A new design with a midcentury twist – this Low Lounge Chair by Matthew Hilton for De La Espada.
It's a classic lounger with some added style from those fluid curves on the solid hardwood frame, with support and comfort offered up by those chunky cushions for the seat and backrest.
The frame is available in either solid American walnut or oak with a danish oil finish, while fabrics options are plentiful too. Expect to pay around the £1,895 mark.
We've featured a few of Ercol's products released in honour of their 90th anniversary this year. They've gone back to their archives again to produce pieces exclusively for John Lewis, such as this Chiltern dining chair.
The chair is based on an original 1950s design and the oak material and splayed legs looks both typical of Ercol and of that period. Also available in white or black colours, you can also buy an accompanying dining table in the same range.
The chairs cost £175 each.

You can go to Heals and pick up a classic 1960s Arco floor lamp by Achille Castiglioni, or you can save some cash and go for the same 'look' with this large curve floor lamp at Marks and Spencer.
Obviously there are differences, not least in the bulk of the base and the amount of curve offered. But with almost £1,300 between the two price tags, who is complaining? The M&S version has a marble base, a 'bubble' design shade and a body of chromed steel, with a switch on the cable for control.
The whole thing stands at 179cm tall, which is around 6ft. So mail order is probably the way to go! If you do want it, the curve floor lamp is available online, selling for just £85.
It's been a while since we featured a product from ISAK but rest assured that their recent products are as full of retro charm as ever, such as this Familjen tablecloth.
The tablecloth is covered with some of the ISAK family we already know and love, such as Inger and Olle, combined with some new characters too. They're printed onto water-resistant cotton which, very importantly, is apparently easy to wipe clean. Measuring 180cm x 140cm, it's perfect for use at your own family gatherings.
The tablecloth costs £65.

Zandra Rhodes has been a busy lady. So far this year we've featured her teepee for Millets and her book covers for Penguin. Now she's collaborated with Ashley Wilde to produce a new range of bed linen.
The collection contains made of three bed linens, adapted from designs in Zandra Rhodes' archive. The selection is quite diverse and reflects the range of her work. It includes the bright acid pops of the Sombrero bed linen pictured above which is based around an enlarged detail from one of her prints. In contrast there's the monochrome pattern of the Cretian Lily or the pretty pastel Paisley Daisy design.
Double duvets sell for £45.

The Petal Coffee Table has a distinctive retro design, with a table top made up of nine curved squares, but what is perhaps more unusual about the product is the way that it is being sold.
It is available to buy through the website Made who specialise in offering cheaper versions of designs available elsewhere. They aim “revolutionise the furniture retail market” and describe themselves as “idealists” and “children of the revolution”, which made me smile (and left me with the T-Rex song in my head for the rest of the day). They are able to do this by producing the items in batches, so you only have a limited period to buy each one. The deadline for orders for the square Petal Coffee Table is just four days away, so you’ll need to move quickly to benefit from the reduction in cost from £389 to £149.
Made also its visitors to decide which designs will go into production in the future by voting from a selection on its website, so even if you don’t want to buy the Petal Table, it might be worth seeing if they have anything you would like to see made real.
Place your order for the Petal Table at Made before time runs out.
