There’s been rather a lot of dresses on here lately, but one more can hardly hurt. It seems that the big name designers have been going mad for ’70s influences this season, a perfect example being this Silk Tunic Dress from Hanii Y.
The print is clearly inspired by that old late 60s/early 70s folk look. The tunic shape is a great one for wearing over jeans or on its own in Summer.
With the rather hefty price tag of £370 you’re going to have to get your money’s worth, after all.
If you’re after a typically 70s vibe in your home or just in a single room, one of Hunky Dory Home’s 70s-style lampshades should add to the look.
There’s a number of shades to choose from, all with the look of bright 70s or retro wallpaper. The two featured above are the Graphic Rosy pendant drum and the Big Hearts pendant drum – both handmade and both made of cotton.
Prices start from around £22, depending on design and size.
Another retro-styled piece of art from the Keep Calm Gallery, this time the Wake Up and Smell The Coffee print.
Based on an Americanism this time (rather than a typically British saying), this is a hand-pulled screenprint in a limited edition of 100, printed on thick antique-white 100% recycled paper and measuring 18 x 14 inches.
It retails for £20.
If you liked the Zzo chair from earlier this week, there’s a good chance you’ll also appreciate the Charla Chair by Brazilian designer Sergio Fahrer.
Like the Zza, the Charla Chair gives more than a nod to some mid-century classics, with that eucalyptus and wengue veneer (from sustainable forests), organic leather upholstery and chrome swivel stand.
Possibly a future design classic and with a price to match at £1,950.
Second pillowcase of the day and indeed the Boombox pillowcase set is the second boombox-related product we have featured this week.
The white pillowcases are printed with black images of old school decks, both sized at 32 x 20 inches and made of cotton and nylon.
They sell online at the US-version of Urban Outfitters for $24 (around £12). Not sure about the UK availability, maybe check with your local branch.

Look familiar? Well, at first glance you would guess this is the Panton Chair. But it’s actually a subtle take on that same chair by Dwell.
An official re-edition of this 60s classic from Vitra would set you back around £170. The Dwell edition, which is similar in shape and size is a fraction of the cost, made from ABS plastic and is available in a choice of white, black and red.
You can buy one for £45.
