1960s Gubi Semi pendant light by Claus Bonderup and Torsten Thorup

Gubi

A Danish classic from 1967 is back on the market, specifically the Gubi Semi pendant light by Claus Bonderup and Torsten Thorup.

An award-winning design back on the day, the lamp still looks futuristic today, as well as still being very practical – the shape of the enamelled metal shade and the silver light bulb within combine to 'give the light a unique spread in the room'.

Supplied with a black ceiling rose and two metres of black fabric covered flex, it's available in various colours and in two sizes, prices starting at £169.

BT Tower IV by Stefi Orazi

BT Tower metal

Stefi Orazi is no stranger to this site and neither will be the architectural icon in her latest print: BT Tower IV.

While other variants on the print have shown the tower at night, in the day and even using glow-in-the-dark ink, this is possibly its glitziest incarnation yet – printed with metallic foil. Stefi has also stated it'll be the last in this series so, if you've previously missed out, we advise snapping up one of the 100 in the edition now. 

The print costs £85.
