Alvar Aalto 75th Anniversary Artek 60 Stools in Bauhaus colours

Bauhaus

By Bauhaus, we mean the German design house, not the vintage goth band. Otherwise these Alvar Aalto 75th Anniversary Artek 60 Stools would all be black.

But no, they're in a red, yellow and blue lacquer to celebrate 75 years since Aalto created this modernist classic. Indeed, it's a design that's still popular and influential today and no doubt will be even more popular with a splash of bold colour.

As you would expect, the stools are still made of birch and are priced a little more than the plain version, £165 each.

Eames-inspired Hang it All – Hang it Big by Ruby Anemic

Hang

The original was one of the first things we featured on this site and there was also a limited edition last year that we also covered. But neither of the original Hang-It-Alls have the impact of the Hang It All – Hang it Big by Ruby Anemic. Because it's huge.

Artist Ruby Anemic has created a 200 x 160cm sculpted tribute to the iconic 1953 coat rack by Charles & Ray Eames, with those tubes made of lacquered white metal, topped off by the polychrome lacquered spheres.

Signed and numbered and limited to 53 units, it sells online for an equally hefty 8,300 Euros, plus shipping of course.

eBay watch: 1960s Voss Belysning Danish triple hanging UFO lamp

Drop1

Love the design of this Voss Belysning Danish triple hanging UFO lamp.

A 1960s piece, it's probably best seen in its entirety (over the page), where you'll see three colourful fixtures, suspended by three cords, all passing through a solid teak stricture at the halfway point of the cords.

Described as being in 'very nice condition', it's perfect for a mid-60s-style pad. £14.86 is the current price.

CCCP: Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed book by Frédéric Chaubin

Cccp2

Fans of weird and wonderful extreme, space age and brutalist architecture will no doubt love CCCP: Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed book by Frédéric Chaubin, which is published by Taschen.

Photographer Chaubin highlights 90 buildings that were constructed from 1970 until the break-up of the Soviet Union, a diverse range of architecture that has one thing in common – all of it has the power to amaze. From a crematorium adorned with concrete flames to a summer camp inspired by sketches of a prototype lunar base and a technological institute with a flying saucer crashed on the roof, it's all here and more.

Supported by words of explanation over the 288 pages, you can 'browse' the book at the Taschen site and you can see another image over the page. It's much cheaper to buy at Amazon though, with around a third off the RRP, selling for £22.74.
