Hold Tight collection from Mini Moderns

Holdorangepaper

A new range from Mini Moderns is always a cause for celebration and their Hold Tight collection is no exception. The range has been produced for London Transport Museum, and is suitably transport themed. Specifically, it's based on bus tickets. The wallpaper pictured is based on a collection of vintage bus tickets and is available in a choice of three different colourways. Meanwhile, a canvas bag design uses a motif made by working an old Gibson ticketing machine. 

As well as those two products, the range also includes a tea towel and a cushion. Prices start at £8 for the tea towel, with the wallpaper costing £45 a roll.

Arne Jacobsen-style Gordon table lamp from Graham and Green

Gordon light
Graham and Green's website says this Gordon table lamp is inspired by 1940s design, and there's no denying the retro appeal of the design. However, with the distinctive shape of that shade, it reminds me of a much later design – Arne Jacobsen's AJ lamps, which dates to 1960.

The main difference is the stand: the Gordon lamp has been mounted onto a metallic stand and base, which brings more of an industrial look and prevents the lamp from being purely an imitation design.  

While a AJ lamp would cost you around £500, this lamp costs £95.

Campbell’s Condensed Soup returns – in an original Warhol-style tin

Camp

Good news for food and art lovers – Campbell's Condensed Soup is back on the shelves.

Well, we say food lovers. Not everyone loves the stuff. But there's an added reason why we're getting excited over the return. The cans of soup are back in Tesco from this week, in a choice of Cream of Mushroom, Cream of Tomato, Cream of Chicken and Cream of Celery, plus a Low Fat Chicken and Low Fat Mushroom, with one in particular peaking our interest.

As you can see from the image above, the mushroom is the one to grab. It comes in the original 1960s-style tin, meaning it doubles up as a piece of Warhol-style art for your kitchen. In fact, at just 50p a tin, you can grab a pile of them for displaying, especially as they have a two-year plus sell-by date. But be warned – shelves of the vintage tin are already emptying fast.

Watt ceiling lamp at John Lewis

Watt

You really can't get any more classic than the Watt ceiling lamp at John Lewis.

As the name suggests and the images show, this is a ceiling lamp based on the light bulb.  Indeed, it's a bulb within a bulb, that larger outer bulb made of glass and with a brushed chrome finish, holding a 25w bulb for the light.

Sold with a 130cm drop of cable, it's yours for £45.
