The Egloo Salt and Pepper Shakers are shaped somewhere between an egg and an igloo, hence the name.
It has been design and produced by an independent pottery in Stoke, where it is cast, glaze and has the graphic applied by the small team. It is that graphic that gives the Egloo a retro dimension, in this case a silhouette of a Beefeater, viewed from the front on one shaker and from the back on the other.
The Egloo set can be bought from drpd via Bouf for £18.
Helena Carrington uses illustration and photography to produce distinctive designs for interior textiles and accessories and like many designers, she seems obsessed by images of vintage vehicles. This Campervan Cushion is typical of her work.
Measuring 40cm by 30cm, the cushion features an illustration of the favoured hippie van on the front in a choice of either pink or blue. The reverse is made from retro patterned fabric. The cushion costs £45.

Danish design company Erik Jorgensen has been creating furniture for over 50 years now and their products all have that classic Danish style. The Yasmin Chair is no exception.
The seat has a great shape but what I really like about this chair is the option to have the legs in bamboo rather than metal. This adds to the overall retro look of the chair. The Yasmin Chair is available upholstered in a huge array of fabric and quite a few leather options too.
Mac and Mac Interiors are selling the chair for just under £3,000. Visit the website for full details.
The instant photo frame is an easy way to copy the look of the polaroid photograph. Made from acrylic plastic, it's a white frame that fits around your image. Each frame comes as laser cut flat packaging, marked to help you trim your photograph to fit the frame. A nice touch is that comments can be written across the bottom of the frame in a dry wipe marker
It's not the most complex idea or sophisticated looking frame but for $10 does that matter?

More stylish storage for your home with this retro print containers from Berry Red. They are enamel tins decorated in a 1970s floral pattern, sure to look attractive on any shelf. Handily each container also has a window so you can check what's been put inside each one (or how much is left of vital supplies of things like tea and coffee!).
Though two sizes of containers are pictured above, Berry Red only seem to be selling the larger size. At 26cm high, it costs £18.50.

This Concentric Circles Mirror is a subtle piece and whilst probably not the most exciting product we’ll feature this week, it could certainly be a useful accessory for completing a retro look.
While its design might be subtle, its size is anything but, measuring a whopping 96.5cm in diameter. The website selling it recommends pairing it with Le Corbusier furniture and I certainly wouldn’t disagree.
It costs £279 from Iconic Interiors.
