Psychedelic Snuggle Dog Bed

974_psychedelic_green_snuggle_bed_mThere have been other pet beds featured here in the past, but they have tended to be high-end stuff, pet-sized reproductions of classic furniture. This one is somewhat different.

The Psychedelic Snuggle Dog Bed isn’t going to win any design awards and it is someway off being a classic, but it looks pretty comfortable, which most dogs will appreciate more than style. It comes in four different sizes and a choice of two colour schemes; blue patterned with green lining or pink patterned with pink lining – the pattern being a fabulous flower print. A matching bone-shaped cushion is provided.

Prices start at £35 for the smallest size, up to £45 for the largest on the Plush Petz website.

Feiyue Shaolin Soul vintage-style trainers

Shaolinsoul

Outside of China, the Feiyue name isn’t widely known, but in that country, it has been synonymous with casual footwear since 1920, gaining a reputation in martial arts circles in the 1930s for producing flexible and lightweight shoes.

And the shoes are still being made in China, using the same shoe-making techniques and factories that made them famous all those years ago. Some of the designs are contemporary, others, like the wonderfully-named Shaolin Soul (pictured above), have a stripped-down design with echoes of a bygone era.

And they’re priced well too – £40 a pair.

Wolfgang’s Vault psychedelic rock posters

Wolf_posters

Wolfgang’s Vault is a great site that allows you to stream classic rock concerts absolutely free. And they also sell a range of classic rock posters from the psychedelic age.

Typical are the two featured here for The Yardbirds at the Filmore Auditorium in San Francisco in 1967, with artwork by Bonnie MacLean  and The Who at Filmore East in New York in 1968, designed by Helen Hersh.

Different version are available for each, from original first prints through to more modern re-prints. And as such, the prices vary considerably – from $48 (£24) for a recent print through to nearer $2.000 (£1,000) for an original.

Lec Retro Range refrigerators

Lec_retro
Another alternative to the the ubiquitous Smeg fridge, this time from Lec, which has just launched a Retro Range of refrigerators and fridge freezers.

In terms of looks, there’s very little to choose between the models, all featuring that vintage-style look and retro handle, silver or ivory colour schemes and a wine rack, glass shelves and salad drawer. The main difference is if you want a fridge with freezer box or you want a split fridge/freezer.

Prices for the fridge with box start at £769 (which makes it considerably cheaper than a Smeg fridge), with other models slightly more expensive. See the website for a full breakdown.
