Not just a watch, the R2-D2 Whizzwatch doubles up as a radio-controlled robot.
Yes, everyone’s favourite movie droid is back, this time as a Star Wars-themed watch – just unclip R2-D2 from the watch, place it on your desk, then use the digital watch’s buttons to move your little friend around.
The set comes complete with both batteries and spare batteries, as well as a screwdriver to slot them in, selling for £19.95.
Over 40 years after its launch, the Colombo desk lamp still looks ahead of its time.
As the name suggests, the lamp was designed by Joe Colombo, back in 1962. It fires out indirect light via a perspex diffuser, with a lacquered steel base keeping it in place (and adding a touch more style).
Probably too good to hide away in an office – especially when it retails for £1,237.

Nothing quite says ‘I’m the boss’ like the Arne Jacobsen Oxford office chair.
This classic design was first produced by Jacobsen in 1962 for St Catherine’s College, Oxford, but is now in wider circulation via Fritz Hansen. The upholstered swivel chair has an upper section of moulded wood, with a base of satin polished aluminium. And like all good office chairs, there’s plenty of scope to rise up and down via a gaslift mechanism.
If a bonus or a big contract comes your way, it sells from £993.

Disguising clever, but unattractive modern technology in style of the past is clearly a growth industry with the flat-screen television being the most popular item for makeover.

Made from a mixture of solid and veneer hardwoods, the console is available in black walnut or cherry and can be custom-built according to the size of your television.
