Floppy disk sticky notes from Suck UK

Posted on | Leave a comment

 Floppydiskstickynotes
Add some retro charm to your office with a reminder of some outdated technology courtesy of these floppy disk sticky notes from Suck UK. 

Yes, they are sticky notes that are designed to look like those old floppy disks that used to litter up the desk. However, as you can actually write on these notes, when used in conjunction with another piece of old-fashioned technology (i.e. a pen!) they're a lot more useful than the real thing for speedily conveying information. 

You get three note pads in a pack for £7.50.

Micke desk from Ikea

Posted on | Leave a comment

Micke desk

Like a stripped back modernist style for your office? Well, for the look without the price tag, you might like the Micke desk from Ikea.

While it's certainly not the polished wood and gleaming aluminium you'd normally associate with the style (this one is made from a combination of fibreboard and plastic), it's certainly got the clean Bauhaus lines. It's also got the modern advantage of having cable outlets and compartments built into the design. And, if you need more storage, there are more units that can be purchased to be added on. 

It's one of those budget designs that Ikea is so famous for, costing just £65. 

Available in-store only, you can see it online here.

Off Shoulder Knit Dress by Christian Dior

Diorwool

The big brands love to jump the gun on seasons, but every so often there's a piece that bears buying well in advance. This Off Shoulder Knit Dress by Christian Dior might not get a run out until the Autumn, but with looks like these it's certainly worth talking about.

Channelling a classic Dior look from the late fifties and early sixties, the dress has all the femininity and sharp sex appeal of early Dior designs. The off shoulder neckline shows just enough flesh to counterbalance the formality of the pencil skirt and professional bodice design. With a high, defined waist it creates those killer vintage curves you can't deny.

Industriel furniture collection at Lavender and Sage

Industriel bookcase

If you're looking for some new furniture with a more industrial feel, you may want to take a look at the Industriel collection, new in at Lavender and Sage. 

The collection looks like it has been taken from a workshop and features a desk, a circular stool and the bookcase pictured, all made from oak and metal. The material has been treated to give it a used feel (so you can pretend it's vintage, rather than purchased from the web): the wood has been patinated and the metal has been greyed and aged. 

A set of two stools costs £170, while the desk is £325 and the bookcase is £425.

‘Old time’ car desk accessory by Troika

Troika car
 

Got the retro car bookends? Complete the look of a high-flying executive office with Troika’s old time car desk accessory.

It’s described as ‘old time’ and I’m afraid I’m also no closer than that to recognising the model of car this might have been based on. However, it’s definitely got a glamorous retro look, suitable for adorning (presumably walnut) writing desks. It’s also vaguely useful too – as it’s magnetic you can use it for storing up paper clips or having other office based fun with metallic items.

It’s perfectly priced for a gift at £25.
