Loving the classic looks of this Muji Round Face alarm clock.
Those retro looks are based on a Japanese classic – the traditional street clocks you’ll see out and about in Japan’s town and cities. It has a steel frame with glossy black finish and is sized around 10 x 4cm.
Yours for £21.95.
The image to the left is Pierre Cardin’s classic space age Cosmos tunic. And the one to the right is the V&A’s exclusive Cosmos t-shirt.
The Cosmos outfit is perhaps the most famous of Cardin’s space age designs, dating back to 1967 and designed to be worn with matching ‘helmet’ and tights. The t-shirt is a little more flexible, but still comes in red, with the famous circular logo.
Made from 100 per cent cotton and available in sizes S/M and M/L, you can pre-order now for £20.
Something of an exclusive for us, as these Astro and Gordon lamps from Lamponi aren’t yet available to buy online.
You may remember Lamponi from his stylish Vespa headlight lamps and these new lamps are very much in the same style, made to order and craftsman-made with a serious attention to detail.
Two adjustable lamps (in two colours) available, both influenced by 1930s space age comics and movies of the era, sized around 70cm long and with the light located in the rear engines. Expect to pay around 500 – 600 Euros. If you want to know more, get in touch with the designer via is website.
A USB hub isn’t the most exciting of things, but the Cassette tape USB hub does liven up a fairly everyday office item.
If you need extra connectivity for your computer, just plug this in and you get an extra four USB ports to use. And you get the old school looks that are certain to impress your office buddies. Just don’t use it in your cassette deck – it’s likely to break it.
Available now, you can pick one up for £12.99.
Tommie Smith is primarily known for two things – breaking the 200m record in the Mexico Olympics and doing the famous ‘black power’ salute on the Olympics podium. And as a tribute to the man, Puma has launched the Tommie Smith Clyde trainers for the 40th anniversary.
The classic Clyde has a few new additions – an embossed gold medal heel, references to Olympic achievements on the tongue and a gold lining. The main shoe is in blue suede, but you can also pick up the shoe in a gold finish for a little more bling.
No matter which pair you go for, they retail for £79.

Topshop has added lingerie sets to the latest Celia Birtwell collection. There are three sets available to buy online, and they use the same prints as the current selection of clothing. Pictured here is the Blue Moon print (which confusingly isn’t blue at all) with sets in Micklemas and Maison Marigold designs also available.
Comprising of a camisole and a pair of mini tie-sided knickers, the sets costs £28 each. They certainly look very pretty and are a reasonable price, but unfortunately they are just made of viscose, which is a shame as a silk-mix fabric would have been preferable.
Visit the Topshop website to buy.
