Limited edition Andy Warhol Perrier bottles

2013-05-07T21:29:06+01:00

Not just a bottle of premium water, these limited edition Andy Warhol Perrier bottles are also works of art.

Back in the 1980s, Warhol created a series of screenprints of Perrier bottles in bright and bold colours, with those images now being replicated on these limited edition bottles this summer.

There are four different label designs on the glass bottles, along with seven different Warhol inspirations, all of which will be sought after by collectors and completists. A full set might be worth a little bit of money in the future (although that certainly can't be guaranteed).

If you want one or all, the selling date is from 24th June - and at usual Perrier stockists.

Seem to be on a car tip today, with this Porsche 911 tabletop clock being the latest item to follow that theme.

Available directly from Porsche, the clock has analogue and digital time display and alarm, second time zone, calendar and timer functions. But the big selling point here is the alarm, which features the sound of the Porsche 911 engine. If you love the car, you'll love this.

All packed into an aluminium case and based on the design of Porsche 911 instruments, it sells for $240.

Limited edition Smeg x Fiat 500 mini fridge

2013-05-07T10:08:32+01:00

Following on from the denim fridge, Smeg has gone a step further with novelty appliances, producing the Smeg x Fiat 500 mini fridge.

It is absolutely stunning. Based on the front end of the Fiat 500 car in every detail, this is described as a 'mini fridge' with 100 litres of storage and controls within just like a car dashboard. Even better, prop this against the wall and some people might just think you've had a Fiat crashing through the wall! They'll be more impressed when you flip the hood and pull out a selection of drinks on a warm day.

We've seen various colours doing the rounds, but until now, we've not see any details of where you'll find one. it now seems like Parisian retailer Colette will have a couple instore from May 27th, although they have yet to release a price for the 'Smeg 500'. We suspect it will be far from cheap, but if we hear, we'll update the article with details.

Casa Tissue Box by Mauricio Affonso

2013-04-22T17:56:00+01:00

Having an old tissue box lying about the place isn't a good look, but having tissues located in the Casa Tissue Box by Mauricio Affonso just might be.

That's the point of it really. The Casa Tissue Box conceals dull and unattractive tissue boxes with its house shaped shield. Also, to add a bit of fun, each fresh tissue pulls through the chimney making them easy to retrieve and look like smoke.

£10 gets you one.

2013-04-22T16:55:55+01:00

Sometimes spill is the most stylish way to go, as this Hay Copenhague Desk with Back Screen demonstrates very well.

The Copenhague Desk is designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec for Hay, part of a collection of furniture which has been designed for the University of Copenhagen, but still a good bet for the modern home.

The table top and back is a mix if plywood and clear lacquered oak, while the frame is in solid oak, again with a clear lacquer, all combining for a design that could pass for both retro or modern, ideal for almost any home.

It does come at a price though, selling for £862.50.

2013-04-15T21:26:37+01:00

Not often we see a kettle and go 'wow', but we might make an exception for the Hot.It Electric Kettle by Wiel Arets for Alessi.

This is simple and stylish modernist design, the kind of item that looked good now - and will almost certainly look good in 10 or 15 years time too. This kettle is made in 18/10 stainless steel, with a handle and lid in thermoplastic resin, in a choice of black or white.

Both sell for £92.

Audrey Style: Mel Ferrer's Nightmare limited edition print by Pure Evil

2013-04-15T14:38:06+01:00

Not sure we need to explain who either the artist or the star of this image is, but for the uninitiated, this is the Mel Ferrer's Nightmare limited edition print by Pure Evil.

Despite the artist's rapidly growing reputation and easy recognition of his work, this Audrey Hepburn print is still in the affordable bracket, especially when you consider it is a silkscreen, signed and in a limited run of just 100 in each of the colours here.

It's sized at 70 x 85cm and sells for £150.
