Trellick With Margo Selby bag range at People Will Always Need Plates

Posted on | Leave a comment

Trel

We saw the two collaborate on some Bus Blind fabric earlier in the year, but we haven't previously encountered Trellick With Margo Selby bag range at People Will Always Need Plates.

As the name suggests, the range is inspired by the facade of Goldfinger's iconic Trellick Tower, with a choice of colours and designs – a blowing bag, pencil case/make-up bag, purse, washbag and weekender bag. Oh yesa, there are also cushions too, which obviously aren't bags, but we'll not quibble over the detail.

The bowling bag is available in two colour options and sized at 35 x 23cm, with leather contrasting the Trellick cloth. £160 is the price for this, see the rest of the range on the website.

Midcentury-inspired Oliver Rocker by & Then Design

Posted on | Leave a comment

Oliver

It's a design team we have mentioned before, specifically with its lounge chair and cabinet collection, but the Oliver Rocker by & Then Design has slipped under our radar for some reason.

Not anymore, here it is. Inspired by 1950s Scandinavian design, this midcentury-style gem is available in both beech (pictured above) and oak, with the frame created using traditional woodworking techniques. Once complete, it is finished off with an upholstered cushion with a deep-buttoned pattern.

A timeless piece, that's for sure, it's priced from £860.

eBay watch: Original 1950s midcentury plant stand

Posted on | Leave a comment

Plant

A few of these appear on eBay and are always popular. But this original 1950s midcentury plant stand comes with a very low starting price.

Whether you use it for your plants or ornaments, it's still an eye-catching piece. The main triangular table is made of chipboard and finished with a cream Formica top with a gold and black plastic rim. The table also has three removable wooden feet placed at a slight angle, a wooden stem and three small platforms each made of chipboard with Formica tops.

The Plant Stand is described as being 'in very good vintage condition', with some 'age related scratches and marks' on the Formica tops, but nothing significant. Just 99p right now.

Hoo Hoo Owl Clock

Hoohooclock 
Whilst we can’t claim the Hoo Hoo Owl Clock as a design classic (unlike George Nelson’s Omar Owl clock from his Zootimer range), it still has a certain charm.

It is named after the sound that apparently owls make in Sweden, where the clock is made. It is made from acrylic with a walnut finish so it won’t look out of place amongst your midcentury style furniture.

The clock costs £25 from HunkyDory Home.

66721-T Table Lamp by Kaiser idell

1765 
The Kaiser idell lighting range consists of floor, wall and table lamps and pendants, but one we’ve not mentioned here before is the 66721-T Table Lamp, the smallest table lamp in the series.

It was designed by Christian Dell in 1926 and like its bigger siblings is a classic of Bauhaus design – but in miniature. It is made from steel and brass with the patented swivel joint. It stands at 25.5cm tall and is available in black, ivory or white.

Sadly, the price is far from mini, with the lamps priced £332 from Ivor Innes.

eBay watch: 1970s modernist wall clock

Posted on | Leave a comment

Modernist

Very distinctive and very much of its era – this 1970s modernist wall clock.

Produced by the London Clock Company, it has a futuristic 1970s look, aided by a face that's 'industrial brushed' plated sheet metal, with cube markers made of matt black plastic. There's also a German mechanism inside to keep it ticking over (alongside a single battery).

The seller claims it is in 'excellent condition' and 'good accurate working order', although the bottom left hand corner has a 'tiny impact dent' that is 'barely visible at all'. Fancy it? Bidding stands at £12.95.
