A cool piece of space age design has been reissued for the modern era – the Rodolfo Bonetto Melaina easy chair.

Originally designed by Rodolfo Bonetto for Driade in 1970, it's a chair that literally screams the era – a fairly small, all-in-one fibreglass armchair in an amaranth colour that's perfect for pretending you're in Space 1999 or doing something more mundane like watching TV or reading a book. Just don't take it outside – this is one fibreglass chair that doesn't like the elements.

Available once more, the Melaina is yours for £832.

Fancy living out your life in an old school console game? The Supermario headboard by Myrica Bergquist could be the first step to your dream.

Yes, just like a piece of an 8-bit game, the laser-cut acrylic headboard slots behind your bed to offer up a practical piece of eye-catching design in a variety of colours, including the red pictured above. Coupled with some Nintendo wall graphics and it's big kid heaven.

Available for both single and double beds, the Supermario headboard is exclusive to Pid, retailing at 241 Euros for the single and 455 Euros for the double.

The last of the three Sergio Rodrigues reissues we've featured this week is the oldest and arguably the most stylish of the bunch, the ClassiCon Oscar armchair.

Another mid-century gem from Brazil (and named after iconic architect Oscar Niemeyer), the Oscar is a more upright seat with plenty of rounded contours forged by hand from solid eucalyptus, with a seat and backrest in cane or with leather upholstery.

Like the previous reissues, this certainly isn't cheap, starting at £1,690.
