Meow meow

From fashion cats to fallen-from-skyscraper cats, The Ralph Steadman Book of Cats – padding in the paw prints of his previous Book of Dogs – is a brilliantly bonkers illustrated encyclopaedia of all things feline, by Britain's beloved psychedelic doodler. £12.99, published by Atlantic Books on 3 May.

Top table

Set in the hills near San Sebastian, northern Spain, Mugaritz is the creation of the chef Andoni Luis Aduriz, a Ferran Adria disciple. A delicious new book, Mugaritz, goes behind the scenes of the highly-regarded restaurant, served up with recipes and stunning photography. £35, published by Phaidon on 28 April.

Sharp work

Gavin Turk's charming needle-works were made by prisoners as part of a social enterprise project. They are £300 each and released as a strictly-limited run: get yours while you can. Finecellwork.co.uk

Wonder wall

Kirath Ghundoo's geometric wallpapers lend a touch of Tetris-chic to any home. Choose from a spectrum of colours – including monochrome and acid yellow – to bring a modern buzz to your living room. Kirathghundoo.com

Egg time

Boiling an egg just got a whole lot more fun, with this all-in-one stackable holder from Christina Schafer, available in three bright shades. Simply hook the Eiko egg-cup to the side of a pan of boiling water to cook, then serve with soldiers. £12 for four, scp.co.uk

La vie en rose

See the world through rose-tinted spectacles with these one-of-a-kind Phillips sunglasses from A-Morir by Kerin Rose. The collection, which also features disco balls and feathers, is already a hit with Lady Gaga and Rihanna. Not for the inconspicuous. £245, liberty.co.uk
