Two suede reissues of the Adidas Spezial trainers

Posted on | 1 Comment

Spez2

A 1970s classic is back on the market in two colours of suede – the Adidas Spezial trainers.

Originally created for that niche sport of handball back in 1979, it was soon picked up for the terraces and has been a pretty popular choice ever since. This reissue has a suede upper, matched with a perforated gum sole for extra cushioning, finished off with gold branding and 'oval' laces.

Take your pick from the navy and Argentina blue above or a blue and white pictured over the page. Both retail for £55.

Kangourou_01_500
Gubi are offering a re-issue of a witty design dating back to the 1950s, this Kangaroo table by Mathieu Mategot.

The design dates to 1954 and is made from perforated steel. Why a kangaroo? Well, take a look – this table is in fact made up of two tables, one fitting inside the other one – just like a kangaroo carries her joey in her pouch. 

Available in five different colourways, the table costs £272.

Vintage

Not just one old TV, this a collection of four vintage televisions.

If you want to get up close and personal, see the listing page for larger images of all the sets, all of which are described as being in 'excellent' condition, with the odd bit of discolouration and some wear through age. But nothing serious, with all the sets working.

For your money, you get a Philips G17T320-02, stood on that tulip base, along with the JVC Videosphere, complete with base and hanging chain, a Sony 9-90UB TV from 1969 and that orange Loewe TV from the early 1970s. Bidding stands at £399.

eBay watch: Reissued Harvey Guzzini Sorella space age table lamp by Nemo

Posted on | 3 Comments

Sor1

Not the first time we've featured the design, as the Sorella table lamp by Harvey Guzzini has been something of a space age holy grail in the past. Not so anymore, as Nemo has bought the rights to this classic 1970s lamp and is selling official reissues right now.

Which essentially means much the same lamp for a fraction of the cost – these angled lamps tended to go for hundreds on eBay on good condition. If you aren't familiar with the Sorella, you don't watch enough old films and TV – this 1972 'Studio Tecnico Harvey' design featured prominently in the likes of Space 1999 and James Bond's Moonraker and still retains that futuristic look today.

Best of all with the new ones is the colour, no age discolouration here and of course, all the electrics will be checked and ready to go. Not too many sellers around in the UK, but Glasgow-based Spatial Lighting are official Nemo dealers and have stock of the new light right now, which they are selling at a fixed price online via eBay. A little cheaper than most too at £120. See the lamp 'in action' in Space 1999 over the page.
