3D VW Camper Van Coffee Mugs

01522-1

There are other mugs on the market featuring the VW vehicles, but others don’t jump out at you in quite the same way as the VW Camper Van Mugs by Blue Witch. Part of the design is in 3D with the van coming off the mug.

The camper van design is available in a choice of yellow, red or blue, all handmade and dishwasher safe. There are also other classic vehicle designs available including a red mini, VW beetle in red, blue or black and a vespa scooter.

All the mugs cost £16 from Blue Witch

Jonas Damon 2B limited edition Vacuum Tube Radio now available to buy

2b_tube

We featured this some time back when it was just a prototype, but now the Jonas Damon 2B Vacuum Tube Radio is available to buy as a limited edition.

Beneath that retro-styled casing is something distinctly vintage – vacuum tubes – which promise that 'big, warm, radiant sound' you'll not hear from your average modern-day radio. You can even take the back off and watch those valves in action too.

There's a choice of AM and FM bands, with a total output of around 8.5w and connectivity for your iPod or MP3 player. Check out the full technical spec over at the website, then brace yourself for the price – a hefty $550 (which is around £372).

Pierre Paulin 1960s Le Chat lounge chair

Lechat

You don't need me to tell you that this is a chair from the 60s – the upholstery on the Pierre Paulin Le Chat lounge chair already says it.

Dating back to 1967, the Le Chat is quirky, but it's actually designed for your body – with those curves offering plenty of support for your curves, with the cushioned frame also offering a comfortable place to relax.

You don't need to go for the swirly design, plain options are available too. But somehow they don't quite hit the mark in the same way. No matter what fabric you go for, the price is the same – just over £1,300.

Adidas Forest Hills Tournament Edition

Adidas_forest

Following on from its Consortium remake, the Adidas Forest Hills is the last of the reissued tennis shoes to get the premium Tournament Edition.

This 70s shoe is probably an acquired taste, especially with that rubber toe cap and perforated toe box. Strange, but actually quite scientific – the she's ventilation system was actually developed by NASA.

Like previous Tournament issues, the Forest Hills has a premium leather upper, a Tournament Edition presentation box and limited availability.  You can pre-order yours now for £89.

House of Fraser Sputnik-style Icicle pendant light

Icicle

Reminiscent of the mid-century Sputnik light, this House of Fraser Icicle pendant light replaces the arms and balls for something a little more icy.

A chrome centre holds all of those moulded clear glass 'Icicle' arms, shooting out like an explosion. But unlike the Sputnik, this particular light needs just one bulb for illumination -  a 20W low voltage capsule bulb.

Not cheap at £172.50, but it's actually in the sale right now, having previously been £345. So something of a bargain.
