If you happen to be cultivating that early 70s, space age / Space 1999 look, the Artemide Time and Space table lamp by Karim Rashid could be a nice addition to the collection.

Space for space age and Time for time – yes, this is as much clock as a lamp, that old school digital display sat in an oval frame, complete with an alarm should you want it at your bedside. And there's light too, with a diffuser housing high-contrast LED lighting, all controlled by a panel at the bottom of the stem.

See over the page for am image of the full-sized lamp/clock, which is available now, priced at £303.

Whilst researching some of the Robin Day vintage reissues we've featured of late, we spotted this modern, but distinctly retro design from the great man – the Robin Day Avian armchair and sofa range.

Take your pick from an armchair or two.three-seater sofa, all with stainless steel legs, armrests of formed plywood with oak veneer and a seat and back upholstered in a choice of coloured fabric of leather.

A mid-century vibe using modern production techniques, with prices starting at around £1,400.

Loving the clever design of these hangUP Arcade coat hooks.

They're handmade, using genuine arcade parts, built into a real wood plaque, with a choice of colour for the joystick (black, red, blue, green, pink, yellow and white). There's also the option of choosing how many 'players' you want – three or four, both with corresponding button.

And best of all, it's an affordable piece of design too. A 3UP hook sells for £31.99, while the 4UP is yours for £34.99, both including UK delivery.

If you're after something a little different for the walls, Cole & Son is always the first place to look. And if you head there now, you can check out this Cole & Son Automania wallpaper.

It's part of the new Contemporary III Collection, which re-introduces lost designs from the 1950s and 1960s. Automania is actually a 50s design, featuring illustrations of cars from the day on a background featuring a 'stylised' road.

Available now from Cole & Son directly, drop them a line for prices.

A stark contrast to yesterday's functional Q Stak chairs, the Robin Day Club sofa is a stylish mid-century design that's every bit at home in the modern living room.

Obviously inspired by the classic 1950s Florence Knoll sofa, this particular design was introduced by Day in 1962 as a modern take on the Chesterfield, becoming Britain's first-ever 'cube sofa' at the same time.

Built around a stainless steel frame, you can take your pick from a two or three-seat sofa, along with an armchair and footstool, all available in either leather or fabric, plus an 'eco' version made from recycled wool fabric. Prices obviously depend on your choice, but as a guide, the armchair starts at £995 and the sofas at £1,295.
