Danish Large Teak Commode

Posted on | Leave a comment

Teakcommode 
Back in August, we featured the Danish Teak Bedside Cabinets, which have been bestsellers for Plümo (not that we are taking all of the credit).  For their Spring 2011 Collection, they have added a variation in this Large Teak Commode.

The larger model (pictured above with the popular original) has two drawers, but still has the same curved edges and splayed legs that gave the original its popular midcentury look. Although new in to Plümo, you will have to wait a while for this item to be made, but it is probably worth the wait.

Buy the Teak Commode from Plümo for £398.

Penelope

Ok, stick with me on this one. The Kaiser idell Table Lamp 6631 is an original Bauhaus design, recently reissued for the modern era and available to you for a hefty £601. if you want a similar look for a fraction of the price, check out the John Lewis Penelope task lamp.

It's new in at John Lewis and is incredibly like the Bauhaus original, perfect for adding some modernist style to your home for very little outlay. Available in cream or white, it has a a metal bowl shade and circular base, joined by a C-shaped stem. Love that vintage-style switch too.

All of that for just £40.

House Industries x Heath Ceramics Eames house numbers

Posted on | Leave a comment

Eames1

This is something of a 'coming soon', but these House Industries x Heath Ceramics Eames house numbers are coming very soon.

Yes, those nasty brass house numbers on your outer wall can be converted into something that's both midcentury and utterly cool, a range of numbers using the Eames Century Modern font, sized at 6 x 6 inches (so pretty big) and printed on clay tiles with a matte glazed finish.

They'll be available in late spring directly from the Heath site, priced at $45 each. Another shot over the page.
