Chh Beep Click Print by Charlotte Farmer from Found Bath

Farmer chh

This Chh Beep Click print isn't the first time Charlotte Farmer has teamed up with Found Bath – you may remember her festive Rock N Roll Christmas range. That collaboration – showing rock n roll stars alongside now redundant technology - was apparently the inspiration for this print. The redundant technology in this case is the Walkman, a desirable piece of kit in the 1980s. 

The image captures the chunky delights of the walkman, complete with the buttons that made the sounds that have given their title to the print. The print has been created using a mixture of screen-printing and embossing to create an unusual and tactile texture to the print. 

If you like the look of this, you're advised to snap it up now. It's part of a closed edition of just 10 prints. 

The print costs £95.

Retro ice cream spoons from Baci Milano

Ice cream
Though Summer may still be that little bit too far away, it's never a wrong time to indulge in some ice cream. Fifties-style ice cream accessories are a pretty common sight on the high street, so how about the slightly later looks of these retro ice cream spoons from Baci Milano

Each spoon is topped off with a Pop-style outline of a mouth, presumably open and ready to receive ice cream. The spoons may look as if they are made in plastic but they are in fact made from porcelain, adding a touch of seriousness to what could otherwise be a throwaway item. 

Still not too expensive though, as a set of four spoons costs £9.

Narbonne vintage style nesting tables from Artisanti

Nest of tables

Though your school days aren't the most obvious choice for home inspiration, that's exactly what is behind these Narbonne vintage-style nesting tables from Artisanti

The nest contains three tables, all with wood tops and cream-painted tubular legs that evoke a post-war style and create a vintage feel.

It's also the kind of furniture also being explored by Very Good and Proper at the moment. If you can't stretch your budget to afford those but like their looks, I'm pleased to say these are just that little bit cheaper – a set of these tables costs £179.

eBay watch: Nissan Pao retro-styled car

Pao1

Despite talking about it as far back as 2006, we haven't really featured the Nissan Pao much on the site. Until now that is, as one has just come up on eBay.

The Pao is generally referred to as a 'retro wagon', a fairly roomy vehicle that was launched in Japan around the same time as the equally retro Nissan Figaro. However, unlike the Figaro, not many of these have been imported to the UK, so they are far less common.
