We’ve long been admirers to Jonathan Adler’s retro inspired designs so are now delighted to discover that the online shop has introduced a “Customize Your Pillows and Rugs” service. This allows you to pick your favourite design and change the colours to fit with your home’s colour scheme.
With the cushion, you can choose from 15 designs, most of which are 60s influenced, such as the CND sign, a heart, a target, concentric squares or dots and colour the various elements of the design in a choice of 20 colours. You can then pick another pattern for the reverse. As if that wasn’t enough choice, the cushions also come in two sizes and a choice of materials.
The 16 x 16 cushions cost $110 (about £80) and the larger 24 x 24 size cost $195 (about £120). Visit the Jonathan Adler website to create your perfect cushion.
Rockett St George are currently selling this great Click Art Print by Tom Shone.
The print simply features a classic camera with the word "Click" beneath it in a suitably retro font, but its simplicity makes it a striking design. I also love the orange colour of the print, which adds to its retro style. The print is sold unframed, but as it measures 70cm by 100cm, it should be easy enough to find a frame for it.

If the colour doesn't convince you, the design is almost certainly a giveaway of the origins of this 1970s eyeball-style ceiling light and wall lights.
Yes, that's right, not just the light above, some wall lights thrown it too. But let's look at the main fitting first. That being a distinctive thing with chrome ceiling rose, orange 'stem' and three eyeball-style spotlights for targeting light around the room.
Not something we have seen in the UK, but for readers in North America, the Gus Modern Spencer armchair.
Packing that late 50s/early 60s Knoll-style look, the Spencer, which is available in various colours, has a blind-tufted seat and back cushion, plus a stainless steel inset base for a seat that's likely to be as comfortable as it is stylish.
Available from Allmodern in the US, prices start at $1,155.
We featured one of these yesterday, but here's a second reissued George Nelson wall clock from the 1960s – the Vitra Polygon clock.
1961 is the year of original creation, with the Polygon offering a quirky shape with lots of angles and sharp edges, not a million miles from yesterday's Wheel, but this time made entirely from walnut, except the quartz movement of course.
Back on the market now, you can pick one up for £305.
