Ben de Lisi vintage telephone cushion from Debenhams

Posted on | Leave a comment

Telephone cushion

An unlikely source but this Ben de Lisi designed vintage telephone cushion has a good retro look. Produced as part of the designer's range for Debenhams, the image of a classic dial telephone is printed onto the front of the cushion. 

The telephone is depicted in a vibrant red contrasting to the white background and black piping of the cushion. If you like this, there's an accompanying design featuring another object of vintage affections – the typewriter. 

The cushion is in the Debenhams sale and is currently available for £14.40.

Music Business canvas print by Dale Edwin Murray

Music-business-canvas-print-by-dale-edwin-murray-5789-p
A striking piece of music-inspired art with this Music Business canvas print by Dale Edwin Murray.

The piece by this London-based illustrator has a clear 60s influence – it depicts the sleeve of a sharply suited man merging into the form of a vinyl record. The design is printed onto canvas which makes it even more of a statement piece – and no need to bother about framing either. 

The canvas is limited to 250 copies and costs £99.

The Union Jack motif has suffered from overkill, especially around the Royal Wedding, but if you want something patriotic and nostalgic, Ali Miller’s United Kingdom range makes a nice change.

The design comprises a map of the UK, ships and crowns (not a Union flag in sight) and it adorns those quintessential British items, a teacup and saucer set and a teapot. The teacup and saucer cost £25 and the teapot costs £45.

They are available exclusively at Rockett St George.

Leather stud tassel bag

This leather stud tassel bag is the ideal statement bag which is also pretty practical.

Meeting this summer's 1970s love affair perfectly, this bag is pretty and durable. It's perfect for the festival season and as it's real leather it's soft to touch but also will last a while. It's an idea buy for the summer and should last a lot longer.

Even better news – it's in the sale at the moment at John Lewis – so while stocks last (and before we buy them all up) get yours for £39.

Fonteyn Dressing Table

Fonteyne_walnut_product_page_1_2 
Available to order from Made.com now is another retro-inspired design by Steuart Padwick, the Fonteyn Dressing Table.

Apparently the shape is inspired by a dancer’s poise (hence the name), but to us, those tapered legs and curves are midcentury design. The table has a matt walnut finish with the drawers in a contrasting red gloss. The finishing touch of a round mirror completes its vintage look. It costs £395 from Made, a bargain compared with the £1,295 high street price.
