The Letsby Avenue design by Lost and Found features a nostalgic British street scene, with a policeman, union jack bunting and a street sign bearing the punning name hung on metal railings.

For those interested in such things, there is apparently a real street called Letsby Avenue in Sheffield, but this design suggests a London of days gone by. The design is available as either a cushion or a tea towel, both made from 100% cotton.

The cushion costs just under £50 and the tea towel £12 from Rockett St George.

The Question Mark Chair, with its unusual shape and descriptive name, could easily be mistaken for a classic design by the likes of Jacobsen, Aarnio or Paulin, but it is a new design by Stefan Heiliger.

The chair has already won a plethora of awards so could easily become a design classic of the future, but for now, I think it would make a good addition to any retro dining room. The seat swivels 360 degrees and is available in a huge choice of coloured leathers, although the smart choice would always be the white option.

The Question Mark Chair is available to buy form Mac and Mac Interiors priced £1,580.

The stand for resting a plate or pan on to protect your surfaces from heat is called a trivet. Usually a practical, but dull item, it has made more interesting by Sagaform in the creation of the 2-Piece Flower Trivet.

The trivet consists of two parts, a 20cm circle with a daisy pattern piece that pulls out to gave you two trivets in one. The flower-power design is given a further retro dimension as it made from sold Walnut.

The trivet costs £8.50 from the Soulful Toaster.
