Oilcloth from Anorak

Anorak have extended their range of products to include this fab oilcloth which is available to buy by the metre.

The Anorak range is a refreshing change to the Kidston / Ashley floral look and this strong graphic design would look great in a modern kitchen. Other designs are available with robins, stags and rabbits, which also feature on the rest of the products in their collection which includes bags, lovely cotton sleeping bags and bedlinen.

The fabric costs £45 a metre and is available from the Anorak website.

The Ooob Doorstop / Bookend from Headsprung

We have written about Headsprung's Ribbon Coat Rack before and now it's time to give their mighty little Ooob doorstop a mention.

The Ooob looks fairly unimpressive at first glance, but it has won awards so there must be something to it which I suspect doesn't come across in a photo. It seems to do its job so well because it is constructed from a steel core covered in silicone rubber so it's very solid but won't hurt too much if you stub your toe on it, and it also looks nice too. It also won't mark your door as it doesn't need to be wedged underneath it. 

The Ooob comes in a range of pretty colours, and some manly ones too and is priced at £19.57 from Headsprung.

Bosign Branch Hanger

Cool and interesting design doesn't have to cost a small fortune, the Bosign Branch Hanger can liven up your hall for under £25.

Available in three colours, the powder-coated metal Branch Hanger (as the name suggests) mimics a branch, offering several offshoots to hang your bits and pieces on when you land home from work. But a few and you can create your own forest!

But for just a single Branch, he price is £23.99.

Nooka x Spongebob Squarepants 10th anniversary watches

Usually, when a TV show reaches a milestone, we just see a newly-packaged DVD set it the market for a premium price. Thankfully, not everyone thinks that way, which is why we have these wonderful Nooka x Spongebob Squarepants 10th anniversary watches on the market, no doubt for a very limited time.

Typically Nooka, the watches mix the look of a quirky retro watch with some futuristic/confusing time-telling technology, with the Xenh in yellow with horizontal bars for the time, the Zenv in black and going for vertical bars. How do they tell the time? Basically, each bar shows the passing hours and minutes. It might take longer to work out, but it's worth it you want a watch to impress.

So where does Spongebob come in? Well, apart from the name on the face, the watches come in colours that fit in with the show and if you look closely, you'll see some show-related imagery on the strap too. Available for pre-order now at Nooka, prices are around the $175 mark.

Tik Tak Clock from Habitat

The Tik Tak clock from Habitat is a futuristic take on the striking sunburst clocks from the 50's.  

The clock spokes are powder coated in different shades of grey and this effect combined with the positioning of the numbers on the end of the spokes make the clock look like it's spinning round, almost like a catherine wheel.

The clock was designed by Miriam Van Der Lubbe and Niels Van Eijk, and is priced at £99. Find out more at Habitat.
