Campbell’s Condensed Soup returns – in an original Warhol-style tin
Good news for food and art lovers – Campbell's Condensed Soup is back on the shelves.
Well, we say food lovers. Not everyone loves the stuff. But there's an added reason why we're getting excited over the return. The cans of soup are back in Tesco from this week, in a choice of Cream of Mushroom, Cream of Tomato, Cream of Chicken and Cream of Celery, plus a Low Fat Chicken and Low Fat Mushroom, with one in particular peaking our interest.
As you can see from the image above, the mushroom is the one to grab. It comes in the original 1960s-style tin, meaning it doubles up as a piece of Warhol-style art for your kitchen. In fact, at just 50p a tin, you can grab a pile of them for displaying, especially as they have a two-year plus sell-by date. But be warned – shelves of the vintage tin are already emptying fast.

1950s-style Retro Wall Clock at Tesco
Not the typical place to find a retro gem, but this Retro Wall Clock at Tesco is certainly that – and for not a lot of money.
It's a wall clock, one that would fit perfectly into a 1950s or early 60s-inspired home, with a metal case, contrasting hands, vintage-style numbers and a choice of several colours, including the duck egg blue above.
Sized around 23.8cm across, you can pick one up online for just £10.
Tesco does a budget Pumpkin-style chair
We love the Pumpkin chair. An early 70s design classic from Pierre Paulin and originally produced for Georges Pompidou's private apartment in the Élysée Palace, this space age gem went into mass production for the very first time in 2008, appearing most recently as an annviversary edition. But with prices starting at a very minimum £900 (and usually much more), it's not cheap. So here's an alternative – the Tesco Sphere chair.
Ok, it doesn't have the finesse of the Paulin original, it just wouldn't. But it does offer up a similar profile, with a circular shape, slightly raised back and a choice of fabric or leather construction. The fabric is in red, the leather in black.
If you are trying to re-create that 70s space age look, the Sphere chair offers the shape and the style without the big price tag. How cheap? Well, the fabric chair is yours online for £144.99, the leather discounted for £129.99. Even better, Tesco has discount code on its site right now that knocks another £10 off both prices.
Tesco retro desk lamp
Tesco isn't the first place I'd go when looking for new lighting but their retro desk lamp is worth a look.
It's their budget version of the classic Anglepoise design, made from metal and using the distinctive spring hinging. It's available in either black or the red colour shown. They've also an oversized version of the lamp for sale – measuring 188cm high.
The lamp costs a bargain £20.
