eBay watch: 1970s Artifort ‘Hello There’ chair by Jeremy Harvey

Posted on | Leave a comment

Hello

A wonderful design that's perfect for the summer weather – this 1970s Artifort 'Hello There' chair by Jeremy Harvey.

It was designed in 1978 by Harvey and reissued back in 2011, although this one is said to be from the late 70s, rather than the reissue, which probably makes it all the more valuable.

This one is also in yellow and is said to be in 'remarkable condition for its age', with 'only two small chips' that are 'only noticable on very close inspection'. Garden chairs don't get much cooler – and this one currently comes with a price of £99.

Podpendant
The Pod Pendant Light has been inspired by pod chairs from the 1960s, such as Eero Aarnio’s Ball Chair.

The shade is a glass ball, which has a slice cut away to reveal the bulb and at such as angle as to reflect the light down from the ceiling. It is also available in black, although to achieve the full space-age effect, the only real option is the white version.
