Modern Vintage Style by Emily Chalmers

Modern-vintage-style-book

Emily Chalmers, owner of East London boutique Caravan, has brought together her love of vintage bits & bobs with her flair for interior design to create Modern Vintage Style, a compendium of pick & mix retro style.

The book is full to bursting with inspiring ideas; mixing flea market finds, traditional crafts, vintage fabrics and other retro goodies with more modern pieces, accomplishing an eclectic, homely look that just works. Perhaps not the best book for vintage purists, but perfect for those who like to mix up their eras & styles.

£11.69 on Amazon. See the website for more details.

Austin swivel chair from Dwell

Austin chair

Fancy getting yourself your own Bond villain style swivel seat but are on a bit of a budget? Take a look at the Austin swivel chair, new at Dwell

This design is part of their Autumn collection which is currently previewing online ahead of its arrival into shops in August. As you'd expect from Dwell, the collection draws heavily on 60s and 70s influences, not least this chair which looks like it could have come straight out of a late 60s pad. This is the look on a budget, however, as the chair is upholstered in faux leather, with a stainless steel swivel base. 

Due in stores on 11 August, the chair costs £299.
