Hanna Melin Play A Song For Me tote bag

Hann_bag
Hanna Melin apparently collects things. Not only that, she draws the things she collects – and that includes old cassettes, featured here on the Hanna Melin Play A Song For Me tote bag.

This 100 per cent organic cotton tote bag features blue pencil drawings of old mix tapes, all of which have some kind of sentimental value to the artist – even of they don’t get played anymore.

If you’re looking for something to replace the plastic bag, it retails for £9.95.

New retro lines available at Warehouse

Warehouse

More retro inspiration on the high street for your delectation, this time courtesy of Warehouse. Two lines, called quite simply Retro Chic and 70s Chic, feature great staple items and a few special pieces too.

Mainly focusing on silhouette pieces, like 50s-style pencil skirts, there’s plenty of lovely stuff, if nothing particularly inspired. Among all that there’s a couple of print tops that are standard, though pretty, retro fare from our high streets.

Candy Task Lamp

CandytasklampThe Candy Task Lamp by Afroditi Krassa is another piece of design, that although modern, was clearly influenced by past design movements, particularly modernism.

It is available with a red base too, but I think the black version picture here is more stylish and it would sit well within a retro lounge or office space.

It is available exclusively at John Lewis and costs £70. Visit the John Lewis website to buy online.

Alessi classic Wire Bowl

Alessi_bowl_2
When something has been in production for 50 years, I think we can safely say it’s become a design classic. And that’s the case with the Alessi classic Wire Bowl.

A fairly unassuming design, but one that’s been around since 1948. In fact, those plain looks are probably the reason why it’s been a continued seller for all those years. Made of stainless steel, it’s ideal for your fruit or indeed for somewhere to throw your keys and assorted bits and pieces that clutter up the room.

Two sizes available, with prices starting at £42.
