London Transport Museum and Squint Collaboration
Both the London Transport Museum and upholsterer Squint Limited have featured in these pages before. Now they have come together to collaborate on a range of bespoke modern furniture that draws on the rich design heritage of the museum's collection.
Hold Tight collection from Mini Moderns
A new range from Mini Moderns is always a cause for celebration and their Hold Tight collection is no exception. The range has been produced for London Transport Museum, and is suitably transport themed. Specifically, it's based on bus tickets. The wallpaper pictured is based on a collection of vintage bus tickets and is available in a choice of three different colourways. Meanwhile, a canvas bag design uses a motif made by working an old Gibson ticketing machine.
As well as those two products, the range also includes a tea towel and a cushion. Prices start at £8 for the tea towel, with the wallpaper costing £45 a roll.

London Transport Museum Spring Poster Collection
The London Transport Museum has once more dipped into it's vast archive and come up with a selection of seasonal vintage spring-themed posters.
The range features original artwork from the 1920s and 30s with floral motifs of daffodils, bluebells and crocuses in a palette of fresh colours. The original purpose of the posters was to inspire people to visit the green spaces of London which are beautifully evoked by the talented graphic artists repesented in the collection.
The posters are all available in sizes from A4 to A0 with prices from £9.95 upwards.
You can view the collection here.
“Why Go Home So Soon?” Collection
The “Why Go Home So Soon?” Collection is another range developed from the artwork in the London Transport Museum Poster Collection.
The items available are the usual sort of thing that the London Transport Museum sells – mugs, travelcard holders, coasters and placemats – but the designs are really rather lovely. They date back to 1938 from a series of posters encouraging commuters to dine out, under the slogan “Why Go Home So Soon?” Marc Fernand Severin did the original illustrations, which are in a typical 1930s style.
A set of four coasters costs £12.99. Visit the London Transport Museum website to see the full collection.
Bus Blind fabric designed by Margo Selby and People Will Always Need Plates for London Transport Museum
Margo Selby and People Will Always Need Plates have collaborated on two new textile designs for the London Transport Museum, including the bus blind fabric pictured.
The pattern is based around iconic bus routes and destinations, echoing the style of classic bus blinds. In a silver and black colourway, it is available on the same furniture as their moquette range. This textile isn't moquette though, instead being made of a cotton and viscose mix.
It's not the first time the designers have worked together – you may remember their Trellick Tower cushion, a design that's echoed in their second design which is based around closing tube doors.
Prices start at £39.99 for getting the fabric on a cushion.
