A lot of style for not a lot of money with these Zuko table lamps at Graham and Green.
Very 1950s in design and a very simple design too for either a reading or desk lamp, with the funnel-like metal shade, matching base and moveable stem to direct the light.
Lots of colours to choose from, not just the three above, all priced at £45 each.

If you want something a little more authentic than the recent reissue, check out this fully-restored Fiat 500 classic on eBay right now, which could prove a bargain if you get it at the right price.
The car dates back to 1967, a right-hand drive model with 499cc engine, soft top and a blue paint job matched up with a grey and cream interior, a one-off finish for the seller. According to the same seller, it has had a 'complete new brake system and many new parts' and comes with a year's MOT and tax.
An eye-catching car, that's for sure and on eBay right now at £3,000. The seller claims 'it cost me a lot more to put it on the road 4 years ago', which we can well believe.

It's a not-so-secret fact that we love retro sci-fi, particularly the sort that involve shaky sets, dodgy special effects and not-so-scary monsters. Of course, no far-fetched adventure in outer space would be complete without ray guns.
If you're the sort of person who worries that giant spiders or robots may come knocking at your door some day, you'll need these b-movie inspired Marooned on Mongo cushions from Diffraction Fiber on Etsy. Made of eco-felt (produced from recycled plastic bottles), this set of handcut cushions feature a space age ray gun on one and an old school Batman-esque sound effect 'Pew! Pew!' bubble on the other. We can't promise you that it'll protect you from an army of martians but you can at least bash them over the head with it.
The pair are $40 from Diffraction Fiber's Etsy store.
In celebration of the fifth birthday of Things You Can Buy, Stefi Orazi has produced a new print – Golden Lane II.
Orazi has paid a visit to this 1950s-designed housing estate a number of times, not least in the four different designs she produced for the card set. It's no wonder, as the coloured panels of the maisonette frontage work really well in the piece, contrasting with the strict lines of the architecture.
This print is limited to an edition of 100 and the print costs £110.

The new Albany Catwalk wallpaper collection features this striking design, based around five different retro clocks.
The clocks range from the very distinctive Vitra ball clock style design and a mid-century starburst number, to more neutral minimal designs.
This black and white is the most subdued of the colour combinations available: you can also get this design as metallic teal printed clocks on black, or metallic orange on a chocolate brown background. Those two colourways certainly have more of a retro feel, but possibly have too much impact for the average room.
The wallpaper costs £19.99 a roll.
