eBay watch: 1960s Artemide Pallade space age lamp by Studio Tetrarch

Posted on | Leave a comment

Art2

A real gem for lovers of space age design on eBay right now, this Artemide Pallade lamp by Studio Tetrarch.

Designed in 1969 and very much in that 'Space 1999' groove, it's also 'as new' and in the original box from when the seller bought it in Italy many years back. A big selling point. Other than that, this is a very cool circular floor or table lamp in white, able to target light from that large open space in the centre, the shell being made of an ABS resin apparently.

Downside? You'll need to pay extra shipping if you're not in mainland Europe, while the starting price of 400 Euros is fairly high, but not excessive in light of condition. More images (including the packaging) on the site.

Big thanks to Kenneth for the tip off!

eBay watch: 1960s Voss Belysning Danish triple hanging UFO lamp

Love the design of this Voss Belysning Danish triple hanging UFO lamp.

A 1960s piece, it's probably best seen in its entirety (over the page), where you'll see three colourful fixtures, suspended by three cords, all passing through a solid teak stricture at the halfway point of the cords.

Described as being in 'very nice condition', it's perfect for a mid-60s-style pad. £14.86 is the current price.

eBay watch 4x 1960s Anvia table and wall lamps

Posted on | Leave a comment

Anvia

Not one quirky piece of 1960s lighting, you get four if you successfully bid on these Anvia table and wall lamps.

Full of early-to-mid 1960s charm, the metal lamps, two wall and two table/desk, were apparently originally sold as a set 'back in the day' and this set, amazingly, remains intact.

In fact, according to the seller, the lamps are in 'near perfect' condition, with no dents or rusting. See the listing for more detailed shots, with the price at just 1 pence now, although there's still plenty of time to go.

eBay watch: 1980s Austin Mini Designer Mary Quant Edition in white

Posted on | Leave a comment

Quant_mini

Yes, we have featured these before, but every example we have previously seen has been in black. This is a limited edition Austin Mini Designer Mary Quant Edition in white.

Around 1,000 were made in white back in 1988, but it's debatable how many actually survived, although a growing number are creeping onto eBay right now in varying condition, not so many in white though. Maybe time has been less kind to the lighter shade. This particular example has done just short of 70,000 miles in its time, with eight previous owners. All of the 'designer' features look to be there, but you might want to note that its had a 'full body refurb and brand new paint job', so not necessarily original. There's also new carpets, Cooper 'S' Minilite 12" alloys and new tyres as part of the deal.

Another shot over the page or check out the listing for many more. £1,030 is the current bid price.

eBay watch: 1970s Crayonne for Habitat space age ice bucket

Posted on | Leave a comment

Cray

Here's tip for you, add the word 'Crayonne' to your list of favoured eBay searches. Why? Well, in Habitat's formative years, Crayonne designs were sold in the stores, offering an affordable twist on period space age design. We featured one example last week and this Crayonne for Habitat space age ice bucket is another.

Examples of this design are currently being offered for £20+ on 'buy it now' deals, but this one is much more affordable at the price as I write. For your money, you get a simple and stylish ice bucket, complete with lid, liner and original 'Crayonne made in England' sticker on base plus embossed logo.

£7.99 right now, but keep an eye on the brand for other items in a similar style.

Arkana

If you're on the look out for a 'new' dining table for your home, check out this Arkana Tulip dining table, which is currently on eBay.

Based on the Eero Saarinen design, this one was the work of Maurice Burke for Arkana a few years after. After all these years, it's still a space age classic and a very stylish item in its own right.

This example ha a circular laminated plywood top with white laminate finish, sat on a white-coated metal base. It's sized around 120cm diameter and 73cm high, good for seating four people. Condition is described as 'excellent' and the price right now is £2.20.
