California-based Wilkerson Furniture have designed the M21 Flat TV Console, which houses flat-screen television in a mid-century style stand. Made from a mixture of solid and veneer hardwoods, the console is available in black walnut or cherry and can be custom-built according to the size of your television.

Betsey Johnson Paisley Cardigan

Paisley_cardigan

Betsey Johnson is a designer who is by no means afraid of a bold print, and thankfully for us she takes most of her inspiration from retro staples. Paisley was made a true fashion classic in the 1960s, and this bold version with a great colour palette makes this cardigan a statement piece.

The black base means this piece is wearable with most plain outfits, and the swirling shades of orange, pink and blue make a classic psychedelic combination.

The cardigan is available online from Betsey Johnson’s boutique for $235.

Marilyn Room Divider

Ssimage20080524483800513b2e5

The trouble with being an icon is that your image ends up on all sorts of products, and Marilyn Monroe’s image must be one of the most (over) used. However, this Marilyn Room Divider manages to make good use of some familiar images.

The divider consists of three panels, each measuring 180 x 45 x 2.5cm and featuring two images of the starlet. The photographs are sepia tinged so that they work well with the vintage style of the divider.

It costs just under £160 and can be ordered from England at Home.

Moquette

London Transport Museum has found a use for its old rolls of hard-wearing Moquette fabric – creating the London Transport Museum’s Moquette furniture range.

Moquette was used on bus and tube seats from the 30s through to the 70s, a tough fabric able to take the wear and tear of constant daily use. But it wasn’t just functional – designers were constantly brought in to liven up the fabric, creating looks that are both stylish and very distinct to their eras.
