Re_Vinyl Wall clocks

Revinyl

We've featured hundreds of things made from vinyl on this site over the years, from wallets to coasters to bookends, so it's hard to believe there's much out there in the world of reclaimed vinyl to discover. That's until you take a look at the Re_Vinyl wall clocks

Pavel Sidorenko creates weird and wonderful clocks, all made from old records, in the shape of things like teapots, umbrellas, birds, cassette tapes and even odes to his native Estonia. Once you've taken your pick from that wide selection you get a further choice, between minimal or vintage style clock hands. 

Each clock costs 30 Euros, or 25 Euros if you're lucky enough to be buying within Estonia.

Vinyl Coasters at Paul Smith

Vinyl

Ok, so you don't want your table damaged by a mark off a cup or glass, but you don't want some crumby coasters kicking around either. The solution? Get some stylish coasters – like these Vinyl Coasters at Paul Smith.

Not coasters that look like vinyl, these used to be vinyl – made from abandoned/damaged records, then rescued and recycled into something for the home.

The downside of being so eco is that you don't know which coasters you'll get – depends what records dropped into the factory that day. But you do get six in a pack, with a price of £15.

Take your pick from four cassette designs, including the one above, or opt for the record deck, which you can see over the page. They might not look it, but all the mats are made of rubber, which means they should be washable and durable, with a size of around 60 x 38cm.

Prices for all are around $49.99, which is around £33.
