Bearded Cap – keep your facial hair warm

Posted on | Leave a comment

Beardcap
The balaclava and facial hair are about as 70s as you can get – and now you can combine the two with the Bearded Cap.

Made by Icelandic design collective Vik Prjonsdottir, it combines warmth for your head and keeps the snow off your moustache and beard, creating balaclava-like warmth, but with more space for your face to see.

They’re made from 100 per cent Icelandic will and available in three different colours and shapes. No price listed – you’ll have to contact the company via the site for one. Ad while you’re there, check out the other bizarre and quirky designs on offer.

EMI offers classic LPs as Vinyl Art

Posted on | 1 Comment

Artvinyl
EMI has done a deal with the Vinyl Art company to provide it with classic albums on vinyl for its Play and Display frames.

Classic is a loose term, there’s a few big-selling modern albums actually rubbing shoulders with albums from the Rolling Stones, David Bowie and Pink Floyd – all of which sit in the patented album frames, which have an easy release button to take out the album when you want to play. That;s why it’s a Play and Display frame.

You can check out some of the sleeves on the website, alongside other non-EMI LPs. All of which retail for £39, less if you just want a frame.

Fred_emma
British designer Emma Cook is the latest name to produce a limited edition range for Fred Perry, the pick of which is this polo shirt.

It references the classic Fred Perry polo, but adds some length and a wide neck, as well as a take on the Fred Perry laurel around that neck. It retails for £80.

Also so in a range are two dresses and a particularly nasty hoodie – you can see them all on the Fred Perry site.

Scandyna launches 40th anniversary Minipod Jubilee space age speakers

Posted on | Leave a comment

Scandya_jubilee
We featured Scandyna’s range of space age speakers some months back And if you liked the look of them, you might like the latest addition to the range – the 40th anniversary Minipod Jubilee speakers.

The 40th anniversary is for the company, not the speaker – even though the throwback design has a definite hint of the early 70s. The Minipod Jubilee is certainly a class act, limited to just 200 worldwide, each numbered and with gold-plated speaker terminals, gold spike ‘sputnik-style’ spike feet, gold Scandyna badge and Black Graphite colur scheme.

And sound-wise, they use three spheres that form one vessel to reduce distortion and vibration to produce a clearer output. The one downside is the price – a rather hefty £550.
