Lotta Kuhlhorn tea towels at Utility Designs
We've shown you some of Lotta Kuhlhorn's distinctive homewares before, including her great apple design. It's been a bit tricky in the past to find a UK stockist that carries a wide range of her products but thankfully Utility Designs has stepped into the gap.
As well as all the apples you could possibly want, there are a few new interesting products for your home, all using her trademark retro patterns. This Agneta Red Berries tea towel, for example, is one of a couple they have in stock and has a bold berry print and is sure to brighten up a kitchen.
The tea towels cost £11.50.

Mrs Murphy Collection’s pin-up girl tile decorations
You can get pin-up girl wallpaper or bedsheets: to complete the look how about these pin-up girl tile decorations from the Mrs Murphy Collection?
The decorations feature the black outlines of perfectly poised retro-styled girls and are ready to stick onto your kitchen or bathroom tiles, depending on where in your home is most in need of a shot of glamour. They're apparently easily removable and come in packs of ten. Choose from three evocatively named colour options available, each featuring a different girl and in appropriately pastel shades. You can pick from a 'be my baby' blue, a 'Mrs Robinson pink' or finally a 'these boots were made for walkin' green.
The Mrs Murphy Collection is the work of Malin Ehlin, a Swedish designer. With a bit of internet searching you can find some more of their range which also includes more pin-up covered objects and a retro tattooed themed line.
These tile decorations cost £12 from the Sivletto website
Stig Lindberg Aster porcelain
You'll probably recognise Stig Lindberg's Bersa porcelain design with its distinctive leaf motif. However, Gustavsberg also have reissued another of Lindberg's works from the 1970s, the Aster design.
Looking equally as Scandinavian cool, the cup features a large floral pattern in either red or blue against white. And, like the Bersa, it doesn't come cheap either. A coffee cup will set you back the equivalent of $80.
