Constructivists Teapot from Parasite Ceramics

Const_teapot

British housing estates have proved a surprising source of creative inspiration in recent years, with Trellick Tower adorning everthing from bags to plates. The Market Estate in Caledonian Road, North London, was demolished in 2010 but has inspired a range of products from Parasite Ceramics including this Constructivists Teapot.

A silhouette tower adorns this good-looking white fine bone china teapot, reinventing the sixties tower block as stylish design motif. Not only does the teapot look good, but crucially it's substantial enough to hold six cups of tea. Other items in the range include plates and mugs.

You can buy the teapot for £25 from Culturelabel here.

For sale: 1960s L R Barlow-designed five-bedroomed house in Haywards Heath, Sussex

Hay1

Built back in 1963, this L R Barlow-designed five-bedroomed house in Haywards Heath, Sussex is a wonderful midcentury modern property that still maintains much of its original character.

Designed for the architect's own family, the house uses glass heavily fir the front and back elevations, so we're talking light throughout. There's also a largely unspoilt exterior and an interior that generally sticks to the original look – the windows, doors and flooring all look original, as does the staircase and some of the light fittings.
