eBay watch: 1960s Dieter Rams-designed Braun RT 20 radio

Rams

Apologies for featuring a vintage radio for a second day in succession, but I'm sure you'll agree that this Braun RT 20 radio is something special.

Designed in 1961 by Dieter Rams, it has the looks to match any radio past or present, with LW, MW and FM reception and a rich sound from those inner valves.

Judging by the description, it's in very good condition for a radio of its age – which makes that current £51 price tag all the more appealing.

1930s-style Niven armchair and footstool at Heals

Inven

New in at Heals is this Niven armchair and footstool, unmistakably inspired by the 1930s.

Love that sloping back and angled arms, not to mention those straight edges, all derived from a hardwood frame, with support from high-resilience foam and hollowfibre cushions. That upholstery is brown semi-aniline leather.

£995 gets you the armchair, with the footstool sold separately – that goes for £450.

Peanuts 60th anniversary products at Dover Street Market

Peanuts1

You may or may not know that it's 60 years since Charles M. Schulz brought Charlie Brown and the rest of the Peanuts characters into the world. So to celebrate, Dover Street Market has teamed up with a host of brands to produce a Peanuts 60th anniversary range.

From 27th September, the store will have a Peanuts-themed window and a range of goodies from the likes of Lacoste, Loopwheeler, Original Fake, Converse, Hysteric Glamour, Longchamp, Medicom Be@rbrick and Mulberry.

You can see some above, but check out the Peanuts Be@rbrick characters over the page, along with the Converse and the watch. Prices? No details of those as yet, check the DSM website on launch date. But we suspect the Longchamp Snoopy bag isn't going to come cheap.

eBay watch: Vintage Bang & Olufsen Beolit 609FM radio

Beolit

If the vintage looks of the Roberts Radio appeals, you might well like the look of this authentic classic that's now on eBay – the Bang & Olufsen Beolit 609FM radio.

The seller claims it is from the 70s, but it looks like a 60s design to us. Either way, it's got the look, no matter when it was made. We've not seen a better looking vintage radio in a long time.

The radio is in fully working condition, has FM, MW, LW and SW bands, individual control for bass and treble, two aerials and has a 'clean' battery compartment (no damage that is). All of that right now for just £16.63.
