Deco-inspired Alto wallpaper at Urban Outfitters

Posted on | Leave a comment

Nouveau paper

Here's a Art Deco-inspired design updated for the twenty-first century with the Alto wallpaper from Urban Outfitters. 

The design, from a company called Temparer, uses a distinctive Deco pattern, which is reproduced in a bright red colour against powder blue. The actual definition of wallpaper has been updated too: it comes with self-adhesive backing to make it easy to apply and also to take down when you get a bit bored of it. 

The paper comes in rolls of 10m long for £78 each.

Martini

Fancy a splash of a bygone era on your wall? You might want to investigate this art deco-style Martini artwork at John Lewis.

An old advertising poster from the 1930s recreated and sold exclusively at John Lewis, the image is printed directly onto canvas, with a choice of print size and the option of a frame.

Obviously that means prices vary too, but the entry-level price for the 40 x 50cm print is £50.

Marty teapot 2

The wealth of the London Transport Museum advertising archives has been dipped into again, to produce this Deco-style teapot. It's part of a new tableware range based around the 1930s posters by Andre Edouard Marty. 

The illustration on the porcelain teapot comes from the poster 'As We Dance Around', commissioned for the Underground Electric Railways Company Limited. It was produced in 1931 and the shape of the pot draws inspiration from this period. 

Separate cups and milk jugs are available, each with a similar look. Each product comes in an presentation box which gives further details on the posters and artist and makes it an ideal gift for any elegant, tea-supping types you may know. 

The teapot costs £32.99.

You can rely on Graham and Green to provide a touch of glamour to your home and this Art Deco side table from their Spring range is no exception.

The table is as alluring as you'd expect from the name, with a circular top and base, joined by tulip-shaped stems. In tribute to the Deco style, the stems are mirrored. The only question is whether the rest of your lounge is sophisticated enough to go with it…

It costs £235 from their website

Coquet tea

This tea set, designed by Sylvie Coquet for Couture lab, offers an extremely luxurious way to serve a cuppa – with added Art Deco style too. 

The hand-made set includes four cups and saucers and a serving pot. A metallic glaze has been used on the pot and the saucers and those elegant handles are gold plated. 

It looks pretty expensive and it is expensive too: the set costs £593. Perhaps not one for everyday use then…

Cafetiere_Munro

Does an Art Deco-style coffee set by Nick Munro sound familiar? Well, that would be because we featured his Geo coffee set for John Lewis a little while back. That had the advantage of good looks and a high-street price but if you fancy a deluxe version with similar aesthetic, take a look at this cafetiere set he's designed for Linley.

The set contains a cafetiere, cream jug and a sugar bowl all made from sleek pewter. Rosewood handles complement the design. The whole set is presented on a rosewood tray. 

As you may have guessed, this set doesn't come cheap at £975. However, it is a classic and should last you through many happy and stylish cups of coffee.
