Coffee Time print by Laura Amiss

Dandelion clocks print

We've shown you prints that are inspired by some great retro designs before. This Coffee Time print by Laura Amiss features one of our favourite – and one of the most popular – designs of recent time: Dandelion Clocks by Sanderson.

Laura is based in Amsterdam and has produced a simple A4-sized print that plays up the fifties looks of the design: if you can't quite afford the wallpaper, this is surely a nice compromise. 

It's certainly a lot cheaper as the print costs just 12 euros.

Lomography introduces the La Sardina film camera range

Lom1

We’re big fans of Lomo photography, so we’re always pleased to see new models – like the Lomography La Sardina film camera range.

It’s a very fishy-themed camera, based on the design of a sardine tin, as you might have guessed from the one pictured above and the three cameras featured over the page,. They go by the names of El Capitán, Fischer´s Fritze, Sea Pride and Marathon, each with their one vintage-style imagery and colour.

Limited edition The Prisoner eight poster set by Piper Gates Design

Pris1

We have featured both Piper Gates Design and its artwork for The Prisoner before, but this is something worth mentioning – a set of eight posters featuring The Prisoner, the sets limited to a run of 50.

As you can (or might remember), the artwork is a mix of The Prisoner and vintage Penguin books, combining to create something eye-catching and retro. This particular set features eight designs on posters measuring 30 x 40cm, printed on high quality 200 gram paper and in those limited numbers.

You can buy a set online via eBay for the rather tasty price of just £12.99. See some close-ups over the page.
