Dwell offers cut-price copy of Panton Chair

Dwell_panton
Look familiar? Well, at first glance you would guess this is the Panton Chair. But it’s actually a subtle take on that same chair by Dwell.

An official re-edition of this 60s classic from Vitra would set you back around £170. The Dwell edition, which is similar in shape and size is a fraction of the cost, made from ABS plastic and is available in a choice of white, black and red.

You can buy one for £45.

I probably don’t need to tell you that the Bloom Sandwich light is more than likely based on the Mary Quant Daisy design.

Which is no bad thing if you want to add a quirky sixties-style twist to a room. There are three colours to choose from (red, yellow and white), all made natural (and eco-friendly) wool felt and with a 180mm diameter.

You can pick one up for £35.

70s-style Sugar Box by Give Me Some Sugar

Artisan
This might look like a piece of ceramic from the 1970s, but it’s actually a modern and eco-friendly Sugar Box by Give Me Some Sugar.

Ok, you might not need a container for your sugar, but it’s certain to have uses too. Available in orange, green or red, the Sugar Box is handcrafted by Vietnamese villagers who make this lacquerware in their spare time for an additional income. Which means you’re helping people in poverty sustain themselves too.

Sized at 4 x 4 x 4.25 inches, it retails for $17.95, which is around £9.
