Available now, it sells for £24.
For music aficionados, you can’t beat a vintage-style valve audio system – and the Logic3 Valve80 offers it up on an affordable, iPod-friendly unit.
It’s not a bad looker either, with a metallic stand and those glass valves nestling up to your iPod or iPhone – and you can use it with a CD player or vinyl decks too, with up to 80w of ‘warm’ valve-based audio produced through the matching speakers.
Available from December, it sells for £299.
Available to buy from sustainable design experts, One Eco Home, the Retro Salvage Dining Table has been fashioned from the salvage of old kitchen around Edinburgh.
The table top is made from 100% reclaimed chipboard with durable synthetic surfaces (formica/melmine/vinyl) and the base is reclaimed solid wood, in some cases dating as far back in the 1960s. Each table is unique so colours will vary, but you can discuss colour options with the company and the table can be made to your bespoke size.
It costs £800 for the standard size 180cm x 80cm x 76cm. Visit One Eco Home for more details.
Designed by Vancouver based company Torre & Tagus, the Pod Vase is a decidedly space-age design.
Made from white ceramic, it stands at nearly 56cm high. To complement its sleek design, it would be best filled with simply blooms or even left empty to show off its curves!
It costs £33 from Iggloo.
It might look like a space age design, but the Santa & Cole Cadaques armchair actually dates from around 10 years earlier.
1959 was the year of its introduction, the work of Federico Correa, Alfonzo Mila and Miguel Mila, the Cadaques (and matching sofa) was designed for lounging – specifically in the seaside town of Cadaques (hence the name).
It’s sat on walnut-coloured beech legs, with simple (and easy to maintain) hand-swen upholstery keeping you supported. Looks good and feels good – what more could you want? Well, maybe a drop in the price – currently retailing for £2,350.
