Interesting one this. A leading interiors magazine is running a campaign to extend the copyright on design in the UK from 25 years. If successful, it would effectively outlaw reproduction pieces from the UK market. Good news for design houses, perhaps not good news for classic design lovers on a budget. But right now, pieces like these CLC Living reproduction classics at Achica are still good to go.

Eames House of Cards mugs
Though you won't perhaps get the reference at first glance, this new range of mugs uses images from Ray and Charles Eames's House of Cards.
The House of Cards was devised by the couple in 1952 and involves a series of cards that slot together. The images on the cards were taken from their own collections and were intended to be a nostalgic look at the everyday. It's those photographs which have been used to decorate this collection of mugs which are colourful and eye-catching in their own right.
The mug above shows a selection of pills while other designs feature things like cotton reels and crayons. The images were all intended to look good together, so buy a selection and your kitchen shelf will reap the rewards.
The mugs cost £14.10 each.
