Following the Ethan School Desk for kids we featured earlier this week, now here is a stylish desk for grown-ups.
The House Doctor DK Wooden Desk is made of solid wood with three useful drawers. The drawers are each painted a different colour, adding to the midcentury look of the piece.
It costs £850 from Bodie and Fou. Order to today for delivery early in July.
The Lazy Bones Stool has been designed by English architect Barnaby Gunning for SLIDE Designs.
It is made from polyethylene in a choice of colours, including retro favourites white and orange and can be used indoors or out. But that’s not all – it can also have a light added to it, so it can double as lamp.
Prices start at £280 for the basic stool option. Contact Kalusto Furniture about adding the light.
Lotta Kühlhorn, whose apple patterned products we’ve highlighted in the past, has a new pattern that appears on products including this Luna Trivet.
The Luna design combines her love of 1950’s geometric patterns with suitable retro colours. The trivet itself is a handy little item, being the ideal size to rest your smaller pans or teapot on, or to use a chopping board.
It costs £17.95 from Hus and Hem, where you can also buy coasters in the same print for £13.95
We've already featured some of the quirky designs from The TeaShed, now punk graphics get something of a surprising treatment with this God Save Our Grannies cushion.
Yes, the cushion offers a new take on Jamie Reid's artwork, replace the image of the Queen with a friendly looking granny. While the Sex Pistols may have been being subversive, this cushion is entirely well-meaning, part of a campaign to encourage people to have a cup of tea with an elderly person.
The design is hand screen-printed onto the cushion, which has a duck feather filling.
The cushion costs £40.

Your little darlings are probably more likely to do their homework on a laptop than writing in an exercise book, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t still give them a good old-fashioned desk to sit at, like this Ethan School Desk.
