Mummola print by Sanna Annukka

Posted on | Leave a comment

Mummola2
New designs from Sanna Annukka are always worthy of note and this Mummola print is an especially nice addition to her shop.

The print is more literal than some of her designs showing a busy stove and well-stacked shelves. Apparently influenced by the memory of her grandmother's kitchen, the colourful pots and pans are inspired by her own collection and will appeal to anyone who has amassed a similar collection. 

Printed as a five colour silk screen, the edition is limited to 75 so, if you like it, you'd better snap it up now. 

The print costs £195.

Typewriter ceramic vase by House Doctor DK

Typewriter vase
Vintage typewriters are having something of a style moment. I've lost track of the amount of objects they've cropped up on recently, from brooches and earrings to cushions and bags. The latest to use their good looks is this Typewriter ceramic vase by House Doctor DK. 

The vase is made from white ceramic and is decorated with a simple black motif of a typewriter, and a string of type coming out of the machine. Like this? There's also a vase available featuring another fashionable motif of the moment – the bicycle. 

The vase costs £22.50. 

Pre-order it from Bodie and Fou

We’ve featured Belle & Boo’s vintage-style children’s illustrations before, so we were delighted to see that they have produced a range of Valentine’s Day Cards.

Like the illustrations, the Belle & Boo Valentine’s Cards feature nostalgic drawings in muted colours, of a little boy and girl cuddling, kissing or holding hands in various settings. The designs have an innocent charm to them, which makes a change from most Valentines cards.

The cards cost £2 each from NineteenSeventyThree.

C'est magnifique
Want to add some European chic to a wall? Take a look at the C'est Manifique wallpaper for sale from Anthropologie.

The wallpaper is screen-printed with some charming retro-style illustrations of some of Europe's most famous landmarks. As its name might suggest, France - specifically Paris – is well represented with an illustration of the Eiffel tower. Look a bit closer and you'll also see the gondolas and bridges of Venice. Finally, bringing the subject matter slightly more up-to-date, the wallpaper also includes an illustration of the London Eye alongside traditional red buses and phone boxes.

Pretty and whimsical, the paper costs £58 a roll.

Xyzblocks1288804085_879
These XYZ wooden blocks by Christian Northeast offer a fun alternative to traditional kids alphabet blocks.

They're made like the classic wooden blocks that have been played with by generations of children all over the world. The difference here is their iconography. Executed in a retro style, Christian's illustrations offer a slice of pure Americana: from flamingos and eight balls to vinyl and x ray specs. There's no doubt that the set is bound to improve anyone's vocabulary too – how about U for Uvula? 

For your kids, or just to look pretty, the blocks cost £29.
