Back in the depths of time, we featured the Giotto Stoppino magazine rack as one of our first-ever Retro To Go posts. And now that it's available in a rainbow of colours, it's a good time to visit this Kartell design again.

If it looks familiar, it just might be because it was doing the rounds in Habitat a couple of years back. If you missed that, you can still get this 1971 design, now with a choice of transparent or batch-dyed PMMA finishes, the image above giving you an idea of options. There's plenty of room for your magazines in those four pockets and should you want to move it around, that raised area and a small handle made it portable too.

A design classic that doesn't cost a fortune – yours for around £69.

We've covered the work of Ernest Race in the past, notably the Clarissa Hulse Race Rocker and the Margaret Howell Race Heron chair. But here's something that's more faithful to the designer's original work – the Ernest Race BA3 armchair.

Like many of the Ernest Race designs, this is style conjured up from limited resources, indeed, designed in 1945, the BA3 was produced when both wood and metal were in seriously short supply. However, Race still produced an award-winning seat from die-cast aluminium and oak, with some vinyl thrown in for comfort.

Available once more, you can buy one from £467.

If only all conservatory furniture was as cool as the Poul Kjaerholm 1950s PK22 easy chair.

Actually, this 1956 design is not just a conservatory chair, the PK22 also comes in leather or suede for a minimalist easy chair for the living room, with both models offering a stainless steel spring base for that extra bit of comfort and support.

Yours from £1,885.

Another gem from the mind of Jonathan Adler – the Capri Genie pendant light.

It really does pack that 1970s vibe, from the shape right through to the choice of colour (as the two above clearly show). For your money, you get the coloured glass pendant shade with polished nickel accents and room for a 60w bulb.

It's sized around 8.5 inches high, with a 13.25-inch diameter, while the cable should allow a drop of up to 132.75 inches. You can buy one online for $195.
