This is a rather intricate light made of metal and glass from Ilva, the sort of more ‘upmarket’ Ikea type store. I’m quite surprised at the design of this Vintage Propeller Plane Pendant which seems to be a random standalone item in its childrens collectionIt’s just not the sort of thing I expect from Ilva who are lots of understated black, white, and wood furniture free of lots of detail.

The bambino is obsessed with the doorstop in our bedroom and it’s a dodgy bit of wood that I really wish she’d leave alone…. These funky chickens are handmade here in the UK from vintage and reclaimed retro fabric When you get it, unzip it and fill it up with rice or even old socks, and puts some funk in your door.

They are for permanent application though which basically means when you take it off your wall, it may not be the only thing that comes off!… I think they’re great and I wouldn’t be surprised if some people use them outside of children’s bedrooms!
