Adidas Consortium Samba trainers with cord and suede finish

Samba_cord

The Adidas Samba is arguably the most famous Adidas trainer, first introduced in 1950 for playing football on icy ground, but since re-incarnated in various finishes for the fashion market. The latest of which is this Adidas Consortium Samba in cord and suede.

Reissued as part of the Consortium range (like the earlier-featured Forest Hills), the shoe mixes tan and black, as well as corduroy and suede, to create a new twist on a classic.

Just 390 pairs worldwide, priced at £65.

Double Bubble Table Lamp

BubblelampThe Double Bubble Table Lamp has clearly been influenced by the space-age designs of the 1960s.

As its name suggests, it has a bubble shape and is made from stainless steel with a reflective chrome finish. There isn’t a lot more to be said about this lamp, but the price is worth mentioning. It costs just £30 which seems like quite a bargain.

It can be bought online from the Home Temptations website.

Battleship Napkins

BattleshipsBarnaby Barford & Andre Klauser have produced a small collection of products inspired by simple childhood games. You’ve probably already seen the Solitaire Olive Dish which lots of shops seem to be selling, but I’ve only just discovered their Battleship Napkins.

The game Battleship involves trying to locate and sink your opponent’s battleship using grid references, but if you’ve forgotten how to play it, these napkins have the rules printed on one side.

They are available from Thorsten Van Elten for £9.50 for a pack of 100, which should give you plenty of practice.

Seventies-style Malene Birger dress

33175_in_lWhile fashion has been touching upon the more obvious ends of seventies fashion with flared jeans and chunky brown leathers, there’s room left in the retro wardrobe for some true seventies glamour.

This Malene Birger Chiarina tunic dress is a perfect example of vintage inspired couture. The geometric print and unmistakably seventies colour palette work alongside the tunic style to make this fit for any well turned out lady of the decade. This dress can be dressed up or down too, as it’d be perfect over jeans to get the most out of a great piece during the day.

It’s available online from Net-a-Porter and costs £200.
