Look familiar? Yes, the Alize Low Table is more or less an exact copy of the classic 1933 Alvar Aalto Stool 60, with a couple of subtle differences from designer Pascal Mourgue.

The obvious one is that this is a table rather than a stool, slightly wider and lower, but overall retaining the same design, And this is outdoor furniture, so no wood – aluminium is used here, along with a protective covering from the elements in just about any colour you can think of (not just the orange shown here).

Whatever colour you choose, this 48cm x 44cm table retails for around £110.

At first glance, it might look like an Eames lounge chair, but the Michael Malmborg Wing lounge chair is as much about the future as the past.

The Eames inspiration is obvious, but the Wing takes things a step further, using the biggest single piece of bendwood ever used to create a chair, as well as adding those ‘wings’ to the design. But besides the wood and chrome, the Wing also uses open cell visco elastic memory foam for upholstery, developed by NASA to adapt to your body shape and temperature, creating one of the most futuristic as well as one of the most comfortable chairs on the market.

Which all comes at a price. The chair and stool retail for £7,500.
