Tom Dixon space age Jack light

Jack

It's a relatively modern design that screams 1960s space age – making the Tom Dixon Jack light an ideal lamp for a retro home.

It actually dates back to the mid-90s, the first Dixon design produced by and for Eurolounge – a polyethylene light sized around 56cm in all directions and a light that glows brightly in your room. In fact, it also stacks with other lights if you want something bigger and brighter.

You'll find it in the Victoria and Albert Museum London and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art or you can buy your own in various colours, priced around the £380 mark.

Nasketta

Fontana Arte is producing some great reissues from Archivio Storico's past – including the Archivio Storico Nasketta floor lamp.

Karlsson Lotus wall clock at Wallace Sacks

Wallace Sacks lotus

This Lotus wall clock, which is currently on sale at Wallace Sacks, offers a cheap way of getting some retro chic into your home. Its metal surround resembles the symbol of the atom and makes it look like it came straight out of the era when the atom was seen as an emblem of progress and the future. 

It's made by Karlsson and you may remember that we've featured another clock by them under this name before. However, the simplified metal surround on this clock makes it look much later in period than the other model. 

The clock is currently for sale at the reduced price of £20 on the Wallace Sacks website

Elli Pop’s Just Around Midnight wallpaper

Elli popp,jade

More wallpaper… However, Elli Pop's Just Around Midnight wallpaper looks a bit further back in time than some of the recent papers we've highlighted. This wallpaper features a romanticised early-twentieth century scene of couples dancing away into the night, complete with gorgeous gowns, headpieces and fans. The line drawings look a bit Aubrey Beardsley-esque, while the semi pearl effect given by the mica paper adds to the nostalgia of the scene. 

The paper also comes with a champagne or jade colour background, although you'd really need to fall in love with it before purchasing as a roll costs £199. 

Buy it from The Look Boutique
