If you’re after a mid-century look, but don’t want to pay a fortune for vintage/designer pieces. this sideboard and storage cupboard from Amode could fit the bill.

Both are made of oak and aren’t a million miles away from the earlier G-Plan pieces – except of course, these are newly built. The storage unit has a large cupboard area, three drawers and two open areas, while the sideboard has two large storage areas behind the two doors.

You can pick up the sideboard for £380, while the storage unit comes in at around £400.

Everyone needs a good armchair to sink into after a hard day at work – like the Spock swivel chair from Little Book Of Furniture.

Another in that ‘Bond villain’ mould – in fact, it is part of the company’s Goldfinger range – so maybe that was the inspiration. Anyway, for your money you get a chair made by ‘one of Italy’s finest furniture makers’ using ‘the best leathers in the world’ and sat on a chrome swivel base.

And all that will set you back £1,245.

If you are on the look out for a retro-styled dining table, but don’t want to go down the obvious Tulip table route, the Tonelli Farniente Alto dining table offers a minimalist alternative.

You can choose from a variety of heights and diameters, retailing for around £780.
