Blade Runner Whiskey Glasses
Sonic by Robert Oxley It’s a testament to artist Robert Oxley’s skill that he can let paint dribble down a canvas and give off this incredible ‘melted waxwork’ reimagining of Sonic the Hedgehog. Created in collaboration with Sega to celebrate the character’s 25th anniversary, an original limited-edition boxed canvas of ‘Sonic’ or ‘Speed of Sound’ (left) can be bought direct from the artist. from £850 / oxleyart.co.uk
Relax after a stressful day spent ‘retiring’ replicants by supping sweet single malt – or Tab Clear, Panda Cola etc – from the same tumblers used by Rick Deckard in the seminal 1982 sci-fi movie Blade Runner. Each one is formed from hand-made crystal glass, mouth-blown at boutique Italian firm Arnolfo di Cambio, and goes perfectly with flickering neon signs reflecting off puddles. £120 / firebox.com
Replaceface Home furnishings: boring. Not these, though. Replaceface takes the works of English portrait artist George Dawe, who painted 329 Russian generals during Napoleon’s invasion, and Photoshops iconic characters on their shoulders instead. Bedspreads, pillowcases, cushions, rugs, tapestries – they’re all available, and included are the likes of Bill Murray, Sir Patrick Stewart and Neil Armstrong. from $15 / society6. com/replaceface
Star Wars Wampa Rug There’s something gloriously tacky about this fireplace-worthy white Wampa rug. Somehow this is officially licensed, and features four limbs with softsculpted vinyl claws, embroidered eyes and printed teeth – so just like the real thing, then. Naturally, if you’re planning on entertaining friends or have designs on someone special coming over for dinner, we suggest you store this in a cupboard. £123 / fun.co.uk
