66721-T Table Lamp by Kaiser idell

The Kaiser idell lighting range consists of floor, wall and table lamps and pendants, but one we’ve not mentioned here before is the 66721-T Table Lamp, the smallest table lamp in the series.

It was designed by Christian Dell in 1926 and like its bigger siblings is a classic of Bauhaus design – but in miniature. It is made from steel and brass with the patented swivel joint. It stands at 25.5cm tall and is available in black, ivory or white.

Sadly, the price is far from mini, with the lamps priced £332 from Ivor Innes.

Eileen Gray E1027 Side Table

Posted on | Leave a comment

E1027 
Plenty of side tables have this minimalist combination of chrome and glass, but this is the original Eileen Gray E1027 Side Table, a true design classic.

It shares its name with the summer house Eileen Gray built for herself and her collaborator, Jean Badovici. The name is a code for their relationship; E for Eileen, 10 for Jean (J being the 10th letter of the alphabet), 2 for Badovici and 7 for Gray. The table is adjustable so it can be moved into various positions and uses. The frame is always made from chromium-plated steel, but the table tops are available in crystal clear glass, smoked glass or black lacquered metal.

Prices range from £575 to £685 from Aram.

Chernerchair 
If you know your classic design, then you should have no problem identifying this as the work of Norman Cherner.

The Cherner Classic Walnut Side Chair has the same distinctive wasp-waisted shape as his armchair. It is made from moulded plywood and the example available here is covered with a rich walnut veneer. The chair costs £646 which is perhaps a bit expensive if you intend to buy a full set for your dining room, but undeniably stylish.

Embrace maximalism in all it's glory with this Hackney Empire wallpaper from designers House of Hackney.

The design features all manner of animal bacchanalia; from banjo-playing squirrels to cocktail-quaffing badgers and hookah-smoking sloths. The rich colours on a midnight blue background make for a sophisticated and subtle design that reveals it's exoticism on closer inspection.

The wallpaper is digitally printed with environmentally friendly inks and costs £148 per roll here. You can also buy cushions, lampshades and furniture featuring the design. The full Hackney Empire range has also been used to create a pop up Gin Den at Bistrotheque where you can sample a signature cocktail surrounded by the fantastical designs.
