Eva Zeisel One-O-One range

Posted on | Leave a comment

Zeisel one-o-one

Ceramicist Eva Zeisel was featured earlier this month for her collaboration with KleinReid but she's recently been awarded a classic design award for her One-O-One range. It's named for her age when she designed the range and it proves she's as stylish as ever. Like her re-issued Classic Century range, it is produced by Royal Stafford pottery and is fine English, high-fired earthenware in her trademark mid-century style with sweeping curves and interesting organic shapes.  

The Rockland Bowl pictured costs £50, but prices range upwards from £6.99 for a plate.

Barneby Gates “This Other Eden” Wallpaper

Posted on | Leave a comment

This-other-eden-wallpaper

Barneby Gates is a new company that brings together the talents of Vogue Living Editor, Vanessa Barneby and textile designer, Alice Gates. Although a new venture, their designs have a decidedly nostalgic quality given a contemporary twist. This is particularly apparent in the "This Other Eden" Wallpaper.

The wallpaper features a collage of vintage British scenes taken from original 19th and 20th century photographs. The original sepia images have been given a beautiful vintage gold finish, which apparently the photographs don’t do justice to.

It costs £59 per roll and can be ordered directly from Barneby Gates. They will also send an A4 sample of any wallpaper so you can see it properly before you commit to buying.

The print here needs no introduction, but Warhol’s Campbell Soup Can design has been put to good use (again!) on a range of shopping bags.

Made from 100% cotton, the bags have been coated in PVC to make them rainproof. There are two sizes of shopping bag priced £7.95 and £9.95 for the small and medium respectively and a version with a shoulder strap also costing £9.95.

They can be bought online from the National Galleries of Scotland website.

1960s-style Glove armchair by Conran

Posted on | Leave a comment

Glovechair

A modern design, but there's a definite 60s space age look to this Glove armchair, the work of Content by Conran.

It's very much the 'Bond Villain' armchair, with a white moulded fibreglass shell, soft leather upholstered seating and a spun steel base with swivel and tilt mechanism.

If you fancy it, you're in luck as the Glove armchair is currently in the Conran sale. Saying that, it's still fairly high priced at £1,756.

Fred Perry autumn/winter range at Oki-Ni

Posted on | Leave a comment

Perry_autumn1

The sale has only been underway a matter of weeks, but over at Oki-Ni, the new Fred Perry autumn/winter stock is now online for pre-order, although you aren't likely to see most of it until September.

As you might expect, there's a mix of shirts, polo shirts, jackets, scarves and knitwear, with some hats and a rather smart vintage-style leather holdall (pictured over the page) thrown in for good measure too. The polo shirts above are also new to the range – described as Twisted Texture Knitted Sports Shirts, they're the classic 60s-style knitted polos with ribbed hem, embroidered logo and contrast detailing.

Really smart, but at £125, not exactly for everyone's budget. Check out all the new items below, along with the sale items from the current range.

Malcolm

We featured Emory Douglas some months back, around the time of the Emory Douglas and The Art of Revolution exhibition at Manchester's Urbis. Well, the Black Panther's former Minister of Culture is now showing off his work at the New Museum in New York under the title Emory Douglas: Black Panther and to coincide, Station 4 has released this very limited edition Malcolm X screenprint.

It's a powerful piece of 60s-style pop art featuring the human rights activist, printed by Political Gridlock at Firehouse Kustom Rockart Co. in a limited edition of just 13, all six colour screenprints sized at 18 x 18 inches, signed and numbered by the artist.

It goes on sale today, priced at $300.
