Looking for a bit of flower power in your home? You could add it quickly (and cheaply) with one of these Shlezinka Flower table lamps, designed by Spacecraft.
In fact, if you’re after a 60s vibe, it’s ideal with its Mary Quant-inspired flower shape made from a coloured acrylic, with an exposed bulb (included) at the centre.
We have featured Jenn Ski’s work previously, but we think these newly-launched Home Sweet Home prints are worthy of your attention.
Available in a selection of colours, these Eames-inspired giclée prints are sold on archival quality, 100% cotton rag, acid-free paper, and are printed using UV-stable pigment inks.
In addition, each print is individually signed and numbered by the artist, and comes matted and ready for framing in a standard 8-inch x 10-inch frame (not included). But best of all is the price – selling for just $25, which is around £12.50.
A modern piece with retro/vintage looks – the Take A Line For A Walk armchair.
Taking its name from the lines of stitching that curve around its form, the Alfredo Haberli-designed high-back, swivel chair is a seat for spending time with – and plenty of injection-moulded foam on the steel frame should make your time there very comfortable.
Not the cheapest chair you’ll ever buy at £2,995 (and that doesn’t include the stool), but a seat that will age gracefully over time.
For three days, the 100 Club will open its doors through the afternoons to the public, offering you the chance to see the legendary club, as well as an exhibition of photographs featuring acts who have appeared at the club over the last 60 years.

An exclusive preview takes place on Wednesday 7th May from 6:30pm – contact the club for details. The main public viewing runs from Friday 9th May – Sunday 11th May, 12pm – 4pm. Entry is free.
One of those designs that defies its age – the Martin Visser Spectrum sofa bed.
No, that date isn’t wrong – this contemporary-looking sofa bed was designed in 1959 – and is back on the market in 2008. The Spectrum is made of matt chrome plated steel, upholstered in a choice of fabric or leather and with an optional armrest. Ideal as a sofa or with a shift of the mechanism, you can convert to a single bed.
Gio Ponto has been described (rightly or wrongly) as the ‘father of modern design’. So it’s no surprise to see some of his more interesting designs getting a reissue – like this Gio Ponti Rosalinda coffee table.
Amazingly, this first hit the shelves of the finer design stores in 1940 – probably not the best year to sell designer furniture, but it has certainly earned its keep since. The frame is lacquered wood (with a choice of colour) with a glass top to finish things off.
