C60 cassette wallpaper from Mini Moderns

Posted on | Leave a comment

C60 wallpaper

Two favourite things meet in this wallpaper: a love of the humble cassette and a love of Mini Moderns' designs. Mini Modern's latest design for kids (or grown-ups who haven't quite grown up) is the C60 wallpaper. The pattern repeats a variety of different tapes, bringing back fond memories of carefully creating and listening to mix tapes with names such as 'summer hits' or 'party mix'.

The image shown is in the chalkboard and gold option but, if you are extra keen to encourage your kids to pay homage to this lost technology, it also comes in the customisable 'colour me' option. Both versions cost £38 per roll.

Vintage Plate Clock

Kitch-kitchen-clock

We’ve seen vintage plates given a new lease of life as cake stands but here is a more unusual idea, the Kitsch Kitchen Plate Clock.

Not only is the clock face made from an old floral patterned plate that your granny would probably live, but the hands have been made from spoon handles and the pendulum from a tablespoon.

The clock costs just under £40 from Stylish Life.

Walnut and Gloss Sculptural Side Table

Posted on | Leave a comment

Whitesculpturetable

A trend that seems to be bubbling under at the moment is the combination of walnut and high gloss white in one piece of furniture. The latest example of this I’ve spotted is this Sculptural Side Table.

Pictured here is the version that is predominantly white with a walnut finish to the inner surface area, but it is also available with the finishes reversed. Perhaps one of each would be an interesting effect, and as they cost just £129 each, not an unrealistic amount to spend. They can be used as side tables in the lounge or in the bedroon.

The tables are available to buy from Dwell.

See jumper

Jumper dresses are a versatile wardrobe staple available in a great variety of retro styles, but perhaps the most popular decade for the item are the 1980s. This See by Chloé version is every inch the eighties version, avoiding the faux pas of the era.

Made from a luxurious wool blend, the loose fit gives an oversized menswear look that characterised the decade's jumper dress style. Gold look beading against black gives a feel of the Dallas-style luxury too.

Find it online at Matches Fashion for £348.

Ross Lovegrove 70s-style Tri-Oval Table for Knoll

Posted on | 1 Comment

Trioval

A modern design, but there's no denying that the Ross Lovegrove Tri-Oval Table for Knoll could have come kicking and screaming from the 1970s.

Tri-Oval presumably because of the oval glass and three-legged support, the low table is available in a wide range of finishes, from clear and chrome to bright and colourful, but we prefer this smokey top and bronze frame which pushes the 70s- factor up to 11.

Shop around for the best price, but expect to pay around £1,000.
