To celebrate 30 years of one of the most famous arcade games ever created, Zippo has created a range of Pac-Man lighters in conjunction with Banpresto.

The designs are all a variation on the Pac-Man theme (like the one above), with the characters attached to a classic Zippo lighter that works pretty much like every other windproof Zippo in the world.

But before you run out to your local tobacconist, there are a couple of problems. Firstly, the lighters aren't available until November and secondly, it looks like they might be Japan only. Which probably means hunting around import and auction sites to get one. Hopefully that will not be the case – we'll keep you posted.

A modern take on a gentlemen's club classic – the Baker and Belgae Self wing chair for Rume.

Something of an over-dramatic update on the wing chair, Self offers up a raked back, button detail, hardwood frame and slim legs, along with a choice of fabric or leather for the upholstered finish.

Made to order, you can get your order in now – prices start at £1,560.

We have featured the table version of this in the past, but never the Verner Panton Pantop pendant light. However, as it's been just been reissued in some bold new colour options for 2009, it seems like the perfect time to put that right.

First produced back in 1980, the Pantop is distinctive for its bell-like shade, produced in metal and accompanied by a chrome ceiling  canopy, white fabric wire and an engraved Verner Panton signature.

The green version is accompanied by a pink version, both selling for £220.
