Candy Necklace – silver and gold plated

Candy_necklace
Remember those chains of sweets you could wear round your neck as a child? Well, here’s one you can’t eat – unless you want to lose your teeth in the process.

The Candy Necklace is based on that childhood sweet, but replaces the hard sugary blocks with something of more value – gold and silver plated ‘candy’. Is the chain still a piece of cheap elastic? We can’t tell for sure, but we suspect it’s that or a piece of cotton.

Either way, it’s available online from the ever-creative Atypyk, priced at 85 Euros, which is around £60.

Habitat’s Girl On A Motorcycle movie canvas poster

Motorcycle

The film might not be very good, but the poster for Girl On A Motorcycle is an iconic image of the 1960s. And it’s available to buy from Habitat as a canvas print.

It features the one memorable thing from the 1968 flick – Marianne Faithfull’s leather catsuit, which she slips on to ride her motorbike over the border to Germany to see her ‘other man’ – Alain Delon.

Still an image with impact, you can buy it instore or online for £85.

Isamu Noguchi coffee table by Vitra

Noguchi_coffee

I’m getting slightly obsessed with the designs on Isamu Noguchi, not least because they look so far ahead of their time. The Isamu Noguchi coffee table was designed in 1944 – and this reissue from Vitra over 60 years later still looks as sharp and modern as anything in your living room.

Available with a choice of varnished wooden base (black ash, maple, or walnut), this symmetrical/organic design features a heavy glass surface sat on two interlocking and identical base elements – creating something that’s as much sculpture as furniture.

Prices vary dependent on your finish, but start at £930.

Mona Lisa Clock

MonalisaProbably the most famous painting in the world, The Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci has intrigued people across the world for generations. Now someone has made the image into a clock!

The Mona Lisa clock has the enigmatic lady printed onto aluminium and the clock hands cut out of the image. At certain times of the day, the picture is briefly complete, but at others it takes on an altogether more surreal appearance.

I’m not sure I’d want it in my lounge, but if you like it, It is available to buy from Pop UK for £29.
