We’ve featured plenty of classic chairs recently, but you are unlikely to have the space to house them all and may have to make the tough decision between the Ribbon, Coconut or Corona Chair.

However, with these Illustrated History posters from Design Boom, you can feast your eyes on hundreds of chairs. There are two designs available, Rocking Chairs and Folding Chairs, and they are available on special offer at the moment if you buy both $15 ($22 including postage within Europe – approximately £12).

A cheap and easy way to bring Eames, Panton et al into your home, albeit in 2D form! 

Visit Design Boom for further details.

I know very little about this piece of design, except that this Matitoni clothes and hat stand looks like a pot of giant pencils standing in a pot.

Further investigation shows it was designed by Philippe Peyridieu and manufactured by Banal Extra, with the stand made of a mix of aluminium, iron (or possibly steel) and rubber. It stands 180cm high (around 6ft), which means it’s likely to dominate the room of your choice, but should be a talking point for just about every visitor.

It retails in the UK for £250.

And thanks to Karen for the spot!

Clare Nicolson combines digitally printed cottons with vintage fabric to create a range of interesting retro-styled items. And that includes these Dolly Birds.

The Dolly Birds are five bird-shaped cushions, inspired very much by Russian dolls. There’s five designs to choose from, including the one coloured here, all made from 10 per cent cotton.

The sets sell for £90 each.
