Although not a vintage design, the look of these Kartell Icon suspension lights is very much in keeping with lighting from the late 60s and 70s.
The lights are made from transparent methacrylate and available in a range of bright colours – or plain white if you like, each designed to look like "soap bubbles". And you can adjust the length of the cord to hang as high or low as you like – up to 190cm in length.
Available online, you can pick one up for between £107 and £119.
Everyone needs a comfy chair to kick back in – and I suspect they don’t get much comfier than this Gigi chair from Heals.
Upholstered in a choice of leather (including this chocolate brown) and with chrome-finished legs, it would love great in a 70s-themed room – or in front of the TV after a busy day.
Available now, it retails for £1,450.

Second only to Pucci in producing fabrics synonymous with the 1960s is fashion house Missoni. They gained fame with their colourful patterns and stripes on a wide range of fabrics and for some time now these designs have been used in homewares as well as clothes. The Mademoiselle Missoni Chair by Kartell brings together the distinctive fabric of fashion label and the furniture design of Philippe Starck.
The Mademoiselle chair features transparent legs combined with a seat upholstered in a choice of fabrics. The Mademoiselle is a pretty special chair anyway, but combined with the retro chic of Missoni, it is even better.
They are available from Design Conscious priced £373 per chair, which isn’t a bad price for the work of two top names in design.
A nice twist on the usual dull places to store your photos is this Vintage Camera photo album.
Yes a cool camera on the front, probably far cooler than the digital one you use to take your snaps. It measures 4-3/8 x 6-3/4 inches and includes 18 plastic sleeves to hold 36 4 x 6-inch photos. There’s also acid-free colour card inserts and a metal button with an elastic closure to keep the album closed.
You can pick one up online for $12.50 (around £6.50).
