Vitra special edition George Nelson Ball Clock

Nelson_anniversary

We featured this some time back, but the above is no ordinary George Nelson Ball Clock.

This is actually a special edition Ball Clock, designed to celebrate the centenary of George Nelson’s birth. What’s the difference? Well, this particular take on the 1948 classic features black wooden balls and a more authentic brass casing, but still remains faithful to the original design.

Certain to be more collectable than the average reissue, it also commands a higher price – £216 compared to £169. You can order now from the ever-reliable Utility Design.

If you know any footballers with a love of art deco design, you might want to point them in the direction of White Gables in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire.

But look up close and you’ll see an over-stylised interior  and a seriously high price, both of which will appeal to your average Premier League player – and leave the rest of us running a mile.

Sega Mega Drive 20th anniversary tote bag

Megadrive_bag

Is it really 20 years since the Sega Mega Drive adorned our bedrooms? Apparently so – and to celebrate, the Sega Mega Drive 20th anniversary tote bag has been introduced.

Sadly, this is Japan only (officially), although there is a US mail order outlet too with worldwide shipping. More on that later, first the bag. It’s an oversized tote, with enough room for a vintage console and much more besides. The detailing of course, is the Mega Drive itself, with an extra side pocket in the cartridge slot.

It’s a head-turner and you can bag one from Himeya Shop for $55, plus the cost of shipping to your particular country. Don’t hang around – these are sure to sell out quickly.
