Yesterday we featured the Mole chair by Sergio Rodrigues, but ClassiCon has also reissued one of the designer's 1970s seats too – the Kilin lounge chair.

This Brazilian mid-century gem actually dates back to 1973, but follows the same comfort with style principles, offering a handmade chair with solid eucalyptus frame that's been stained with clear varnish, along with a sling back and seat of either leather or natural cow hide.

If that appeals, you can buy one online, priced from £2,117.

It screams the 1970s, yet the Tom Dixon Fluoro Shade floor light is a very much a modern-day piece of design.

Made of blow-moulded polycarbonate, the lamp then receives an external powder coating in that matt fluorescent orange to give it that eye-catching finish, a 60w bulb throwing out the light via the open space.

It coems with a 3-metre cable and foot switch and is designed to be used either individually or in a group. Not that buying a few will be cheap – each one retails for £215.

Another stylish bit of salvage – these 1930s vintage ceiling lights at Elemental.

They go by the name of the 'Bauhaus Lamp', but we don't think there's any firm connection to the German design house. Saying that, they are German, made sometime in the 1930s and constructed from bakelite in a domed shape with eye-catching detailing on the rear of the lights.

If you want something just a little different for your home (especially if you have a high ceiling), these could be worth a look. The only downside is a lack of price on the site – frustratingly, you can only access price information once you register with Elemental, which probably scares off more customers than it encourages.
