Impress your workmates or just impress yourself at home with this mod mouse and mouse mat.
Throwing in all the cliches, the mat goes for the suit and skinny tie, covered over by a military parka. And to use on top, the circular mouse has a rather sharp target design.
Cheap too – you can pick up both for just £9.99.
Probably not ideal for your living room or bedroom, but if you want to add a retro twist to a kid’s room, this Rocky ceiling light should do the trick.
Shaped like the classic comic book rocket, Rocky offers a glow from both the window and rear of the rocket from a 60w bulb. But even when it isn’t dark, this cool design should brighten up a room.
Available online, you can pick one up for £44.95.
As its name suggests, the O-Space Light takes its inspiration from the space-age design beloved of the 1960s.
It is available in the traditional pure white or in the more unusual orange pictured here. Once suspended, it does look just like a spaceship hanging in the air. It also plays cleverly with the light so that it changes form depending on the angle it is viewed from.
It is available to buy from Utility Design priced £475.
If you’re going for a period look, you need period furnishings – and if you want to go 50s on an epic scale, you might want a 1950s wooden chandelier.
This fitting, with six arms, handmade passament hanging and a carved and painted wood body is custom finished and measures 100cm in diameter. All you need to do is connect the 6x 60w bulbs and choose your colour option.
Oh yes – and save up too. It’s priced at a whopping £2,375.63.
A mod with a drink problem? You really can’t be without this Target flask.
Yes, this six ounce round flask will have just enough capacity to store your strong liquor if you ever need a nip, but with an eye-catching design, polite company will be drawn to the look rather than your drinking habit.
Available online, it’s yours for £26.50.

I like Dwell – because they offer some really good design (including some nice retro-styled items) at reasonable prices. And one such item that’s new to the range is this Cross Base swivelling armchair.
Obviously taking some inspiration from the Verner Panton Cone Chair, but at a fraction of the price of one, it has a solid wood frame, brushed steel legs and a mixed fibre covering in a grey/brown.
Comfortable and stylish, the chair is available later this month, priced at £275.
