Want a cutting-edge TV but don't want something dull in the corner of your home? You need the M21 Flat Panel Console.
Available in two sizes (which can be adjusted before delivery for your set) and for both LCD and plasma TVs, the M21 turns your 2009 TV into something a little more mid-century, with a sustainable black walnut frame, vintage speaker cloth and a hand-rubbed oil finish.
Sadly none of that come cheap, costing even more than your new TV at $3,600.
Over 40 years old and the Warren Platner Lounge Chair for Knoll is still guaranteed to catch the eye in any room.
The chair is part of a 1966 range of furniture, all with that distinctive use of a polished nickel steel rod frame, clear lacquered for a glossy finish and long life. The seat itself also packs in a moulded fibreglass shell, with a colourful bit of upholstery in Tonus (Kvadrat) fabric.
All of that will cost you around £2,400.
A grand clock for a grand setting – the Arne Jacobsen Roman Clock by Rosendahl.
It was originally designed for the Arhus Town Hall, with the kind of grand look you would expect in a 1930s civic building. But this version has been shrunk down for the modern home, offering up a version on aluminium and curved glass in three sizes – small, medium and large.
Prices vary dependent on that size choice, but start at £159.
A lot of style for not a lot money – the B&Q Photon pendant shape.
Almost (but not quite) like a number of mid-century lighting designs, this high street gem offers up a brushed aluminium finish and three 'layers' for both eye-catching design and an interesting lighting effect.
Good for most rooms and able to accommodate anything up to a 100w bulb, you can pick one up from your local B&Q store for a very reasonable £21.58.
A stunningly well-made seat that oozes mid-century looks – but the Classicon Diz armchair is actually a design from the modern era.
Rodrigues first produced this back in 2002, packing all those mid-century cruves into a chair designed purely for kicking back and relaxing. In terms of construction, the chair is handmade from solid eucalyptus wood, with the seat and backrest made of laminated eucalyptus wood and Imbuia face veneer.
Take your pick from three finishes, all available for £3,632. Yes, you read that price correctly.
The craze for pumps shows no sign of going away, which means the makers are digging deeper into the archives to find new styles – the latest being the PF Flyers Sumfun tennis shoes.
These date back to 1947, offering up a lightweight canvas shoe with authentic Posture Foundation insole, 'foxing' detailing and a couple of hardly noticeable concessions to the modern era.
Look out for them in black or white in the coming weeks, no price details available as yet. See over the page for the white version.
