Orla Kiely has produced an exclusive range of furniture for the Heals store, all of which is worthy of your consideration – but we’re very taken by the mid-century-inspired Rowan Cupboard.

This walnut unit offers both shelving and cupboard space, the latter hidden by a pair of sliding the doors. Indeed, one of those doors features Kiely’s signature Stem design for a nice touch of added detail. Both that and the rest of the design are finished with a clear matt lacquer, so it should be good against the occasional bump or scratch.

Sold fully-assembled, it sells for £1,395.

A mid-century classic is back on the high street – the Pierre Paulin Tanis desk.

It’s been reissued by Ligne Roset, which has re-created the desk in almost exact detail. Originally designed back in 1954, the desk actually references the earlier functional design of Bauhaus, featuring a black lacquered steel frame, a black or white Corian writing surface and a block of two drawers, finished in natural walnut veneer.

Available soon, price to be confirmed.

Loving the classic looks of this Muji Round Face alarm clock.

Those retro looks are based on a Japanese classic – the traditional street clocks you’ll see out and about in Japan’s town and cities. It has a steel frame with glossy black finish and is sized around 10 x 4cm.

Yours for £21.95.

Something of an exclusive for us, as these Astro and Gordon lamps from Lamponi aren’t yet available to buy online.

You may remember Lamponi from his stylish Vespa headlight lamps and these new lamps are very much in the same style, made to order and craftsman-made with a serious attention to detail.

Two adjustable lamps (in two colours) available, both influenced by 1930s space age comics and movies of the era, sized around 70cm long and with the light located in the rear engines. Expect to pay around 500 – 600 Euros. If you want to know more, get in touch with the designer via is website.
