Kare Design Sputnik Hanging Lamp discounted at Achica

Sputnik

We have mentioned Achica a few times – it’s an online ‘club’ that does short-term clearance sales of interesting brands. Indeed, they’ve got a clearance of Design House Stockholm right now, which is well worth a look. But we’ve picked out something from elsewhere on the site – this Kare Design Sputnik Hanging Lamp.

It’s a stunning, 1960s-inspired centrepiece for a room, made of chrome-plated metal with 20x 20 watt bulbs providing the light in the room. Bulbs, you’ll not be suprised to hear, are not included.

The entire structure is about 54cm high and around 53cm wide and usually sells for £249. But for the next day or so, you can get one from Achica for £149. So if you fancy a Sputnik, don’t hang about. Note that you do have to register at Achica to enter the site, but it only takes seconds and is free.

Miss Ann Darrow dress by Able Grable

Able

The party season may be well and truly over for now but the Miss Ann Darrow dress from Able Grable will give you picture perfect 1930s chic at any occasion.

Inspired by the character played by silver screen icon Fay Wray in the original King Kong, this elegant silk & satin cocktail dress is as glamourous as it's namesake. The oversized bow accent and flattering puff sleeves wouldn't look out of place on any red carpet in the heyday of Hollywood.

The Miss Ann Darrow dress is £119.99 and is made to order for a flawless fit. Available in 14 different colours ('Kingfisher' pictured).

Lady Gaga re-invents the Polaroid camera with the Polaroid GL30

Pol1

Some of you might know that Lady Gaga is the Creative Director at Polaroid and as such, is in charge of producing products that will grab the world's attention. At the current CES gadget circus, she's just turned up to show off a printer, some bizarre camera glasses and this – the Polaroid GL30.

All the products are under the Grey Label (by Haus of Gaga) banner, but we're not sure when these are going into production, although 'later this year' has been floated as an approximate date for the GL30. It's a modern-day interpretation of the Polaroid camera, keeping a retro look (in this case looking like something out of a 60s sci-fi movie) and still printing out images on-demand, this time with the latest Zink printing system. Only this time, there's a flip-out screen and options to customise your images (filters, borders etc) before you print them out.

See another shot of the camera over the page. It's a head-turner no doubt, even if it's a lot bulkier than the camera on your mobile phone. As soon as we hear news on price and availability, you'll be the first to know. See the Polaroid site for the promo film of the launch too.

eBay watch: Ercol midcentury nest of tables

Ercol

We featured the colourful anniversary version of these last year, which came in at a hefty £525. As yet, the price of this particular Ercol nest of tables is nowhere near that.

Mind you, this is a used set, lacking the bold shades of the anniversary set. In fact, all the elm tables have a plain finish, as well as a bit of wear and tear-  the seller describing the set as being in 'very good used condition with some light superficial marks to the tops'.

You can make your own mind up about that from the images on the selling page. if you like what you see, the price right now is £5 for the set.

Ingela P Arrhenius nesting circus dolls

Ingela-arrhenius-nesting-circus-dolls
We've previously shown you the retro-style artwork of Ingela P Arrhenius and here, with this set of nesting circus dolls, her colourful designs are translated into 3D.

The set is a new take on Russian nesting dolls with five figures that each fit inside each other. The difference here is that they're all based on circus characters – including the lion tamer, the lion and the clown – from one of her prints. Made from wood, the resulting toy has a very traditional feel and is almost too nice to hand over to the kids. 

Each set costs £18.95.
