Light Traffic Only mugs

Posted on | Leave a comment

Light traffic only

The black and white typography of these Light Traffic Only mugs makes for a great graphic look. Peer a bit closer and you'll realise the mugs are covered with the names of villages in North Essex and surrounding area and the design is in fact inspired by old white village signposts which are gradually disappearing from the countryside. 

The product is the combined work of illustrator Michelle Thompson and graphic designer Gareth Wild. This unusual design is also available on tea towels. 

These mugs cost £7.

Push Me Pull You aviary mug

Posted on | Leave a comment

PUSH_aviarymug

Forget cute and twee depictions of animals, the work created by Push Me Pull You is also inspired by our four legged, furry or feathered friends but gives them a strong graphic, retro look, such as in this aviary mug. 

As the name would suggest, the mug is covered with depictions of birds. The various breeds are illustrated using geometric shapes and the first reference that springs to mind is Charley Harper's work on the same subject. The Push Me Pull You look doesn't just apply to birds though – take a peek at the shop and see foxes, elephants, giraffes and many more given the same treatment. 

It's not just mugs either: the designs are available as clothing, prints and stationery. 

Prices start at $5 with this mug costing $12.

Cheap and very cheerful, these London tumblers and mugs by Michelle Mason should brighten up your kitchen.

The designs could have been plucked straight from the 1960s, indeed they remind us of the classic Royston Cooper public posters of that particular era. For your money, you get a choice of melamine mugs or tumblers, dishwasher safe and packed with nostalgic images of the capital.

Available online, they sell for £7.99 each.

East London landmark mugs

Posted on | Leave a comment

Saramugs

People will always need plates have created quite a trend for putting architectural drawing onto homewares, a trend that continues with these East London landmark mugs.

The four mugs reflect the history (and the current fashionableness) of the area and have something for most architectural tastes: be it the Victoriana of the Museum of Childhood, the industrial motif of the gas towers, the turn-of-the-century Hackney Empire or Dalston's Deco Rio cinema. Perhaps unsurprisingly their designer, Saranotsarah, is also an architect. Each drawing is shown against an attractive, colourful background. 

The mugs cost £8.50 each or £30 for a set of four. Perfect for a Rosie Lee…
