The original is near-impossible to find and to be honest, the reissue of the Eero Aarnio Cognac XO armchair isn't much easier to source either.

It's not actually a straight reissue of the 1966 Cognac V.S.O.P. chair (hence the slight name change), this version is bigger and 'more ergonomic', but still hads that distinctive fibreglass frame and some upholstery in a Tonus fabric in your choice of colour.

Of course it isn't  cheap, with prices around the £4,000 mark, but there's no denying it's a head turner.

A modern design, but there's no denying that the Ross Lovegrove Tri-Oval Table for Knoll could have come kicking and screaming from the 1970s.

Tri-Oval presumably because of the oval glass and three-legged support, the low table is available in a wide range of finishes, from clear and chrome to bright and colourful, but we prefer this smokey top and bronze frame which pushes the 70s- factor up to 11.

Shop around for the best price, but expect to pay around £1,000.

A design classic that's now available with a touch of bling – the Oluce Atollo 233 gold table lamp.

Designed by Vico Magistretti back in 1977, it's a stunning piece of work, with that pointed stand and a shade that 'hovers' on top, light controlled by the included dimmer function.

Made of aluminium with a lacquered finish, it sells for a rather hefty £1,568.
