Fletcher pendant light from Next

Fletcher light

For a more unusual lighting look from the high street, how about this Fletcher pendant light from Next? Like the wire sculpture wire chandelier from Graham and Green we featured a little while back, its use of plastic and wire resembles constructivist works by artists like Naum Gabo from the 1920s onwards. 

Although the suspension isn't included, it measures around 35cm diameter and is guaranteed to be a talking point. Another bonus is the price: it costs a very reasonable £50.

Ikat Obe Silk Dress by Juicy Couture

Ikat

Looking forward to the thaw with fashion is often the best part of January for many of us, and with gems like this Ikat Obe Dress by Juicy Couture it's easy to see why. With a tropical chic that's perfect for a number of retro styles, this is a dress that's begging for the Spring.

Made from a luxuriously rich 100% silk fabric, the cut of this dress does all the work, with a high waistline emphasised by a Japanese style obe belt. The v-neck and forties style sleeve cut give this some true vintage chic, while the print and colours are reminiscent of the fifties obsession with all things Hawaiin.

It's available online now from Net-a-Porter for £194.

Russell Pinch midcentury-inspired Clement coffee table

Clement

Remember the midcentury-inspired Yves writing desk by Russell Pinch? Well, the designer is back with another period gem, the Russell Pinch Clement coffee table.

Inspired by the 1950s and we would guess, Scandinavian design, if offers up an elliptical top, rounded, angular legs and a construction that mixes oak (for the top) and walnut (for the legs), throwing in a painted shelf for good measure.

£825 will secure you one. See over the page for another view.

eBay watch: Giant Swatch watch for your wall

Swatch

I don't know a great deal about this, but I suspect that the giant Swatch for your wall pictured here here isn't the most common of items.

Or maybe it is. Either way, it's certainly an attention grabber, perfect for Swatch lovers, fans of 80s design or for anyone looking for some interesting pop art-style design for their home.

According to the seller, this super-sized watch is 2.1m high, with a 30cm diameter face and sold in working order, although 'some of the internal plastic tabs that hold it together have snapped, so it needs to be treated carefully, or glued together'. Even allowing for that, the current price of £19.99 seems very reasonable.
