Boundary is the latest venture from design guru Terence Conran. Based in a converted Victorian warehouse in London’s Shoreditch, the building includes a restaurant, roof top bar and private dining areas, but what is of interest to us are the hotel rooms.
Boundary has 12 bedrooms that have been individually designed based on iconic designers or significant design movements. These includes rooms inspired by Ellen Gray (pictured above), Charles and Ray Eames, Bauhaus, Shaker and Scandinavian styles. Prices start from £140 depending on which day of the week you want to stay. Sadly, they cannot guarantee a certain room at the time of booking, but all of the rooms look good so it should be worth the gamble.
For more information visit the Boundary website.
A wall decoration for pop art lovers, Vinyl Wall Design’s Campbell’s Soup Decal takes its inspiration from Warhol’s soup can prints.
The decal features three giant soup cans, shown here in red, although they can be created in a choice of twelve colours in true pop art style. The standard size is 50cm x 86cm, which costs $95 (around £70) but custom sizes can also be made.

We've actually covered the reissue of this design before, but on right ebay right now is a pair of Rodolfo Bonetto Melaina easy chairs from the original 1970s issue, complete with a very 1970s colour scheme.
The original design by Bonetto was for Driade, with the chairs packing that distinctly 'Space 1999' look of the era, made of fibreglass and theoretically good for indoor use or out – although judging by the minor damage to these pieces, it might be wise to keep them away from the elements.
The reissues cost over £800 each, whereas these two chairs are £500 or 'best offer' for the pair. If you want more than two, the seller claims to have 'several' in stock, should you have a large family or social circle.
Ever heard of David Mellor? Well, if the name isn't familiar, his work certainly is – you probably pass his 1966 National Traffic Light design every day of your life (if you live in the UK) and you've probably used items like his bus shelters, public seating and litter bins at some time in your life. While those items aren't celebrated by the classic designs of David Mellor artwork, some of his more stylish works for the home are.
The three prints available from Ink Posters feature Mellor's classic 1972 Abacus 700 armchair (pictured above), the Abacus Embassy Teapot (designed for the British Embassy in 1963) and the Minimal Cutlery, a more comtemporary, but equally retro design.
All the two-colour screenprints are limited to 1,000 and are incredibly minimalist, featuring just the image of the design and some details of it in the lower section. Each one retails for £55.
