The Mod Generation

The Society of Cool!

Mod gadgets?

To go with my Harry Palmer/60's british spy obsession, I'm into gadgets. I really love retro styled gadgets or clever little Mod devices.... For example my favourite design of shaver/razor Braun 375. Its a flip razor like a mobile phone. Such a clever design, very sleek.

ATM I'm looking for a portable record player, like the Ion LP2GO, but with 60's styling!

What gadgets you into?

Great choice, Max Braun was a great modernist designer/engineer. I have one of their watches which I love to bits:

Tasty.  I can see why you like this.   Its not a gadget but I have a Bauhaus chrome and leather chair I sit in on special occasions and drink coffee form my small Heals double skinned stainless espresso cups.  Its a pleasure to live with nicely designed things it adds a bit of satisfaction to the activity.

Nice Bill, me and my missus collect G Plan furniture. Danish designs of that period are so classy, my favourite piece is the sideboard...

Gorgeous.  If only I could persuade the missus.  I'm only allowed to decorate the conservatory where I do my painting.  G Plan is just lovely.  My mother has a house of late 50's Beautility which still looks the part.

Here, I love the sideboard J. Looks absolutely brilliant. But you should maybe take the price label off it at some stage ha ha.

I also love retro mobiles. The Nokia 3210 is the nicest designed phone ever IMO  :)

Wow! I got rid of my Nokia 3210 only last year, ha ha! Agreed though, they are nice and built like tanks. Speaking of well built, maybe not a gadget but here's what I listen to my records on:

My Technics 1210.
