Arabecsco

Another piece of design that defies its age – the Carlo Mollino Arabesco coffee table.

The coffee table was first introduced back in 1949, a typical example of Mollino’s trademark bent ply work, supporting a thick tempered curved glass top with the aid of stainless steel discs. And there’s a lower shelf too, should you need extra storage for your magazines.

It;s now been reissued by Zanottoa with a beech or cherry wood veneer, both priced at £1,849.

Cassina LC5.F sofa/day bed by Le Corbusier

Posted on | Leave a comment

Cassina_sofa

Looking every bit the contemporary piece of home design, it’s hard to believe that Le Corbusier designed the LC5.F sofa/day bed back in 1934.

Over 70 years on, it’s still practical too, a hard-wearing sofa in black or white leather with a polished chrome-plated steel frame. But there’s more to it than that – the back cushions can be lowered to increase the width of the sofa seat to create a day bed or stylish single bed.

Obviously it’s not going to come cheap. Cassina has reissued it under license (complete with stamped signature and serial number), selling for £4,964.

Gshock_80s

Over at Switched On Set, we’ve just featured the Spike Lee and Eric Haze-designed G-Shock watches. But also announced today is a range of Casio G-Shocks inspired by the 1980s to celebrate the company’s 25th anniversary – the DW5600CS.

It’s described as a new twist on the original design, offering a typically 80s digital watch in a choice of glossy yellow or black. As you might expect, the watch has water and shock resistance, along with an EL backlight with afterglow, multi-function alarm, 1/100 second stopwatch, countdown timer, flash alert and 12/24 hour formats.

Both land at the end of September, no price as yet.

A mid-century classic is back on the market, with SCP bagging the exclusive on the George Nelson Bubble Lamp collection.

The lamps went into production in 1947, produced by Howard Miller in several variations from the early 50s through to 1979. The range is now back at SCP, as authentic as an original – made using the original specifications and using the original Howard Miller tooling.

Check out the collection at the site, although we would recommend the uber-sylish Ball Light (above), which is priced from £245.
