Some time back we featured the stylish 3300 easy chair by Arne Jacobsen. You might not realise that there’s also a sofa version on the market – the 3302 two-seater sofa .

Essentially it shares the same design, just extending things to accommodate two people. Indeed, there’s also a three-seater (the 3303) if you have a larger family. All were designed in 1956 for the Jacobsen-styled SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, offering up a chromed steel outer, wooden frame and ‘cold-cured’ foam for comfort.

Choose your finish in fabric or leather, with prices starting at £3,304.

This Seiko Retro Clock is a modern timepiece, but with a distinctly 70s look.

Indeed, we’re loving those white space age-style curves and bold digital display, underpinned with the Seiko logo at the bottom. Ideal for your wall, but with a stand too, you can use it anywhere around the house.

Cheap too – you can pick this up for just £30.

It might look like a DIY project, but the Santa & Cole Cometa hanging lamp is a piece of high-end 70s design.

It actually dates back to 1975 – Charles Dillon did originally make it as a home project for his wife Jane, the light being refined for commercial use. For your money, you get a white kite-like cloth shade that hangs from a ceiling, with a hidden aluminium cone operating as a reflector and a red cable holding the on/off switch.

Just tell your visitors it’s an art installation, they’re sure to be impressed. Yours for £293.

We thought we’d seen the end of the Keep Calm and Carry On craze, but still new products come – and this Keep Calm and Carry On handmade rug is probably the classiest of the lot.

It keeps that same classic design, offering it as a handmade rug from 100% New Zealand tufted wool & 100% cotton backing, produced in Uttar Pradesh, India.

Both are sized at 183cm x 122cm, with a choice of red or navy blue, selling for £445.
