When it comes to quirky design, Atypyk is the name to watch right now – and the Moon Carpet is another great example.
Yes, every morning you can re-live the 1960s, bouncing around this crater-covered carpet just like Neil Armstrong. The white rug is made from 100 per cent wool and is 210cm wide.

Our obsession with vintage robots continues with this retro robot night light.
Plug it in via the swivel plug-in base and it lights up through the night, with an on/off switch to save you unplugging every morning. There’s just oen drawback – wouldn’t this give your kids nightmares in the night?
If you want it, it retails online for $11.50 (around £6),
I really like Dwell – so many of their items hint at high-end design, without actually commanding the asking price. And typical is this Dwell pleated spiked pendant light.
Like the Artichoke lamp and very much like the Norm 69 pendant light, this particular pendant has the same segment-style design, all made from polypropylene and with a total diameter of 40cm.
It’s also ready-made (unlike the Norm 69) and retails for a very reasonable £24.95.
Come into some money recently? Looking for a luxurious chair? The Tom Dixon Wingback chair could be the one for you.
Launched at the 2007 Milan Furniture Fair, the Wingback chair is a glamorous version of the chairs found in traditional gentelmen’s clubs. It has a solid wooden frame and solid turned legs, as well as a cover in mohair velvet – with a choice of 15 colours.
Ideal for that afternoon nap, it retails for a rather pricey £3,600.
Been to Electric Roulette recently? If you like your music you might like it.

The balaclava and facial hair are about as 70s as you can get – and now you can combine the two with the Bearded Cap.
Made by Icelandic design collective Vik Prjonsdottir, it combines warmth for your head and keeps the snow off your moustache and beard, creating balaclava-like warmth, but with more space for your face to see.
They’re made from 100 per cent Icelandic will and available in three different colours and shapes. No price listed – you’ll have to contact the company via the site for one. Ad while you’re there, check out the other bizarre and quirky designs on offer.
