Posted on | Leave a comment

Dub

Mixing reproduction retro parts with cutting edge trailer technology, the Dub-Box has a glass fibre body shell and what's described as a 'handcrafted' finish using your choice of colours and fabrics, as well as a selection of flooring, blinds, upholstery, cupboards and worktops.

London, Paris, New York prints by Bianca Gomez

Bianca gomez

A great take on three of the world's great cities, courtesy of Bianca Gomez and her prints of London, Paris and New York. 

Each print depicts a different city in the style of a classic travel poster. While the simple elements are the same in each image – a man in the city, the name of the place running across the print – she manages to inject a bit of personality into each scene. The New York print, for example, looks like its come straight off the cover of a vintage New Yorker magazine, while the London print cleverly uses the font traditionally used for the capital's transport system. The Paris print is suitably full of Gallic charm. 

Each print is A4 sized and you can buy them individually for $30 each, or $75 for a set of three. Alternatively you can get larger individual prints for $60 each.

This Going Places rug from Designers Guild is another example of a kid's design that's as desirable for adults too.

It's a colourful design, intended to capture the hustle and bustle of transport in a busy place. That translates into simple outlines of cars and trains, set amongst the backdrop of cars and mountains. Both the subject matter and the treatment of the design are reminiscent of classic transport posters. 

Made from acrylic and measuring 120 x 170cm, the rug costs £195.
