Another chair fit for a Bond villain – indeed the Geoffrey Harcourt F585 lounge chair even has that 1960s authenticity.

First introduced by Artifort back in 1967, this space age-style chair stands on a silver metal base, with a cushioned seat covered with a choice of fabric or leather, combining to produce a seat that’s good for the living room as well as the managing director’s office (should you be lucky enough to work for an affluent company).

The seat itself retails for £1,687, with the ottoman costing a further £669.

Litton Furniture is an old name (dating back to the 1960s), but having been recently taken on by Sir Terence Conran and furniture maker Sean Sutcliffe, is now producing high quality furniture with a much heavier emphasis on design. As this Mon Oncle armchair by Sir Terence Conran pretty well sums up.

It’s a stylish item, influenced heavily by the art deco period and made by a team of highly-respected cabinet makers and upholsters, using only English timber and only from sustainable sources – in this case burr ash.

Take your pick from either a leather or wool finish, with prices starting at around £3,450.

I love the industrial looks of the Santa & Cole Digamma armchair.

Designed back in 1957 by Ignazio Gardella, it offers comfort via the upholstered seat, back and arms, mixed with that utilitarian steel frame and legs, not to mention the mechanical control for the three-position backrest.

If you like your style mixed with simplicity, it could be for you. The Digamma sells for around £3,500.

More than a feature wall, the Lizzie Allen Telephone Box wallpaper is a huge piece of art, should you have a wall big enough to cope with it.

It’s actually a life-sized print of a traditional red telephone box, hand screen-printed on super-wide paper, each one bespoke, so in effect, also unique. And you’ll certainly be unique in your street with one of these on the wall – and if you position your phone nearby, you can lay claim to having your very own phone box.

For reference, the wallpaper (which is also offered in a gold variation) is 135cm wide and 300cm tall (that around 10ft) – so make sure you have the wall space before ordering. And at £330, it might be as well to get a professional in to hang it.
