There are quite a few retro style breadbins on the market, but the Wesco Grandy Breadbin is based on an original 1940s Wesco Design.
It is available in a range of interesting colours; almond, red, orange, pink, silver, and pictured here, chocolate brown. The Grandy is a generous size, giving you ample storage for your bread products, and it is made to high standards.
It costs £73.99 and can be ordered directly from Wesco.
Remember the days when TV actually went off? Henriette Hyldgaard does – and she’s designed the TV cushion as a fitting epitaph.
Yes, based on the screen you might have seen should you have been burning the midnight oil in the 1980s (as opposed to the clown and girl from the 70s), the cushion is produced by Neon Living, made of 100 per cent cotton and has a super-soft duck-down inner.
Sized at 40 x 60cm, it’s yours for £33.

Another piece of great merchandising from the V&A’s Cold War Modern exhibition – this 60s-style Dome Umbrella.

Take your pick from the red above or pink, grey or black, all selling for a bargain £10.
