Penguin on the road flask
This classic On the Road Penguin flask pictures the iconic book cover, written by Jack Kerouac in the 1950s.

Inspiring beatnik teenagers everywhere to set off and explore, escaping the restrictions of authority, this thermo-flask is a handy travelling companion Kerouac himself would have been proud of.

Mummola print by Sanna Annukka

Mummola2
New designs from Sanna Annukka are always worthy of note and this Mummola print is an especially nice addition to her shop.

The print is more literal than some of her designs showing a busy stove and well-stacked shelves. Apparently influenced by the memory of her grandmother's kitchen, the colourful pots and pans are inspired by her own collection and will appeal to anyone who has amassed a similar collection. 

Printed as a five colour silk screen, the edition is limited to 75 so, if you like it, you'd better snap it up now. 

The print costs £195.

Pina bread bag from Zara Home

Pina
Zara Home isn't normally known for their retro-inspired designs but this Pina bread bag is a pleasant exception to their usual style.

The bag is decorated with an original print that's full of 1950s charm. The print depicts suitably foodie images, such as a fruit bowl and a pepper mill and vinegar bottle. It's executed in a simple colour scheme of greens, browns and black which adds to the vintage feel. 

The bread bag is made from a flax/linen and cotton mix and, if you like this print, it's also available on oven gloves and a tea towel. 

The bag costs £19.99.

Joseph Joseph are well known for their colourful worktop saver designs and this Vibrant Vegetable design is no exception. It's part of Linea range at House of Fraser that we featured a little while back.

The board is decorated with colourful, stylised vegetables illustrations that have something of an early 70s feel. That's the looks taken care of then but the board is also practical, made from heat-resistant toughened glass. 

Even better is the news that it's currently on sale, reduced to £10.80.
