Elle Deco Sanna Annukka mug for Shelter

Posted on | Leave a comment

Shelter mug

Good cause, great design and an opportunity for a nice cup of tea – what's not to like about the Elle Deco Sanna Annukka mug produced to raise money for Shelter? 

One of several artists asked by Elle Deco to contribute to this project to raise money for the charity, Sanna Annukka's folk-inspired designs are no stranger to this site and this limited edition mug reflects her style. Apparently she looked to summer flowers for her inspiration and it has translated into a bold decorative design, with the red and black looking striking against the white of the Churchill mug, as well as reflecting the colours of the Shelter logo. 

The other mugs in the set have a more contemporary feel with designs by Stephen Jones and Richard Woods. 

The mugs cost £7 each with 50% of the selling price going to Shelter.

John Lewis revival mugs

Pots and mugs

We've featured the John Lewis Revival furniture range previously including its mid-century inspired sideboard. You can now get the mugs to go with the furniture too, with their Revival mug range. 

Like the furniture, the designs are very much influenced by the 1950s and 60s, such as with the Pots and Pans mug pictured which features sketchily drawn ceramics. The other mugs are covered in more naturally inspired designs with the elm leaf and the seed mug.

Each mug costs £5.

Marianne Westman Picknick design reissued

Posted on | 1 Comment

AlmedahlsMyGardenTray

There's a lot of classic 1950s and 60s designs being re-issued at the moment with Marianne Westman's Picknick another one to add to that long list. 

Picknick was originally launched in 1956 and shows a variety of Scandinavian food stuffs laid out as if for, you guessed it, a picnic. The sketchy depiction of the food is typical for the period and still looks fresh and appealing today.

That's good news for Almedahls who've been given the licence to reproduce the design. As well as the tray shown, it's available on a cutting board, a pot stand, a tea towel and a canvas bag.

The range starts at $16 for the tea towel while this serving tray costs $36.

London-double-decker-bus-teapot-2687-p

There seems to be no shortage of products for the home inspired by London's transport system, the latest being this Double Decker bus teapot. 

It's an attractive white teapot decorated with images of the Routemaster, all number 73 en route to Victoria Station. The buses aren't just the traditional red either, but also in colours like powder blue and green. As a finishing touch the lid of the teapot is decorated with an image of the push button you'd press when you'd want the bus to stop. 

The teapot costs £14.99 and you can also get accompanying large drinking mugs for £4.99.
