Another gem from the forthcoming Dwell range, this 60s-style high gloss dining table.
Loving that cone base, round surface and of course, the high gloss black exterior, which is likely to be both eye-catching and a magent for fingerprints.
The table is able to accomodate four people, sized around 74cm high, with a diameter of 120cm. New in this week, priced at £399.
Another (new) design from the Adidas/Vespa collaboration and for my money, one of the more eye-catching – the Adidas x Vespa retro holdall.
It's a vintage-style holdall in white, mixing both Adidas and Vespa logo detailing (one side for Adidas, one for Vespa), along with handles, detachable shoulder strap, nubs on the bottom to keep it from damage and of course, a large compartment for all your essentials for the weekend, work…whatever.
ASOS currently has them in stock, yours for £50.

The last of the classic Braun designs have now ceased production, with the final pieces now starting to leave the shelves. We have featured the ABW31 clock and the AB1 clock in the past, but one other design is also still available via the Design Museum Shop – the Braun AB5 alarm clock by Dietrich Lubs.
It's a great piece of modernist-inspired design, dating back to 1987 and complete with luminous hands, a sweeping second hand, quartz movement, pivoting alarm switch and a clear intermittent alarm.
Good for the bedside or the office desk, one can be yours for £29.95.
It's a modern design,but the Boden Patent Jacket looks every bit the 1960s classic.
Described as a jacket that 'sums up the optimism and excitement of the Swinging Sixties', it's available in three colour options (you can see the green over the page), each with that large collar, three large matching buttons, spotted lining and a fully waterproof exterior.
Available in sizes 8 to 20, it's yours for £79.

Looking for a quirky light fitting with a retro twist? Check out the Ingo Maurer Campari suspension light by Raffaele Celentano.
Those aren't your average bottles, they are Campari soda bottles, designed in 1932 by Italian Futurist artist Depero. That's something to impress the neighbours with. All 10 are arranged to work as a pendant, each individually detachable (in case you get thirsty) and supported with a lengthy cable that also features a Campari bottle top.
£270 will secure you one for your home.
