Egloo Telephone Box salt and pepper set by David Roberts

Egloo

This Egloo Telephone Box salt and pepper set by David Roberts mixes the very traditional with the contemporary. 

The 'Egloo' is Roberts's word to describe the shape of his shakers: a mixture of egg and igloo. Their unusual shape contrasts to the image depicted on each one, which offers a small piece of nostalgia for your kichen table. For example, in the set pictured, the egloos feature a classic red phone box while another design shows a traditional London guard. 

The Egloos cost £18.

Folk mugs

Got your London traybag and lunchbox? If you really do love London town, you're sure to want to complete your collection with these London Folk Mugs from Our Workshop

Far removed from tourist tat, these mugs are actually quite classy little fellows – in fact they remind me of the work of Kenneth Townsend and his London series of tiles from the late 60s/early 70s. Each mug features a simple illustration of three characters of London – the Yeoman, the Royal Guard and a policeman – beautifully depiciting their iconic outfits, and their fine moustaches. 

A mug costs £12.

Copenhagen tea towel by Ferm Living

Copenhagen

Michelle Mason has celebrated London, Maria Dahlgren has illustrated Stockholm. Now Ferm Living celebrates their home city with this Copenhagen tea towel

The Danish company's towel reproduces some of the city's landmarks, such as the Little Mermaid statue. Like the designers mentioned above, this is a very stylized 50s/60s-style design which is enhanced by the soft colour scheme. These same colours run through all of Ferm Living's new collection meaning there's plenty of retro gems to look out for. 

Printed on 100% cotton, the tea towel costs $19.
