Anglepoise 50 lamp by Anthony Dickens

Anglepoise50

Everyone know what an Anglepoise lamp looks like – it’s been around since 1932, becoming a design classic along the way. Although whether the Anglepoise 50 will get that sort of acclaim remains to be seen.

It’s designed by Anthony Dickens, with the company hoping this bold new look will appeal to a younger market. The Anglepoise 50 is based on the original, but with the angle frozen at 50 degrees (hence the name), almost like a fossil if you like. Why 50 degrees? The perfect angle for working apparently.

It’s available in a range of colours, including the red and orange above. You can pre-order one now from the Anglepoise site for £39.50.

Recycled Fendango cushion

We’re all for recycling and if the results are as stylish as this Fendango cushion, all the better.

It is handmade from vintage fabric remnants – the fabric used here offering a great 70s, almost Biba-esque look to our living room. And of course, you’re doing a little bit for the environment.

Sized at 39cm x 39cm, it retails for £24.99.

Laura Ashley Colinton mid-century leather armchair

Ashley_mid
Hunting around the Laura Ashley website dug up this real gem – the Laura Ashley Colinton mid-century leather armchair.

It’s a design that screams the 1950s, with those curves and the dark wood diagonal legs. And it looks a dream to kick back into. The leather is a premium ‘Brandy Antiqued Saddle Clay’, which seems to be like a cream, although there are options for changing to a different shade if you like.

The Colinton is available online or in stores, priced at £800.

Retro-styled metal Barrack lamp

Looking for some industrial-styled design for the home? Well, these retro-styled Barrack lamps might fit the bill – and the price is good too.

They are inspired by the no-nonsense utilitarian industrial design often seen in municipal buildings in days gone by – and still seen today in some places. If you are creating a minimalist look, it could be a nice finishing touch.

Made of enamelled metal, the Barrack lamp is available in retro shades too, including the ‘apple’ shade pictured here. It’s got a diameter of 28cm and sells for a very reasonable £29.99.
