Always Need Plates. For a new twist on the architecture on homeware theme, how about their German equivalent in the form of these Angry Children cushions featuring 60s and 70s Berlin buildings?

The Angry Children range is the work of s.wert designs and is so-called because they are angry about building fronts that have disappeared or are about to disappear. For example, the cushion on the right shows Ahronblatt, or 'Mapleleaf' building: built in East Berlin between 1970-3 and demolished in 2001. 

There are seven different designs to choose from, all featuring buildings dating from the sixties and seventies, including the Haus der Statistik design shown on the left. Each cushion cover costs 33 euros.
