Unlike a lot of retro-influenced wallpapers we feature, this Soma wallpaper from Basso & Brooke takes it's inspiration from modernism.

John Lewis modernist-style Penelope Task Lamp
We've featured a few of the Kaiser idell modernist reissue lamps of late, but even the smallest of the range is a bit hefty in price. So thank goodness for the John Lewis Penelope Task Lamp.
66721-T Table Lamp by Kaiser idell
The Kaiser idell lighting range consists of floor, wall and table lamps and pendants, but one we’ve not mentioned here before is the 66721-T Table Lamp, the smallest table lamp in the series.
It was designed by Christian Dell in 1926 and like its bigger siblings is a classic of Bauhaus design – but in miniature. It is made from steel and brass with the patented swivel joint. It stands at 25.5cm tall and is available in black, ivory or white.
Sadly, the price is far from mini, with the lamps priced £332 from Ivor Innes.
Mociun reusable carrier bags from Baggu
Doing our bit for the environment in style by using our own carrier bags has never been easier.
This new range of reusable carrier bags from Baggu is designed by Caitlin Mociun. Inspired by the principles of the Bauhaus school, Mociun is known for producing environmentally friendly fabrics adorned with modernist patterns and has designed four custom prints for Baggu ('Blocks' & 'Symbols' pictured). These versatile, hard-wearing bags are not only pieces of art in their own right but an essential you'll never leave home without.
$12 each from the Baggu website.
Bauhaus Archive app brings modernism to the iPhone
It seems right that a cutting-edge design and architectural movement of the past has its own smartphone presence, as is the case with the Bauhaus Archive iPhone app.
According to Dexigner, this is an official app for both iPhone and iPod touch that opens up the Bauhaus archive via the exhibition The Bauhaus Collection: Originals of Classic Modernism. Over 100 images, along with commentary in English or German, some context as to what the Bauhaus movement achieved and some visitor information, should you fancy seeing the real thing in Berlin.
Best of all, it's a free download. Always a good thing.
Kaiser Idell 6556-super floor lamp
We've featured a Kaiser Idell table lamp before, but here's another imposing piece of twentieth century design, the 6556-super floor lamp.
Like the table lamp, it was designed by Christian Dell, an industrial designer at the Bauhaus and first produced back in the 1930s. It also shares that lamp's classic modernist good looks and is made from steel and brass. Take your pick from a black or white version.
The lamp costs £614.
