Each clock is 17cm high and costs £20.

You may recall we ran a top five 60s-style cameras feature earlier in the week at our Modculture site, which featured the original Lomo Diana camera. Well, typically, as soon as we ran that feature, a new version appeared – known (for obvious reasons) as the Diana Mini.
It's essentially a miniaturised version of the original 60s-inspired Diana cam, this one offer up the option to shoot old-fashioned square shots or half-frame shots, basically two shots in the same image side by side, which means you can get 72 images on one roll of 35mm film. You can even swap between the two with a flick of the switch.
You can also shoot long and multiple exposures and add a flash for better images in poor light, all from a film camera that's small enough to fit into your trouser pocket – unless that flash is attached. Prices vary depending on the package you got for, but sell from £46.90 with the 'Shoot Forever' Diana Mini Book thrown in for free.
Two key looks in retro interiors are the pure white of space-age design and the warmer feel of walnut. The Slider Coffee Table is a piece of furniture that combines both those styles, so the hopeless indecisive (such as myself) doesn’t need to decide between the two.
The table comprises of two parts; a sold pure white table and wood veneer over table. The latter can be moved around and adjusted to suit your needs and space.
The Slider Coffee Table costs £371 from Danetti.
Thought dominoes couldn't get cool? Well, you've obviously not seen the Keith Haring Domino Set.
It's dominoes, but not as you know it – instead of dots on a plain background, you get some Haring 80s-style street art, which comes packed in a rather cool Haring-style box.
It's fun on a rainy day, as well as a stylish thing to have about the place. Yours for £40.

Dali’s iconic images of melting clocks were always going to be an obvious target for merchandising opportunities.
This Dali Wall Clock isn’t the most faithful interpretation of Dali’s timepieces, but it retains some of the surreal spirit while still being functional. Rather than the whole clock melting, here the clock is still a traditional circle, but it is the numbers and hands that have been distorted.
The clock costs just under £20 and is available to buy from Vertigo Interiors.
Can't say I know much about the maker, but there's no denying the period charm of this Cos.Mo desk lamp.
A 1960s Italian design, it's made of stainless steel, with the base made from four segments of flattened oblong shaped steel with a jointed arm and a curved perforated steel shade.
Condition is described as being 'in great shape', but you might want to check the images on the site for a close-up look. Best of all is the price – right now it's just £3.32, which makes it an absolute steal.
