Un Dimanche à Paris Wallpaper is a new design from Famille Summerbelle.
Parisian Abstract Print Throw from Couverture
If you dream of living in an artist's garret in Montmartre but your reality is a one bedroom flat in Peckham, this fifties inspired Parisian Abstract Print Throw from Couverture can help create the desired ambiance.
Drawing on the abstract-expressionist style for inspiration, this grey, yellow and purple throw would make a stylish cover for any bohemian bed or sofa. The throw has a double thickness cotton front but if you fancy a change you could always display the reverse, which is washed cotton velvet with a hand-executed running stitch detail.
It measures 230x260cm and costs £299 from Couverture here.
Paris Box Set by Peter Blake
We’ve mentioned Peter Blake’s Paris prints before, but now they are available in at a price at everyone can afford in the form of the Paris Box Set.
The boxset comprises 20 lithographic postcards, each featuring a different collage of the city inspired by antique souvenir postcards. Typical Blake motifs such as butterflies, circuses, magic and crowds feature in the designs.
The boxset costs £25 from the Polite Shop.
Herb Lester vintage-style Paris Map by Lord Dunsby
We have featured the vintage-syle Herb Lester city maps in the past, but we think It's Nice To Be Alone In Paris is the best one yet.
For a start, it's by one of our favourite illustrators, Lord Dunsby and also, because it's about Paris, one of our favourite city to spends days wandering around. This map flags up some pretty leftfield things to do as well, 32 in total, including a taxidermist extraordinaire, mint tea at the Grand Mosque, found photographs at Images & Portraits, along with places to eat, swim, drink, buy vintage 'gentlemen's imagery' and enjoy a solitary ice cream. In short, something for everyone.
It's an A3 (297x420mm) map, folded to A6 (105x148mm) and litho printed on recycled paper. As ever, ridiculously cheap at just £3.
Ingela city prints from Lagom
Ingela Arrhenius has been a frequent visitor on this site recently, from her alphabet print to her dish cloths design. However, how can we resist showing you more when she keeps coming up with designs as attractive as these city prints, available from Lagom?
She's produced prints, illustrating the delights of three of our favourite European cities. Each shows some of the city's landmarks and unique charms, as seen through the eyes of a Swedish illustrator and executed in her retro style. The baguettes, macaroons and Mona Lisa of Paris is shown in the print above, while you can check out London's pubs, punks and city gents over the page. The third city? Some Swedish style courtesy of Stockholm.
Each print is limited to 200 and cost £45.
