Coffee Time print by Laura Amiss

Posted on | Leave a comment

Dandelion clocks print

We've shown you prints that are inspired by some great retro designs before. This Coffee Time print by Laura Amiss features one of our favourite – and one of the most popular – designs of recent time: Dandelion Clocks by Sanderson.

Laura is based in Amsterdam and has produced a simple A4-sized print that plays up the fifties looks of the design: if you can't quite afford the wallpaper, this is surely a nice compromise. 

It's certainly a lot cheaper as the print costs just 12 euros.

Pris1

We have featured both Piper Gates Design and its artwork for The Prisoner before, but this is something worth mentioning – a set of eight posters featuring The Prisoner, the sets limited to a run of 50.

As you can (or might remember), the artwork is a mix of The Prisoner and vintage Penguin books, combining to create something eye-catching and retro. This particular set features eight designs on posters measuring 30 x 40cm, printed on high quality 200 gram paper and in those limited numbers.

You can buy a set online via eBay for the rather tasty price of just £12.99. See some close-ups over the page.

BT Tower IV by Stefi Orazi

BT Tower metal

Stefi Orazi is no stranger to this site and neither will be the architectural icon in her latest print: BT Tower IV.

While other variants on the print have shown the tower at night, in the day and even using glow-in-the-dark ink, this is possibly its glitziest incarnation yet – printed with metallic foil. Stefi has also stated it'll be the last in this series so, if you've previously missed out, we advise snapping up one of the 100 in the edition now. 

The print costs £85.

Delia Derbyshire poster by Piper Gates Design

Delia

From the people who gave us the likes of the Joy Division and Syd Barrett colouring books, not to mention the Prisoner and Bedazzled posters comes the Delia Derbyshire poster by Piper Gates Design.

Who is Delia Derbyshire you ask? Well, you're unlikely to know unless you are a Doctor Who or vintage electronica fan. She was a pioneer of the latter and best-known for her work as part of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, where she produced the famous Doctor Who theme, amongst other things.

This suitably '60s poster is limited to 45 copies, sized at 500mm x 700mm and printed on very high quality 194 gram paper, each one signed by the artist. £22.99 gets you one. See a shot of the poster on a wall over the page.

Jane Foster London print

Posted on | Leave a comment

Foster-jane-london

Jane Foster's bright and cheerful retro textiles and designs are always a delight, and her new London print doesn't disappoint.

It uses a very simple design to illustrate London: Big Ben, the London Eye and a London bus. The print is enlivened by the application of some of her colourful 1960s/70s patterns to the outline of the objects making London suddenly look like a lot happier place. There's also a similar print available of Paris, showing a Citroen 2CV parked outside the Eiffel Tower.

A 40 x 50cm print will set you back £14.99.
