eBay watch: Dijkstra 1970s double arc wall lamp

Double

A fine piece of 1970s design, but without the collector's price tag – this Dijkstra double arc wall lamp.

Not really a high-end brand, but certainly an eye-catching piece with two shades hanging at different heights from those curved stems, both hanging from the wall, complete with light switch.

How much for this minor gem? Right now just 1 pence, plus postage from Holland.

Mitch modernist-inspired armchair at John Lewis

Mitch1

I've said before that John Lewis is pretty much the best place on the high street for good quality, retro-inspired design. Not just the midcentury stuff either, with this Mitch armchair taking its inspiration from the pre-war era.

Although to be fair, it could have a touch of influence from the 1970s too with that mix of leather and polished steel. There's no denying that shape is inspired from the 1930s though, a large curved armed and sloping, ridged seat, perfect for kicking back after a hard day.

Available now, you can pre-order one now for £899. See over the page for a front-facing image.

Moses

Something a little leftfield for a reissue today – these Diadora Queen 70 Ed Moses trainers.

The official name is the Queen 70, but as they were worn by athletics legend Ed Moses in the 70s and 80s, the shoes have taken his name over the years.

This is a limited edition reissue, a mix of suede overlays and nylon mesh underlays in white, off-white and burgundy, finished with a vintage treatment for some authenticity. Grab them while you can, the price is £64.95.
