Paul Frank Brea coat for Spring/Summer

7768584890d

Another very lovely Spring coat for you all to pore over, this time the retro edged number is from Paul Frank, and it’s pretty darn cute if a little impractical.

The Brea coat is a bit of an oddity due to its short sleeves, but maybe that could be a plus. The big buttons on the double breasted cut and the A-line make this a pretty safe take on most 60s ladies coats – whether or not the plaid is at odds with the rest of the design is up to you.

It’s also available in navy check and plain black, all at $61.95 from Zappos online.

Typhoon Classic Retro Juicer

35615Typhoon has some great kitchenware including the Capsule collection featured here recently. The latest addition to the range they call the Retro Collection is the Classic Retro Juicer, which is a product I’ve not seen in other similar ranges.

It is available in a choice of four suitably old-fashioned sounding colours; Vanilla Cream, Limousine Black, Limousine White and Buick Red. Unlike modern juicers that comprise of umpteen parts and cost a small fortune, the retro juicer is simply to use, producing orange juice with the press of a handle. Obviously it only worked with citrus fruits – if you want to make a health shake with wheatgrass, you’ll need something more advanced.

The retro juicer costs £20 from the Typhoon website.

Reissued Race Rocker in Vintage Fabric

Race_chair
Some time ago we featured the Clarissa Hulse-upholstered Race Chair, a made to order reissue of the British classic with a made to order price. Well, this British classic has now had a wider reissue by Retrouvius as the Race Rocker in Vintage Fabric.

This is still very much the classic piece of mid-century British design, faithful to Ernest Race’s original 1948 specifications and manufactured exclusively for Retrouvius by Race Furniture. And just to boost the period feel, the chairs have been upholstered in specially sourced post-war vintage fabric (a choice is available).

The chair retails for £465 plus VAT, with a more basic linen version available for £395 plus VAT.

Based Upon introduces limited edition Hara Chair in metal

Hara
We featured the Hara Chair some time back, a modern chair by Giorgio Gurioli based very much on the 60s space age ethic. The original wasn’t cheap by any standards at £950, but the limited edition Hara Chair by Based Upon could warrant a chat with the bank manager.

The original was chosen by GQ Magazine as one of the ‘100 best things in the world’. They might get even more excited about the new version as there’s just 10 being made, each one ditching the plastic for metal – an ‘antique silver’ finish that’s actually a unique and complex alloy of five different metals.

And that exclusivity costs – the Based Upon Hara Chair retails for £4,995.
