If only all conservatory furniture was as cool as the Poul Kjaerholm 1950s PK22 easy chair.
Actually, this 1956 design is not just a conservatory chair, the PK22 also comes in leather or suede for a minimalist easy chair for the living room, with both models offering a stainless steel spring base for that extra bit of comfort and support.

Casual retro tops are a rare treat for women, as dresses and eveningwear dominate the vintage inspired looks on offer. If you're looking for the perfect top to compliment that well chosen mini, try this L.A.M.B. Sweetheart top.
The graphic frost optics print provides a cool, geometric look. The monochrome colour scheme combines with the cute, angular neckline to give something of an updated nod to a sixties mod look. This might not stop traffic on its own, but with a plain black a-line skirt it could be the top your wardrobe's been waiting for.

Designer Eric Pfeiffer apparently created the Scando Coffee Table in response to the needs of young children, something to do with its low soft form being inviting and aiding standing up. However, we like it because of its interesting shape and retro style.
Besides helping children to stand, the curved edge could be used to store magazines. It is available in four veneer finishes; birch, white, oak or walnut. Prices start at £560 for the birch up to £677 for the Walnut.
The Scando Coffee Table is available to buy from Nest.
Maybe a little early to be thinking about holiday wear but interesting retro swimwear is often hard to find, so I was pleased to come across this 50s Pin-Up Bikini.
This bikini is white with a fun print of retro pin-up girls and tattoo style birds, arrows and banners. The pants have a cute little frill around the top.
It is available in sizes extra small to large and costs a very reasonable £28 from Urban Outfitters.
Continuing their growing collection of excellent retro reproductions, Bettie Page Clothing has just released some new designs on their website. Their pinup style aesthetic, inspired by Miss Page herself, is done to a tee in each of their dresses.
This Bubble Gum dress is one of the more sweet designs, and is ideal for the coming warmer months. The saccharine pink shade is offset by a decidedly slinky fit and silhouette. The figure-hugging bodice avoids being oversexed, though, by the addition of the prim collar detailing.

Another gem from the mind of Jonathan Adler – the Capri Genie pendant light.
It really does pack that 1970s vibe, from the shape right through to the choice of colour (as the two above clearly show). For your money, you get the coloured glass pendant shade with polished nickel accents and room for a 60w bulb.
It's sized around 8.5 inches high, with a 13.25-inch diameter, while the cable should allow a drop of up to 132.75 inches. You can buy one online for $195.
