Yes, this is the original 1930s design. But the giant outdoor 1227 lights byAnglepoise are much larger and more robust than those vintage lights.
They look amazing, that’s for sure. Take your pick of a giant sized wall light or a super-sized floor lamp, both with the classic articulated movement to focus the light where you want it and with made to withstand the elements for outdoor use.
Various colours to choose from, all of which will create both light and talking point in your garden or on the patio. Downside? Of course, they don’t come cheap. Both the floor lamp and the wall light will set you back £3,750 — via Retro to Go

As if a floor-to-ceiling wall of books isn’t enough to coax a wistful sigh from any bibliophile, this renovated 1950s home in Madrid tacks on a cosy, elevated hammock as a reading nook, accessible via library ladder. Spanish design firm Eque y Seta wanted to freshen up the formerly dated home for a modern-day family, making it lighter and brighter and adding a few fun features for kids and adults alike to enjoy — via dornob

The Louis B Frederick House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright dates back to 1958 and amazingly, has been in the possession of the same family since. The family obviously love it, as this place looks like it could be out of an interiors magazine from that original era.
Some changes have been made, including a new cedar roof. But overall this prairie-style property still has the architect’s name and style all over it.
The asking price is $795,000, which, as we said, works out at around £551k. Illinois has never sounded more appealing — via WowHaus

Canuck the crow, Vancouver’s most notorious bird, is being accused of flying away with a knife from a crime scene.
The crow has quite a reputation in Vancouver and its antics are regularly chronicled on social media, including a dedicated Facebook page that has a profile photo of the bird holding a knife in its beak.
Earlier on Tuesday, police had shot a man near Hastings and Cassiar streets. They were called to the scene of a car engulfed in flames. When they arrived, police said, they were confronted by a man with a knife.
Shots were fired and the man was arrested.
Vancouver Courier reporter Mike Howell said he saw the bird — which had a red tag on its leg as does Canuck — swoop in and pick up an object from inside an area cordoned off by police tape.
A cop chased it for about 15 to 20 feet, and then the crow dropped it and took off,
Howell told CBC.
It was really strange. In my 20-plus years reporting from crime scenes, I’ve never seen anything like that crow trying to take a knife

Frank Howarth has wood turned a Death Star out of bamboo plywood. The build consists of making two segmented halves that seam together at the trench. Each half is made of 9 rings. Each ring has 13 segments. There is one extra ring to help the two halves overlap at the seam. The superlaser dish was turned separately. The hole in the Death Star and the profile of the dish were cut on the CNC router to allow to two to fit together — via Youtube
