    Bonkers. A Beatle on Blue Peter with a crazy piece of utterly Zapple’esque furniture. The 70s were the best.

    I have been well into The Beatles for nearly 50 years and yet I knew absolutely nothing about Ringo’s furniture design.
    I would do anything to own that table. I wonder where it is today ?

      And Ringo celebrated his 83rd birthday a couple of months ago in Beverly Hills, where there is a giant statue of his hand, giving the "peace" gesture, in stainless steel of course...
