Travel Acessories
The transport for London shop in London’s covent garden is a treasure of acessories, gifts and homeware, running from archive poster prints to enamelled tube signs. Here are dix of our favorite finds
WORDS ELIZABETH WINDING
Squint moquette sofa
Designed in collaboration with East London design company Squint, this three-seater sofa (£3,000) is a flamboyant style statement. The upholstery incorporates some of the iconic moquette patterns used on London Transport’s seating over the last century; each piece is made to order, so you can chose which ones to feature.
Chelsea Flower Show travel-card wallet
Practical but pretty, this travel-card wallet (£4.95) features the poster artwork for the Chelsea Flower Show, May 1939. Sporting types may prefer the 20s Wimbledon designs.
Mini Moderns printed cushion and bag
The ever-chic Mini Moderns interior design company is behind this travel-inspired range. We love the Hold Tight canvas tote bag (£14.95) and the Tickets Please cotton cushion (£34.95).
Lost-property-tag umbrella
The lost-property tag printed on this umbrella (£19.95) should act as a gentle reminder to forgetful owners.
Take Them to the Zoo tea towel
The poster design on this tea towel (£9.99) dates from 1924 – and the days when feeding the jumbos with sticky buns was still acceptable.
