Kitchen Cupboards print by Anti Graphic

Posted on | Leave a comment

Kitchen-cuboard

Collectors of vintage ceramics and fans of retro cooking wares may have a cupboard that looks something like the Kitchen Cupboards print by Anti Graphic. 

It's hand-screen printed and is a colourful depiction of 'lotus' patterned pans and Hornsea-esque pots, shown alongside classic looking sugar shakers and tubes of mustards. The image would be ideal for brightening up a dull kitchen. 

Anti Graphic is the work of Patrick Edgeley who has produced this print in a limited edition of just 60. Each print costs £37.50.

Apple chopping board from Lotta Kühlhorn

Posted on | Leave a comment

Apple_cuttingboard1

Following on from the post earlier in the week, here's more exciting news for those on the lookout for interesting chopping boards. We've previously featured Lotta Kühlhorn's fabulously coloured apple mugs and her range for retro etc. includes several other great designs, such as this apple chopping board. Like the mugs, they use the repeated Pop-like motif of an apple, reflecting her interest in 1970s design. 

They're in-store in Skandium but sadly not on their website and, while the mugs are widely available, I've struggled to find an on-line retailer for the board. However, you can get them through FromSthlm, a US based retailer who also stock Kühlhorn's apple coasters. The board costs $32, while the coasters cost $14 for a set of four.

‘Why not a canteen job?’ London Transport tea towel

Posted on | Leave a comment

Canteen tea-towel

If you find yourself chained to the kitchen in a bid to feed your hungry family, this London Transport tea towel will certainly give you food for thought. The tea towel shows an advert from 1949 which asks 'Why not a canteen job?'. The design is typically of the period and it lists the benefits on offer to canteen workers. The offer of extra pay for Sundays and relief duties will certainly seem appealing if your culinary efforts go unappreciated! 

The tea towel is on sale from Whitbread Wilkinson for £5 who also reproduce the same design on an apron for £10.

Maria Holmer Dahlgren’s London dish cloth

Posted on | Leave a comment

London dish cloth

They aren't usually the thing you'd splash out on but who says your dish cloths shouldn't look as nice as everything else in your home? Certainly not Maria Holmer Dahlgren, whose design is featured on this London dish cloth. Apparently it's quite usual for Scandinavian homes to use designer dish cloths and who are we to argue with their sense of style? 

If the Pop style illustrations of London landmarks look familiar it's because we've featured her London designs for trays a couple of times before. The illustrations look lovely in the black, white and turquoise colour scheme, almost too nice to use on your dirty dishes. Handily then, it's made from cellulose and is fully machine washable. 

This small slice of style costs £3.75. .

Next apple memo board

Apple memo board crop

Like the Balmoral mugs featured last week, this apple memo board from Next clearly references Enzo Mari's 'La Mela'. Even without knowing its predecessor, its graphic red outline will stand out in any kitchen or hallway. Usefully it comes with five further apple shaped magnets, perfect for pinning up notes or photos, and a pen for scrawling messages across the board. The board costs just £22.

You may also be interested in the fruit patterned mugs in the left of the image which feature the same apple motif and also a corresponding pear design. A set of the four mugs is even more of a bargain at £7.

Lisa Jones’ Town on a tea towel

Town tea towel

Earlier in the month we featured Lisa Jones' stylish Town print. If you liked that print but the £65 price tag was just slightly beyond your budget, you'll be pleased to hear that exactly the same design is available on a tea towel.

Printed on 100% organic cotton, it's a simple way of introducing some colour and retro influenced design into your kitchen. And, at £10, it's pretty cost effective too.
