Arte Espina Hippy Chick Rugs

0006-52-floor

Arte Espina have created a selection of rugs exclusively for Funky Rug, with the name of “Hippy Chick”.

As the name suggests, these are inspired with psychedelic patterns and hippie emblems. They feature flowers, butterflies, stars, moon, CND signs and of course, the words “Peace and “Love”. The rugs are so colourful, the word vibrant doesn’t do them justice. They certainly make a statement, but whether or not it is the sort of statement you’d want to make in your own home is another matter!

They are made from premium quality New Zealand wool and silk with prices starting from around £725. .Visit the Funky Rugs website to view the whole collection.

Adidas_vespa

We featured the Adidas Vespa trainers a shirt while back, but now there's some clothing too – including the Adidas Vespa track top.

A typical vintage track top, with classic Adidas stripes and logo, along with branded arm vents and high collar. But as it's also a Vespa collaboration, it's also got the Vespa logo on the breast, as well as a large stitched Vespa logo on the back – check that out over the page.

Strictly limited numbers, you can pick one up for £69.

Hangup

Loving the clever design of these hangUP Arcade coat hooks.

They're handmade, using genuine arcade parts, built into a real wood plaque, with a choice of colour for the joystick (black, red, blue, green, pink, yellow and white). There's also the option of choosing how many 'players' you want – three or four, both with corresponding button.

And best of all, it's an affordable piece of design too. A 3UP hook sells for £31.99, while the 4UP is yours for £34.99, both including UK delivery.
