Here are some unusual tiles with a slightly different look to some of the products we feature on this site. The Ridgeway Road tiles are printed with the covers of vintage classical music concert programmes.
Made by All Kinds of New and originally sold as part of The Art Group's 'Let's Play' exhibition, there are 12 designs that encompass a wide range of both composers and typographical styles. Hopefully something for every taste then.
The tiles cost £20 each.

If you're organising your new year courtesy of the Redstone Press 2010 diary we featured a little while back, you may be interested to learn Redstone have collaborated with Magma to produce seven Masters of Early Russian Children's Books prints, based on some of the 1920s and '30s illustrations reproduced in the diary.
The prints are all striking and unusual images and include Vladimir Lebedev's 1929 illustration of woman driving to train station from 1929, shown above. Each print is hand-screen printed as part of a limited edition of 100 and costs £30.

The iconic Marshall amplifier has been around since the mid-1960s, largely unchanged in looks, making it something of a music icon. Which is why these Marshall amplifier headphones by Zound Industries are so incredibly eye-catching.
Yes, we're talking that distintive Marshall shape and branding for your ears, keeping that same white on black colour scheme naturally and with the 'Marshall' signature in the headband.
Sadly, Zound Industries is only showing off the headphones round the trade shows right now, but it is ahead of a full commercial release, likely to be later this year.

Outerwear is often seen as functional, with many of us playing it safe so we can wear a piece with everything. For retro lovers, however, the right piece can be the fastest and most effective way to get some truly vintage-inspired style. This Cotton and Silk-Blended Jacket by Giambattista Valli is precisely one such item.
The cut of this coat creates an immediately sixties-look silhouette, with a classic swing style. The cropped look, too, is an effective ode to mid-sixties style. A peter pan collar, three-quarter length sleeves and oversized buttons all combine in a retro look that doesn't put a foot wrong.
Made from a rich cotton and silk fabric, the jacket costs £1057.50.
