MARK Arris armchair from John Lewis

Posted on | Leave a comment

Arris

This MARK Arris armchair, available from John Lewis, is contemporary design but one with a distinctly mid-century feel.

This chair was designed by Gala Wright, one of the team at MARK, a Cornwall based furniture company, who also make their products within the county. That neat and angular frame is made from solid oak frame and the chair is upholstered in a striking lime fabric which enhances its retro feel. Like the look of this? There's also a two seater sofa available in a similar style. 

The chair is available for £999 while the sofa costs £1500.

John Lewis 1960s-inspired Leon armchair

Dion

Not just as retro design, according to John Lewis, its new Leon armchair was actually developed from an original 1960s vintage piece.

The end result is a mix between a classic win chair and a mid-century design, offering a curved button back, slightly flared arms and angled, walnut-stained legs. All of that upholstered in a high-end velvet fabric.

All of that for £850 online.

Aalto1

Not sure if there's much similarity to the work of the man it's named after, but we like the retro styling of the John Lewis Aalto armchair and sofa.

Pictured above is the oversized armchair, with light oak legs, a high back granite-coloured 'chunky' fabric upholstery and the bonus of a scatter cushion.

If you want something bigger, check out the sofa over the page, which is in much the same style. Available for order now, prices start at £999.

Harlequin retro lamp base

Harlequin lamp
Harlequin's retro lamp base offers a touch of 70s style to your lighting. 

The chunky lamp base is made from painted resin, giving it a retro look. It's available in two colours – the taupe pictured, or a clean white looking version. All you need to do is pick a lamp shade to go with it and you've got yourself a stylish piece of lighting.

However, with the lamp base costing £80, it may well be necessary to economize slightly with your choice of shade…

John Lewis Connections-patterned craft accessories

Posted on | Leave a comment

JL connections
John Lewis has got some great retro prints at the moment, not least the 1950s-influenced Connections pattern. Keen crafters will be pleased to know that they've used the print across a range of craft accessories. 

The bold pattern makes a nice change from the chintzy designs that are often used such traditional items such as the sewing basket pictured. The range also includes a sewing case, pin cushion, craft bag and knitting needle roll. In fact, all that's needed to inspire a spot of making over the winter months. 

Prices range from £6 up to £35, with the basket pictured costing £20.

John Lewis Revival tablecloth

Revival tablecloth

 

We've included quite a few pieces already from the John Lewis Revival range. To add to the mugs, furniture and vases, you can now purchase this Revival tablecloth. 

Like the Pots and Pans mug, the tablecloth features an illustration of vintage style crockery which has, in this case, been supplemented by images of kitchen implements, vintage-looking storage jars and Catherine Holm-style saucepans. The pattern is illustrated in a manner to reflect the '50s and '60s tableware pictured. 

Made from a cotton and polyester mix, the tablecloth is available in a range of sizes. You can supplement the look with placemats and coasters featuring the same design. 

Prices for the tablecloth range from between £19 to £21 dependent on size.
