Botany

Never let it be said we don't cater for all your retro needs on this site. If you have an urge for vintage botany, take a look at these botanical charts available from Whippet Grey. 

The charts were produced by a German educational company and were originally illustrated in the 1950s and 60s. These have been re-issued based on the original print, printed onto canvas and presented with wooden poles. The black background gives them a dramatic look, something enhanced by their size – they are 120cm long.

Angry Children cushions

If you are a regular reader of this site, you'll be well aware of the work of People Will Always Need Plates. For a new twist on the architecture on homeware theme, how about their German equivalent in the form of these Angry Children cushions featuring 60s and 70s Berlin buildings?

The Angry Children range is the work of s.wert designs and is so-called because they are angry about building fronts that have disappeared or are about to disappear. For example, the cushion on the right shows Ahronblatt, or 'Mapleleaf' building: built in East Berlin between 1970-3 and demolished in 2001. 

There are seven different designs to choose from, all featuring buildings dating from the sixties and seventies, including the Haus der Statistik design shown on the left. Each cushion cover costs 33 euros.
