Lomo LC-A+ No Nukes limited edition camera

Nonukes

What is it with Lomo and limited editions? Last year we seemed to have a Diana camera every week, this year it's the Lomo LC- A+, presumably because it's the camera's 25th anniversary. So for all you collectors out there, here's another – the Lomo LC-A+ No Nukes limited edition camera.

Designed by the Lomography Embassy in South Korea as a protest against the proliferation of nuclear weapons, it's the same classic LC A+ film camera with Minitar 1 lens, multi-exposure switch and multiple accessory options, but this time there's also a specially-designed leather body and No Nukes commemorative wooden box.

Not many around (500 to be specific), so if you want one, get in quick. Prices obviously vary depending on the package you go for, but the starter is yours for £257.95.

eBay watch: 1970s Gae Aulenti Gaetano work table

Gaetano

Well over 30 years old and still looking cutting edge – the Gaetano work table by Gae Aulenti is likely to stay that way for some years to come.

An example of this 1971 design is on eBay right now, currently at a very reasonable £175 with four days left (as I write). It's worth checking out the close-up shots on the eBay site for the detail on this, looking like an upmarket workbench, it has that glass top, with two metal plinths in black with red detailing supporting each side and what look like bike handle bars supporting the glass.

Great for everyday use, but especially cool as a quirky office desk, it's certainly a nice thing to own.

Graham and Green glamorous faux snakeskin dressing table

Graham and Green dressing table

Graham and Green are stocking an item sure to appeal to any wannabe vintage starlet, this faux snakeskin dressing table. It looks like something from the golden era of Hollywood and would be perfect for enhancing a boudoir. 

The mirror folds up from the body of the table to reveal several compartments and there's also a slide out drawer, so there's plenty of space for storing cosmetics (or perhaps love letters from admirers).

The table costs £525 and the matching seat with a glamorous metal finish, also pictured, costs £198.

‘The Players’ jazz musican cushions by Doublethink Designs

The Players

Here are three unusual looking cushions for music fans from Doublethink Designs. They make up a series called The Players which features jazz greats illustrated as if they appear on playing cards. This means you get Charlie Parker shown as the King of Clubs, Nina Simone as the Queen of Hearts and Dizzy Gillespie as the Joker.

Victoria Evans is the talent behind Doublethink Designs and she drew the original ink drawings which have been subsequently digitally printed onto white cotton Panama for the cushion covers. Each cushion costs £50 each.

Stussy Deluxe x Dr Martens desert boots

Stuss_dm

We featured the Dr Martens Manton desert boots recently, but we've just encountered another variation on the theme – the Stussy Deluxe x Dr Martens desert boots.

It's a 'fun' take on the classic desert boot, available in three shades of suede (brown, grey and black), all with a white outer sole, contrast laces, mid-sole and tab.

They land in Japan on August 22nd, with Europe to follow. No word on price, but we'll guess 'premium'.

Vitsoe Post-War plastics exhibition poster by NB: Studio

Postwar

The actual show might have passed, but this incredibly eye-catching poster for Post-War plastics: Dieter Rams’s innovations in design, 1956 to 1974 is still available – and doesn't cost a fortune.

The poster is the work of NB: Studio and is being offered in limited numbers online, but once they're gone, they're gone. Design fans might apprecate that the poster uses an original photograph from the launch of Vitsoe’s Dieter Rams-designed 601 chair. The rest of you will probably just appreciate the overall stylish looks.

Whatever you like about it, the poster can be yours for just £15.
