A 60s-inspired seat with a 60s-inspired name – the Patrick Norguet Boson lounge chair.

It’s actually named after a particle theory first developed in the 1960s. The relevance? Well, none as we can see, so let’s concentrate on the stylish chair – a polyurethane shell with polished chrome base and contrasting red upholstery. The ideal lounger if you’re looking for a space age look in your home.

Available online or in your local design store, it’s priced from £1,082.

You can always rely on Karlsson to produce something interesting and affordable – and that certainly applies to the company’s latest retro wall clock range.

Two examples are shown here – the Retro Walnut, which gives a nod to the 1950s with its real walnut veneer face and domed glass front. Powered by a single battery, you can pick one up for £52.

The second clock has a more 60s vibe – the Futuristic Dial offering a black face with steel trim, along with four futuristic digits and quirky hands to mark the time. That one sells for £34. See the link below for more details and indeed, more clocks.

Quite possibly the oldest piece of design we’ve featured on Retro To Go, the Fortuny Moda floor lamp is now just over 100 years old.

Designed by Mariano Fortuny y Madrazo in1907, the Moda is reminiscent of large photography studio lights, guaranteed to create a talking point in any room. And plenty of light too – a whopping 500w bulb sits within that adjustable cotton ‘shade’, all standing upright on a tubular steel frame with powder finish.

Various colours and shade decorations available, with prices starting at around £2,600.
