It's a design usually seen hanging from the ceiling, but now the Le Klint 341 is available for your floor and table.
Designed by Poul Christiansen in 1971, both share the same design – a hand folded shade made from a single sheet of plastic (not unlike the 172 ceiling light), with a chrome base and stem finishing things off.
£871 gets you the floor light, with the table light selling for £654.
Another midcentury-inspired gem from the sales floor of John Lewis – this rather smart Orbit armchair.
A big, chunky chair, it has a handcrafted wood frame, those 50s-style angled beech legs, a buttoned back, spring support and upholstery in a Hepworth fabric.
The chair sells for £999. If you like the look, there's also a sofa, which retails for £1,600.
We've shown you Michelle Mason's '50s tinged London designs before, specifically on her cushions. A more accessible way to introduce the design into your home is with these London tumblers.
The tumblers feature the same retro illustrations – Routemasters and teashops and all – and are made from melamine, making them the perfect things for kids or for trips away from the city.
The tumblers cost £7.99. You can also get a melamine mug for the same price.

A cool, stylish and retro way to brighten up your living room – these Orla Kiely Flowers and Multi Stem rugs at Heals.
Those retro designs are certainly individual, but the rugs themselves share other similarities, including a soft New Zealand wool finish and a size of W160 x H230cm.
Oh yes, the price too, with each one retailing for £750.
A stunning midcentury armchair, back in production in all its original glory – the Papa Bear Chair by Hans J. Wegner.
Dating back to 1951 and now produced by Modernica with 'strict adherence to the original design with regard to dimensions', the chair was originally described as 'the most comfortable chair ever made', presumably because of that high back and enveloping arms – a bear hug without the fear of imminment death you could say.
The finish is a mix of walnut and your choice of fabric or leather, the price starts at $2,400, which is around £1,570.
We've featured quite a few of the Southbank Centre's collaborations recently and this new Modern Living stationery set, from SORT is another interesting addition to their range.
SORT stands for Society of Revisionist Typographers and, as their name suggests, they use typography and printing techniques of the past but marry them up with a contemporary design aesthetic. The inspiration for this set comes from the Festival of Britain with the designs on the stationery has a very 50s look.
Each set contains 30 sheets of notepaper, 8 notelets and 20 envelopes, all hand-printed and kept in a stylish presentation box. The set costs £15.
