Another mid-century design classic that’s still on the market today – the Arne Jacobsen AJ Royal pendant light.

It was designed by Jacobsen back in 1957 as a fitting for the AS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. And it still looks ever bit as stylish 50 years on, especially when you flick the switch, with light from the bottom as well as through the stepped rings on the top to create an eye-catching ceiling effect.

Two sizes of the aluminium light fitting available, with prices starting around the £400 mark.

Wall-mounted shelving units aren’t as common as they once were, but they could make a comeback if they all looked as good as the Jean Prouvé Rayonnage Mural range for Vitra.

This particular shelving range was created by Prouvé back in 1936, offering functional book shelving or general storage from bent sheet metal and solid oak (stained or natural). All of which evokes an era, but at the same time, looks timelessly stylish.

Choose from small or large units, with prices starting at £699.
