A distinctive, but very practical chair from the 1970s – the Cassina Cab chair by Mario Bellini.
It's as much about the concept as the finished product – in 1977, Bellini produced the chair using a flexible steel frame, covering it with a 'skin' of saddle leather, which is attached to the leather using four zips.
You can pick up the Cab with or without arms and in a choice of leathers, prices starting at £603.
They might look fairly unassuming at first glance, but the VitaminBerlin apartments which you'll find in the city of Berlin, are quite cool retro-themed places to hang out.
Using classic apartment stock in key locations in the city, VitaminBerlin mixes the home comforts of the modern era with stylish 20th century design to create a hip place for up to two people to hang out in the city. And just to fuse both together, each apartment has a vintage Danish Bang & Olufsen stereo with an adapter for your iPod.
Many fashion trends for men in the 1980s are remembered with something short of fondness, but it was a golden age for hip hop enthusiasts. Puma are latching onto the decade's revival with a reissue of their classic Dallas trainers this year.
Luxurious dark blue suede, contrasted with a thick textured sole and puma flash in bright white, this pair toe the line between classic and current with ease. This is another pair from Size's exclusive range of retro reissues, only available in blue and white.
They'll set you back £55 and stocks are limited, so get in there fast.

Most of us associate fifties dressing with dresses and skirts, but it was also the decade which saw trousers and shorts really hit the mainstream womens wardrobe. This Navy Spot Playsuit from Miss Selfridge's Petite range is a great throwback to a cutesy and easy to wear styles of the era.
In a light and loose fabric, the fit of this playsuit is ideal for mid-20th century retro looks. A v-neck shirt collar helps combine masculine detailing with feminine fit, including a cinched waist and just enough flesh on show. Finished in a navy polka dot print, this is a rare gem in retro daywear from the high street.
It's available now from Miss Selfridge for £35.
Modern designs, but one foot firmly in the past – that's the retro-styled artwork by Ingela P Arrhenius, which is available online at L'Affiche Moderne.
Swedish illustrator Arrhenius takes inspiration from the 50s and 60s for her cartoon-like images, of which the two above are typical. Not only that, they're packed with colour and guaranteed to brighten up any room, child's room or not.
Limited editions, but not at a limited edition price – depending on your choice of size, prices start at just 29 Euros.
Two classic shapes have had a makeover for the new season, but both the Adidas Woven Diamond airline bag and holdall keep their retro looks and appeal.
Not least, that's down to the retro colourways of beige and brown, along with vintage leather detailing, diamond stitch canvas and of course, the logo itself. The airline bag has a large compartment and zipped front pocket, while the holdall (which is pictured over the page) has a large storage area and that oversized logo on the side.
Prices from £59.
