Getting your head down has got cool – with the introduction of the Gama-Go Ghetto Blaster pillow.
The case is made of 100 per cent cotton, with a design that’s sure to bring back memories for anyone who loved their music loud (and cassette-based) as a child. And it comes filled, so you don’t need to worry about finding some padding for the case.
Which all makes the $28 (£14) price tag quite appealing.
Everyone needs a side table for those essential TV-watching bits and pieces (or by the side of the bed if you prefer). And the Zanotta Tod is one of the best looking around.
Designed by Todd Bracher for Zanotta, the table has a polypropylene frame and a choice of lacquered finish – take your pick from any of the colours to your left.
And even better, this 55 x 43 x 52cm table is in the sale right now at Espacio, selling for £440 (from a previous £550).
We love a design classic here at Retro To Go, so we’re more than pleased to see the reissue of the Jo Colombo Continental bookcase.
Designed by Colombo back in 1965 and based loosely on shop-style shelving, this authorised reissue (and ‘special edition’, which usually means it’s unlikely to be around for long) is produced by Spazio Pontaccio, but is available worldwide from its clients.
Choose from three sizes and a choice of finish (wenge, chestnut, white, black, red or ivory), all with that distinctive 3D-style look over two segments and ample room for books of various sizes. Obviously design classics don’t come cheap and this is no different – London’s Mint is selling these from £1,500.
Minimalism is the name of the game for the Boss table lamp.
Designed by Lee West, it is very reminiscent of the space age designs of the late 60s to mid-70s – and wouldn’t look out of place on the set of Space 1999. In terms of construction, it’s made of a matt opal glass with oval cutout for the light effect and a transparent cable.
Available online from Ligne Roset and actually in the sale, it is selling for £122.40, down from £136.

A new design with a distinctly vintage look – the Double Rocker from James Design is a real head-turner.
This British-made seat is made from oak hardwood, with a choice of upholstered finish to match your home/room. But best of all, it takes a mid-century style rocking chair and turns it into a very stylish seat for two.
Sadly, we can’t give you a price, with that particular information being ‘on request’. Which usually means expensive, although you could drop the company a line to confirm.
If you want to be a criminal mastermind, you need three things – a cunning plan, a cat and a big chair to swing around in. Something like this B&B Italia Metropolitan Armchair.
It’s a fairly new design (2003) by Jeffrey Bernett, but with a flowing look rooted firmly in the 1960s. In terms of structure, the chair is made of tubular steel with Bayfit flexible cold shaped polyurethane foam for comfort and a choice of upholstery for the finish. The base is either spokes or disc, whatever you prefer.
Available online, you can pick one up for £1,366 – no doubt paying for itself after you’ve held the world to ransom.
