With obvious inspiration from the classic Panton chair, Karim Rashid has produced the Disk armchair.
A nice bot of space age design that’s equally at home in your garden or indoors, this fibreglass seat comes with a foam-filled cushion for comfort and a choice of colour – white, yellow and red.
Available from Italian design retailer Owo, you can pick one up for 1,388 Euros.
Great design for your home, great fun for your kids – the Offi Woody Chalkboard Table offers both.
Check out that design, rather like a large version of the iconic Alvar Aalto 60 stool. Except this one is down to Eric Pfeiffer and is made from birch, with a chalkboard top and bowl in the centre for your child’s used chalks.
Having fun has never been so stylish – and it’s yours for £249.

Digetex is paying tribute to the late 60s with its Woodstock Collection of late 60s-themed wallcoverings and designs.
Very much in the spirit of the bold designs of the late 60s and early 70s, the company is offering wallpaper, paper murals, fabrics, roller blinds and canvas, with the option to fine tune the products with your own colour choice or scaling.
Check out the website for the designs, with prices varying depending on product – but as a guide, a blind is around £75 and a wallpaper mural around £35.
A modern piece with classic looks – the Vagga cradle by Jonas Lindvall.
Lindvall has gone back to the classic Scandinavian designs of the mid-century era for inspiration, offering a hand-crafted rocking cradle in sold walnut, using the grain of the wood to create a ‘marbled’ finish on the exterior.
Apparently that requires much hand planing and bonding of over 120 walnut slats. And those man hours don’t come cheap – the Vagga retails for £1,950.

I love vinyl. Indeed, I have my own decks set up sat home. But my set-up doesn’t look anywhere near as stylish as these Metrofarm DJ desks.
Functionality meets high-end design, as the Berlin-based studio packs in a couple of decks and mixer, whilst offering a stylish finish for a club, bar or (if you have the cash), your living room.
I’m more than taken with the wood finish above, but check out the orange wall-based unit over the page too for a 70s vibe. No news of pricing, but I’m pretty certain you’ll be talking serious cash for one of these custom-built objects.

Via The Coolhunter
It looks contemporary, but the Diesis sofa from B&B Italia actually dates back to the 1970s.
1979 was the actual year it went into production, the work of Antonio Citterio & Paolo Nava and featuring a tubular steel frame with die cast aluminium accents, along with shaped polyurethane cushions covered in leather and fabric for comfort.
Almost 30 years old, but as cutting edge as anything you’ll find on the market. Prices start at around £4,400.
