Furni x Mumble 1980s-style digital watch

Mumble2

We love Furni watches, you may remember we've featured both the Cool Hunting and Raised by Wolves collaborations in the past. And now we have another new one, offering the same 80s styling and the same value for money – the Furni x Mumble digital watch.

An eye-catching timepiece, it offers that 80s styling, along with 'bling' gold buttons, clasp and watch back, stopwatch, alarm, 12/24-hour time, some water resistance and a clear plastic case with a 1-inch 'I am a Contributor' button.

The watch has been made in association with Club Mumble, which features influences of contemporary art, skateboarding and street culture, with a portion of every watch sale going to a campaign that gives skateboards to underprivileged youth across Canada. And that price? Just $24, which is a ridiculously cheap £14.50. See over the page for another image.

Urban Embroidered Cushions

Donut-embroidered-cushions-low

Simon Seabright has designed a series of four Urban Embroidered Cushions which feature Americana images most often associated with the 1950s.

Bowl features a bowling alley, skittle and bowling ball. Love Shack features a motel with a neon sign. Gas Station shows a typical American gas station. Possibly the most interesting is the Donuts option which shows a picture of a donut store which can be personalised with your own name.

The cushions measure 65cm squared and cost £95 each. They can be bought from Rockett St George.

Olli & Lime “George” Wallpaper

Georgewallpaper

Olli & Lime make products for children and they suggest that their George Wallpaper is used in a nursery or child’s bedroom. But I think it could work just as well in a child-free household.

The paper is available in a choice of two colours; milk chocolate or lime green, decorated with white stylised flower patterns. The chocolate colourway in particular could be used in any adult room. The wallpaper costs £35 per 52cm x 10m roll.

You can buy online directly from Olli and Lime.

Original BTC 1930s-style Hector table lamp

Hector

We have covered Original BTC previously (specifically for the company's Paxo pendant light), but we've just spotted this superb piece of reproduction 1930s design from the same team – the Hector table lamp.

Yes, despite the look, this is a modern design, but with a distinctly 1930s look from that glossy metallic base and adjustable shade, chrome stand and best of all, the woven flex, which is a great finishing touch.

Three sizes are available (small, medium and large), along with various colour options. Prices start at around the £97 mark.

Reebok 1980s Freestyle Hi Basquiat trainers

Basq1

An 80s shoe that's also a tribute to iconic 1980s artist – the Reebok Freestyle Hi Basquiat trainers.

We're not sure whether these are fashion or art – obviously you can wear them, although that chunky 80s profile is something as many people will hate as love. Or you could just put them on display – with each shoe featuring 1980s Basquiat street art all over (body, sole, laces, tongue and straps) and a Basquiat signature inside.

Choose from two colours (black or white), both selling for 110 Euros. See over the page for a view of the white from a different angle.

Tiny modernist cross stitch

If you are a cross stitch beginner and felt the Emily Peacock kit featured a couple of weeks ago was too ambitious, perhaps the Tiny Modernist cross stitch designs offer a better place to start? Tiny Modernist, who actually specialise in modern clothing for kids, have produced several designs to help you recreate modernist icons, including the Eames lounge chair and the van der Rohe Barcelona chair as shown above. Also available are patterns for sewing mid-century houses, a sailor type tattoo or retro telephones. 

For $4 you are emailed a PDF file which contains the actual pattern and details of all the threads to be used. A tiny investment for a tiny potential masterpiece.
