We featured this some time back, but the above is no ordinary George Nelson Ball Clock.

This is actually a special edition Ball Clock, designed to celebrate the centenary of George Nelson’s birth. What’s the difference? Well, this particular take on the 1948 classic features black wooden balls and a more authentic brass casing, but still remains faithful to the original design.

Certain to be more collectable than the average reissue, it also commands a higher price – £216 compared to £169. You can order now from the ever-reliable Utility Design.

If I ever had the money to buy a modernist-style house, I’d be straight on the phone for an Artek catalogue, checking out the seemingly endless range of 30s design classics still in production by the company – including the Alvar Aalto 907 coffee table.

This 1933 design is typically and unmistakably Aalto, with those distinctive Aalto ‘L’ legs and circular surface in birch, as well as a ‘floating’ shelf for your books and magazines.

Take your pick from two sizes (small and large), with prices starting at £564.

It’s not actually a 1970s table lamp, but the Dwell Corono table lamp is very reminiscent of the era.

It’s a strange design, with Sputnik-style legs, a large clear glass shade and chrome frame combining to form something that looks like it should be either a lost classic or a eccentric science project.

Either way, it certainly has its appeal. The lamp stands at 36 cm tall and takes a 40w bulb (although the image suggests it might take up to three if you really want to hammer your electricity bill). Yours for £79.
