Globo di Luce 1960s wall lamp by Roberto Menghi

Globo

We have previously featured both the pendant lamp and the table lamp, but now the wall light version of the 1960s Globo di Luce has been reissued by Fontana Arte.

It's a 1968 design by Roberto Menghi, very much of the era and offering a blown glass globe with double light emission, along with a chrome-plated metal mounting and a metallic silver, red or gold finish.

Price? £290 for all colour options.

Mid-century style Secto 4203 pendant light

Secto

A new design, but hang the Secto 4203 pendant light in your living room and it almost instantly adds some mid-century cool.

The work of Finnish designer Seppo Koho, the Secto 4203 is design for low spaces, dropping over a table/dining table for example, offering a broad beam of light from that wide opening.

In terms of construction, it's made birch, with colours of natural, white or a black laminated finish. Yours for 339 Euros.

Sledge Chair

Sledgechair

The Sledge Chair has been designed for the Autoban series by De La Espada.  This low chair takes its inspiration from childhood memories of sledging.

The chair is available in a choice of woods and upholstery, but for the most retro looking option, the walnut veneer can't be beat.

It is available to buy in the USA from Velocity Design, priced $1645 (around £1000).  For stockists elsewhere visit the the De La Espada website.

Lisa Jones’ Town on a tea towel

Town tea towel

Earlier in the month we featured Lisa Jones' stylish Town print. If you liked that print but the £65 price tag was just slightly beyond your budget, you'll be pleased to hear that exactly the same design is available on a tea towel.

Printed on 100% organic cotton, it's a simple way of introducing some colour and retro influenced design into your kitchen. And, at £10, it's pretty cost effective too.

Deco-style console table from Dwell

Dwell console

Dwell frequently crops on this site for its reasonably priced furniture with a 60s and 70s look. So it's a pleasant surprise to see them referencing a slightly older era as part of their new autumn collection with this console table. The clean lines of its walnut sloping legs combined with the black tempered glass top means the table gives more than a nod to Art Deco style. It's an elegant design and it will be interesting to see if they produce other items of furniture along these lines. 

Though it's a slightly different look to some of their pieces, the price remains just as accessible at £179.
