A great example of midcentury design from the modern era – the TrueModern Luna sofa by Edgar Blazona.

A modern take on a classic Danish design, it offers up a solid wooden frame and those angled legs and upholstery in what's described as a 'comfortable and versatile cotton blend fabric'. The button tuffting on the back cushions is a nice touch too.

The Luna sofa is available in five colour choices (Charcoal, Chocolate, Pewter, White and Khaki), with the wooden legs available in either Honey and Espresso. Prices are around the $1,499 mark.

If the strains of Radio 1 or 2 are a bit too 'in your face' for the first thing, how about goign back to basics for your morning call? You can with this Giant White Alarm Clock at Oliver Bonas.

What you see is what you get – an oversized bedside clock (30cm) coloured almost entirely white and with bells big enough to shake the strongest of sleepers.

The price isn't as big as the clock though, pick one up for £34.

At first glance, it looks like a balloon on some string, but this is the altogether more sturdy Angelina floor lamp from Penta.

Designed by Carlo Colombo, but obviously inspired by the space age excesses of the late 1960s, it has that kind of 'other world' feel about it, brought about by that plexiglass shade which gives off an eerie glow, supported by a varnished metal frame and base.

Not cheap, with prices starting at £986, but certainly a head-turner and essential for that Space 1999 look.
