Whilst retro-patterned bed sets aren’t difficult to come by, bed design tends to be a more limited field. However, here is an interesting design, which although new, looks as if it came from a mid-century designer.

The Rocking Bed has been created by a Germany company called Private Cloud. Quite simply it combines the best elements of the rocking chair and the bed, Their website describes the soothing properties of rocking as well as reassurances that the bed can be stablised while you sleep and it can’t be overturned.

I’m sold on the idea, but given it is shape, you would need a large bedroom as well as a similarly large wallet with the Rocking Bed costing between 5400 and 6700 Euros depending on the size. If you have the space and the money, visit the Private Cloud website for more information.

The Egloo Salt and Pepper Shakers are shaped somewhere between an egg and an igloo, hence the name.

It has been design and produced by an independent pottery in Stoke, where it is cast, glaze and has the graphic applied by the small team. It is that graphic that gives the Egloo a retro dimension, in this case a silhouette of a Beefeater, viewed from the front on one shaker and from the back on the other.

The Egloo set can be bought from drpd via Bouf for £18.
