The Beatles Colour Chairs

Posted on | Leave a comment

Eiffelbeatlescolour 
As well as reproductions of iconic designs, Base Classics offers a custom pop art range, which includes The Beatles Colour Chairs.

The shape of the chair is inspired by Eames’ Eiffel Chair, but rather than having a stark white seat, the face of a Beatle is imprinted against an acid bright background. There is the option to have the design printed on the back of the chair only (£250 per chair) or on both the back and front (£325 per chair). The price per chair is reduced if you buy two or more to £175 and £250 – and with this particular design, it would make sense to buy four.

For further details, visit Base Classics.

eBay watch: 1970s Krups Comfortchron Lux flip clock

Posted on | Leave a comment

Krups

A piece of old school technology, but one with a lot of character – this Krups Comfortchron Lux flip clock.

It's a German-made clock from the 1970s in a bold shade of yellow, offering the basics of time-telling via those flip digits and power via batteries or mains, so less wires if you don't want them.

It's described as being in 'used but very good' condition, as the 'battery box shows some signs of corrosion', but nothing to affect performance. Just one bid so far, taking the price to £1.99.

Posted on | Leave a comment

Esher1

It might be out of reach financially for most of us, but this six-bedroomed house on Lakeside Drive, Esher, Surrey is well worth a look for its cool modernist architecture.

It was designed back in 1975  by renowned architect Royston Summers, not just in a sought-after location, but also built on the side of a lake, one of a group of 16 houses sharing this location. A location that's subject to preservation orders for both the lake and trees, as well as being a private road.

Record Print Armchair

You may have hundreds of records you treasure, but do you love vinyl enough to give this Record Print Armchair pride of place in our lounge?

The eye-catching fabric has been designed by 009 Textiles, a West London based fabric design company. The print consists of various vinyl singles against a white background, with the labels of each record adding splashes of colour to the design. The photographs of this item don’t show the fabric in enough detail to see what the individual labels are so that we can check the credibility of music selection, which could be a big factor in whether you’d want to buy this.

The chair is available to buy from the My Deco Boutique for £2,382.

eBay watch: 1960s Angelo Mangiarotti Saffo space age table lamp

Posted on | Leave a comment

Saffa

A design that doesn't come up very often, so there's sure to be some interest in this Angelo Mangiarotti Saffo table lamp.

A great example of space age design for Artemide, it was originally produced in 1966, with this example coming with the manufacturer's decal and signed with a moulded mark to underside of base. It even comes with the original box. Nice.

For your money, you get a lamp with a hand-blown, smoked Murano glass diffuser and a chrome-plated base, not to mention plenty of style. It's sold out of France, so if you're not there, you'll need to sort out the electrics. Easy enough though. Current bidding price is £68.44.

 Inkeinteriors 

 
Inke Heiland's Vintage Wallpaper Wildlife collection has been around for some time, but what you might not have seen before is the Dutch designer's Interiors Wall Decorations.

This series consists of cut-outs of a chair, a table, two types of pot plants and various styles of lamp, which are supplied with the paste and brush to enable you to add the graphic to your wall.  They are made from vintage wallpaper, mainly from the 1970s if the predominance of green and orange florals is anything to go by, although the selection will vary as one design sells out and is replaced by another.

The table cut-out costs £50, the chair £45 and all other designs £38 from Supernice.
