Heal’s Helix inspired throw
Heal's have gone back into their enviable archives again for this Helix inspired throw.
Helix was part of a 1970 collection from the company: the collection was named Countdown because it was launched the same day as Apollo 13. There's a hint of space travel in the swirls of the design, but now is more reminiscent of the influence of Op Art on the period.
If you like this pattern, Heal's have also reissued it on cushions, coasters and mugs.
The throw costs £105.

Sydney Harry Prints
Sydney Harry was one of the UK’s leading colour theorists, who produced op-art style paintings in the 1960s and 1970s that reflected his ideas.
A range of his work is now available to buy as giclée prints. Pictured here is Red Interlock, from 1971, which is about creating an illusion of depth. The prints cost between £55 and £115, with this one priced £65.

Orchard wallpaper from Graham and Brown
We've featured lots of wallpapers that take their inspiration from the 1950s recently. For something with more of a 60s feel, take a look at this Orchard wallpaper from Graham and Brown.
The paper has a very graphic look with a repeated motif of an apple, executed in black and white with occasional use of grey too, helping enhance the sixties look. For a slightly more colourful variation, there's also a version of this design available using red.
The paper costs £20 a roll.
