New from Vinylux is the Vinyl Picture Frame. You may remember their coasters that we featured a while ago and it looks like this is what was made from what was left over from creating those.
The centre of the record has been removed (to make coasters) and then the remaining vinyl has been trimmed to create a picture frame. It can be wall mounted or stood and will hold a 5 x 5 picture.

It could be straight off the set of Space 1999, but the Zanotta Dora armchair is actually a 2005 design, the work of Ludovica and Roberto Palomba.
Designed for use around a table or as a standalone seat in its own right, the Dora consists of a polyethylene frame, with optional floral decorations or if you prefer, with a glossy lacquered finish. And as it’s essentially plastic, you can use as the coolest outdoor chair on the block.
Prices start at £317.13.

You may recall Biba founder Barbara Hulanicki doing a wallpaper range for Habitat back in 2006. Well, she’s at it again, this time producing a wallpaper range for Graham & Brown.
And it’s very much inspired by the designs from the Biba store at its 70s height, those interlocking images (like the Viva above) available in light shades or a much more imposing black and silver. if that’s a bit much, a Diva range tones things down in both colouring and pattern.
Available now, the designs sell for £30 per roll.

External/outdoor lights tend to be pretty grim affairs – check your local B&Q if you want evidence. That’s certainly not the case with the Luceplan Sky light.
Designed by Alfredo Häberli and available in three colours (white, chestnut or plain aluminium), it offers 70s space age style for our outdoor space. Weatherproofing is via the aluminium casing, matched with a transparent polycarbonate diffuser and fluorescent bulb (included) for energy-saving light.
You can also use it indoors as either a ceiling or wall light. Whatever you choose, the price is the same – £260.
The Sultan Dog Stool is a new product from French designers Ibride, but it wouldn’t look out of place amongst the designs by the Surrealists.
Made from high pressure laminate, the stool has legs that are shaped unmistakeably like a canine’s lower half. It is available in a choice of black or red and can also be used as a side table.
It costs £145 from Abode Living.
