View Larger Another shot of my Grandfather Colin Campbell in his first movie ‘The Leather Boys’
I met Colin Campbell again - in Ikea Wembley of all places. We had a long chat about The Leather Boys. (on of my favourite films from the 60s)
He was telling me Leslie Phillips made a film last year - a good one - and it wasn’t getting a release yet. I’ll PM you :)
View Larger A company has announced it is giving away free 233mph super-cars. The catch… you first have to by a £17million 122ft super-yacht.
The luxury yacht has four double state rooms, a reception area, and salon with 52” LED TVs. It can reach top speeds of 43 knots, though you’d never know it from the calm Art Deco interior.
Meanwhile, when you get back to dry land you can drive off in the ‘free’ matching supercar, which is powered by a 880hp twin turbo V12 engine, can do 233mph and is be parked in the built in garage.

Deco background. Note the sunburst and gold. No idea which building though. Barclay-Vesey Building, Wall Street? Or Irwin Chanin?
That stool is Deco style. Probably repro though.

About the Book
Published in conjunction with the Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes — the 1925 Paris exposition considered the blast-off point for Art Deco and later the origin of term — Ensembles mobiliers (translation: Furniture sets) is filled with the very latest, most stylish ideas in contemporary interior design. Here are laid out templates for a style that would take the world by storm, from dining rooms to Hollywood musical sets to public spaces.
