We loved Mr Wingate’s East End Pub Crawl and Brutalist architecture designs, so were please to see another of his designs that pushes our buttons.
Pictured here is the Chair Stripe Cushion, but the design is also currently available on an apron. The design consists of rows of illustrations of classic chair designs, printed in black on a cream cotton background. The cushion costs £40 (including the cushion pad) and the apron costs £21.
Buy them from Mr Wingate’s shop on Not on the High Street.
The Loopy Coffee Table has been a best-seller for GillmoreSPACE since they started selling it in 2002. Whilst it isn’t of a vintage origin, its style is very much of the 1960s.
Its name comes from the fact that its shape is a loop (rather than it being slightly crazy). It is available in matt white lacquer or an oak finish. The table is currently on offer with the oak priced £345 and the white £332.

Amongst all the new season Adidas reissues are a few variations of the classic Samba. Last week, we featured some classic black and white leather reissues over on our Modculture site and now there's a new suede version on the block, specifically these Adidas Samba trainers in brown suede.
It's a classic early 60s-style Samba in shape, but with the upper in that brown suede, with white stripes and heel, matching brown laces and a white gum sole.
Most sizes available, £52 is the price.

These clover coasters from Pryl design are almost too eyecatching for resting your cup of tea on.
Designed by Julia Nielsen for the Swedish company, the classic four leaf clover is transformed into a psychedelic design which looks like it has been drawn from the late 1960s, rather than 2011. The clover design comes in three eye-popping colours, all printed onto triangular laminated birchwood – perfect for cheering up a dull table or desktop.
A set of three costs £12.

Katy Chard is a printmaker and designer whose retro influences clearly show in her work, including this Fall fabric cushion.
The beautiful colours and textures used on the cushion give it a 1950s look. Like some of the most famous textile designers from that period, Chard also is heavily influenced by the natural world – some of her other designs play with the patterns of trees, flowers and even fish.
This cushion design costs £40.
