Why we love it: Make the postman smile with this funky letterbox design from Playso. Designed and manufactured in Australia, ‘Koo Koo’ is one stylised bird-shaped letterbox that does not take itself too seriously, yet still has some serious curb appeal. We all still need a letterbox, so why not choose one that has bundles of personality.

With a daring and freethinking design, the Paceman offers a fresh take on the classic MINI, proving there is more to this car than first meets the eye.

Why we love it: The gently obtuse angles to be found in this collection of storage jars are inspired by the forms of space capsules. And this unlikely homage to all things space age is continued in a palette of subtle metallic glazes.
