Posted on | Leave a comment

Charlie

There really are some cracking midcentury-inspired designs on the high street right now, with this Linea Charlie armchair and stool at House of Fraser being up with the best of them.

It's a very stylish 1950s-inspired chair that's exclusive to the store, offering a high back design (with buttoned detail), angled contrast legs and curved arms. There's even a matching stool, for when you want to kick back.

Various colours available (although the green is the most stylish to these eyes), with the chair priced at £299 right now, the stool at £99.

Linea lidded ceramic pot

Posted on | Leave a comment

Linea pot
Although it's a contemporary design, Linea's lidded ceramic pot has something of the look of studio pottery of the 60s and 70s.

Sadly, I don't think it is hand-made but the stoneware pot does have a rather attractive raised diamond design. Add to that its purple glaze and you've got a piece that looks more unusual than its high street origin may suggest. 

A high street price attached to it too: the pot costs £30.

Jazz bed linen from Linea at House of Fraser

Posted on | Leave a comment

Jazz linea
If you called your design 'Jazz', you're expecting something eye-catching and that's the case with this Jazz bed linen by Linea, available at House of Fraser.

It's certainly colourful, with its use of pink, and the lines of its pattern could well be explained by a Jazz Age influence. However, it's also reminiscent of the 1960s Lucienne Day bed linen we featured earlier in the month and the Op-Art style lines of this design could suggest a sixties influence too. Whatever era you attribute its influence to, it's an undeniably eye-catching pattern. 

Prices start at £10 for a pillowcase and £35 for a single duvet cover.

Joseph Joseph Vibrant vegetable worktop saver

Joseph joseph
Joseph Joseph are well known for their colourful worktop saver designs and this Vibrant Vegetable design is no exception. It's part of Linea range at House of Fraser that we featured a little while back.

The board is decorated with colourful, stylised vegetables illustrations that have something of an early 70s feel. That's the looks taken care of then but the board is also practical, made from heat-resistant toughened glass. 

Even better is the news that it's currently on sale, reduced to £10.80.

Linea vibrant veg salad bowl

Linea bowl

This vibrant veg salad bowl is a much quirky addition to the Linea range. 

Instead of the very contemporary looking designs I often associate with that range, the brightly coloured illustrations on this stoneware salad bowl give it a retro feel. It reminds me of the neat 1970s designs of Gemuse by Graziela among other things, and hopefully similar items will be added to the range.  

Snap this design up quickly before it goes – it costs £20.

Linea Grace chair

Linea grace armchair

This Linea Grace chair is another mid-century style design courtesy of the High Street. 

An elegant piece of design that doesn't immediately give away its age or provenance, it's a classic wingback chair with padded seat, all upholstered in a green fabric. This retro look is completed by the darkly stained conical legs. All-in-all it's a design that states mid-century Scandinavian. 

Luckily it's a Summer 2010 sale bargain, as this is currently reduced to £249.
