Ninety Nine Invaders and a Spaceship Print

Posted on 4th March 2011 | Leave a comment

There has been a glut of space invaders-inspired products around recently, but if you are still feeling nostalgic for the early arcade game, then you may like the Ninety Nine Invaders and Spaceship Print by Peters and Janes.

The print consists of a repeat print of a white space invader (presumably 99 of them, but I haven’t had time to count) plus one spaceship amongst their rows. The print is available in either orange or grey, framed or unframed.

The print costs £25 unframed or £65 framed from Peters and Janes via Not on the High Street.

Space Invaders mirrors by Piero Lissoni for Glas Italia

Posted on 21st January 2011 | Leave a comment

Not exact replica of the arcade aliens, the Space Invaders mirrors by Piero Lissoni for Glas Italia are actually inspired by the pixelated nasties of video games past.

The end result is what you see above, a set of sharp-angled mirrors that can each by hung in four ways, as well as together, to create some kind of fuinctional space age art for your walls.

They're sized around the 80 x 70cm mark, with each one sold separately. Sadly, being designer pieces, they don't come cheap, with prices from £488.
