Clover coasters from Pryl design

Posted on | Leave a comment

Clovercoasters

These clover coasters from Pryl design are almost too eyecatching for resting your cup of tea on.  

Designed by Julia Nielsen for the Swedish company, the classic four leaf clover is transformed into a psychedelic design which looks like it has been drawn from the late 1960s, rather than 2011. The clover design comes in three eye-popping colours, all printed onto triangular laminated birchwood – perfect for cheering up a dull table or desktop. 

A set of three costs £12.

eBay watch: 1960s chrome plant stand

Posted on | Leave a comment

Plant

If you've got a 60s-inspired room and want something with impact for a corner, this 1960s chrome plant stand could be just the thing.

It's unusual, most plant stands we see are of the 1950s / formica variety, rather than this one, which almost certainly from the '60s or early 1970s. The chrome frame stands around 38 inches tall, with those chromes arms featuring 'smoked' plastic stands at the end of each arm, four in total.

The chrome is said to be in good condition, aside from light pitting through age, while one of the plastic stands has a chip, which is highlighted on the images. £15.50 is the current price, if you want it in your home.
