Doorstops made from vintage fabric in the shape of chickens have been popular on a number of websites, and Plumo now has something similar but a little more sophisticated in its Pear Doorstop.

The oversized doorstop (measuring 23cm by 20cm) is made from canvas with a retro 70s print.  The print is made up of various flowers in clashing shades of blues, pinks and orange.

It costs £25 from Plumo.

Ignore the unappealing sounding name for the Chocolate Splat Clock is a rather attractive piece with more than a little retro style.

It is made from Kona Blend pattern laminate on MDF, which is a rich dark colour, rather similar to the retro favourite Walnut. The “splat” part of the clock is a cut out pattern backed with white MDF for contrast. The clock hands are available in a choice of aluminium or painted in either blue, green, red, orange or yellow.

The clock costs $45 (around £30) and happily is available for shipping worldwide. Buy online from Pilot Design’s Etsy shop.

The Layer Sideboard gives an interesting twist on the traditional sideboard.

The body of the sideboard can be made from either white oak or brown lacquer, but it is the different coloured front panel that gives it a distinctive look. The front part is available in red, blue, green, pink lacquer as well as the white oak and brown lacquer, which gives a wide choice.

The Layer Sideboard is also offered in various sizes and configurations/ It costs between $2600 and $3000 depending on what choices you make, from 2b Mod.
