The Brackley Wallpaper perhaps doesn’t scream 1950s in the way that some of Sanderson’s other designs do, but it is the genuine article from their archives.

Coffee Time print by Laura Amiss
We've shown you prints that are inspired by some great retro designs before. This Coffee Time print by Laura Amiss features one of our favourite – and one of the most popular – designs of recent time: Dandelion Clocks by Sanderson.
Laura is based in Amsterdam and has produced a simple A4-sized print that plays up the fifties looks of the design: if you can't quite afford the wallpaper, this is surely a nice compromise.
It's certainly a lot cheaper as the print costs just 12 euros.

Sanderson Miro Wallpaper
If you are beginning to tire of the ubiquity of Sanderson’s Dandelion print on every imaginable product, then perhaps the Sanderson Miro Wallpaper is a good alternative.
Like the Dandelion print, this is another of Sanderson’s designs from the 1950s, originally from a Sanderson cotton. It features a stylised leaf trail, centred vertically on the paper, with the leaves in various complementary colourways, such as red/gold, teal/orange and oyster/chocolate.
The wallpaper costs £32 per roll from John Lewis.
Midcentury-style Dinky sofa and Dinky armchair in Sanderson Festival fabric at Heal’s
A two for one feature for Heal’s designs with both the Dinky sofa and Dinky armchair in Sanderson Festival fabric being very stylish midcentury-style gems.
Both are exclusives to Heal’s, the amrchair above described as being ‘Dinky by name and by nature’, with a small footprint, small foam seat and high back, with those angled wooden legs in either a natural or dark stain. Incidentally, it’s also available in Heal’s reinterpretation of Lucienne Day’s Calyx and a plain citrus fabric too. If you want one of these UK-made armchairs, they’re available online from £1,170. It’s not the only item in the range though.
John Lewis midcentury-style Radio Chair now available in Sanderson Festival fabric
We have featured this in a different finish, but the John Lewis midcentury-style Radio Chair is now available in the Sanderson Festival fabric.
The same 50s/60s features are still here, including the tapered, splayed birch legs, plus a softly rounded backrest and seat filling that are said to offer 'just the right support and comfort', not to mention plenty of style.
Only now you can get it upholstered in this retro-styled and colourful Sanderson Festival cotton fabric. Want one? You can secure one for £1,100.
Sanderson 150th anniversary Skier cushion
Last year was the 150th anniversary of Sanderson and we featured many of the products produced as part of their celebration, including the range of cushions produced using some of their textile designs. Their range has also expanded beyond this, to include designs based on ephemera in the Sanderson archive, such as this skier cushion.
The cushion is based on an invite to an early Sanderson bash and also features an appealing illustration showing a skier against a wintery background. There's no year given on the invite but it looks like it dates right back to the early days of the company. If you like this, there's also another design based on an Edwardian design for the company.
Made from linen, the cushion costs £35.
