Rather different from George Nelson’s clock of the same name, this Star Clock still has a midcentury style to it.
Measuring 60cm in diameter, the clock is made from American Black Walnut, with the hours marked out with stainless steel. The hour and minute hands are also made from steel, which contrasts nicely with the dark wood.
The Star Clock costs £104 from Tinsmiths.
Not many of us have homes grand enough to accommodate a grandfather, but Giles Miller’s Cardboard Grandfather Clock is not just for the elite.
Its design references traditional styles of classic British furniture, but it is sold flat-packed and made from cardboard from sustainably sourced materials. If space is a consideration for you, the cabinet section of the clock contains shelves, so it doubles as a storage solution.
Buy it online for £120 from the Giles Miller website.

This Space Invaders Mosaic Coffee Table is perhaps not the most stylish table I’ve ever seen, but it has a certain charm for anyone with fond memories of early video games.

We're staying on a vintage sweets tip with focus on these rather wonderful Love Hearts Tealights.
Yes, on the face of it, as package of the classic Love Hearts sweets. But this is bigger than that, with the packet containing six tealights, each one shaped like a sweet and with the same sloppy message of love on the top.
Three designs over the six lights included, with a packet selling for £4.99. And note – you can't eat them.
