1959 Chelsea tea towel design from the Museum of London

Posted on | Leave a comment

Chelsea tea towel

A slice of bohemian London life in the fifties is captured in this Chelsea tea towel, produced for the shop at the Museum of London. 

It uses an illustration produced for Tatler magazine in 1959 by Mardie Madden and features a stylised map of the streets of Chelsea, which it called the 'liveliest area in town'. Produced just before the 1960s style explosion you associate with the King's Road and the area, the characters illustrated include artistic types, alongside more traditional figures such as the Chelsea guard. 

A nice slice of London life, this tea towel costs £6.50.

You may remember Lucie Sheridan's distinctive moose head which we featured just before Christmas. Well, for perhaps an easier way to get her designs into your home, take a look at this Tea T'Owl.

The clue is in the name: it's a tea towel featuring some of our favourite birds, owls. The owls are depicted in a very stylized way with the orange and brown colour scheme enhancing the retro feel.

The towel costs £9.50.

Make Me Iconic plastic tea towel

IconicPlasticTeaTowel

Inspired by the range of tourist iconography available in Great Britain, Make Me Iconic attempts to do the same with some of Melbourne's landmarks. They've commissioned young designers to create new artwork celebrating the history of the city, resulting in products like this Plastic Tea Towel.  

The design shows the Nylex Plastics sign, giving the time and temperature to residents since it was built on top of barley silos in 1961. Other designs focus on the city's milk bars, skyline and transport network and are shown across a range of cushions, prints and mugs, as well as the tea towels. Each product comes packaged with some information on the history of the object it illustrates. 

This design costs AUS $25.
