What do you get if you cross a phone with a light? Something like this Bakelite Telephone Lamp.
Designed by Jericho Hands, this is a restored vintage Bakelite telephone, but with a twist – the mouth and ear piece has been turned into a fully functioning light and is totally manoeuverable thanks to a flexible arm.
It’s as much a piece of home design as it is functioning light, as well as being a limited edition, individually numbered and stamped with the artist’s name. You can pick one up for £360.
There’s a whole world of Scandinavian ornaments out there waiting to be discovered, but it can be daunting if you don’t know where to begin and prices for originals can be pretty steep. A good place to start a collection could be with Oiva Toikka’s Owls. 
Many a time I have pored over beautiful fashion shots in magazines, and there is little more iconic than the vintage fashion shoots of Twiggy, Brigitte Bardot and their contemporaries. The same goes for the fashion drawings that graced magazines throughout the sixties, seen often in their great dress pattern features.
