Albany Catwalk retro clocks wallpaper

Albany clocks

The new Albany Catwalk wallpaper collection features this striking design, based around five different retro clocks.

The clocks range from the very distinctive Vitra ball clock style design and a mid-century starburst number, to more neutral minimal designs.

This black and white is the most subdued of the colour combinations available: you can also get this design as metallic teal printed clocks on black, or metallic orange on a chocolate brown background. Those two colourways certainly have more of a retro feel, but possibly have too much impact for the average room. 

The wallpaper costs £19.99 a roll.

Starburst Embellished Vest from Miss Selfridge

Starburstvest

When perfecting the pre-war aesthetic in fashion, it's all about perfecting the line between luxury and subtlety, a look exemplified by the flapper trend of the twenties and thirties. This Starburst Embellished Vest from Miss Selfridge provides a modern look back at the era, with plenty of vintage inspired details.

The beading and embellishment taps into the unbridled luxury of the decadent twenties, without falling for tackiness thanks to the muted colour palette throughout. The loose fit of the top allows for a small amount of revealing flesh, while maintaining the boyish figure effect that characterised much flapper fashion.

It's available now from Miss Selfridge for £45.

For an idea of prices, the side table costs for £90, while the wall console retails for £250.

Starburst wall decor

Starburst wall

Think sunburst/starburst designs and you are probably imagining a clock or a mirror from the mid-modern period. Wallter, the people behind the bubble rack we featured last week, have used this motif to create this Starburst wall decor

Rather than being another wall sticker, it's a wood based 3D creation and it's made ready for painting with the colour of your choice. It comes in two sizes with two prices: either just over 60cm in diameter for $142 or, for a dramatic statement and a higher cost, approximately 112cm for $300.
