It might look like a refugee from the 1970s, but this Pierre Paulin Globe lounge chair actually dates from 1959.
Reissued by Artifort, the Globe lounge chair just screams ‘Bond villain’, with a disc aluminium base and stand for spinning around and a luxurious fabric finish, shaped very much for comfort.
Take your pick from a wide range of colours, with the chair selling for just over £1,500, the ottoman coming in for around £600.
If you’re trying to create a modernist look for your home, the Gianfranco Frattini Acheo wall light could be a stylish addition.
It’s not from the original era, the Acheo actually dates back to 1989, but it does feature a look that wouldn’t have looked out of place in a stylish 1930s apartment. The wall support is constructed from chromed metal, while the diffuser is made of borosilicate glass, holding a 300w halogen bulb for some substantial brightness.
Reissued by Artemide and available online, it costs around £149.
We got very excited when we first heard about it – and now iStylophone is available to download for your iPhone.
If you missed it first time around, this is a detailed recreation of the classic Stylophone – the original consumer-friendly electronic keyboard – for use on your iPhone or iPod Touch. Which means you get the same look, the same switches to flick and above all, the same monophonic synth sounds.
It’s been used on recordings by the likes of David Bowie, Brett Domino, Erasure, Hexstatic, Kraftwerk, Marilyn Manson, Orbital, Pulp, The Raconteurs, They Might Be Giants and most famously of all, David Bowie on Space Oddity. And you can use it yourself this very day. Download it from the Apple app store for a bargain £3.49.

We’ve seen the late 70s US soccer tops done to death, but Bumpy Pitch offers something a little different – genuinely vintage US soccer t-shirts.
You see, the beautiful game didn’t just appear in the US with Pele, George Best and Rodney Marsh, teams were around from early in the 20th century – and these t-shirts celebrate some of the lost teams of all eras.
The two above are Brooklyn Wanderers (dating back as far as the 1890s) and San Francisco Gales, a 60s team with Dutch heritage. Both sell online for $36 – check out the site for the full range.

Thanks to Dave Clark for spotting this John Lewis retro-styled bedside DAB radio on the shelves.
Loving that throwback shape, mixing black or white plastic with a wood finish, large front screen and offering a choice of DAB or FM radio, as well as four independent alarms. And you don’t have to wake up to the radio – if you really want to go old school, there’s always that trusty buzzer.
Both colours are available instore or online, priced at £67.
