Alvar Aalto 1930s Armchair 400

Aalto_armchair400

It might be over 70 years old, but the Armchair 400 still looks as contemporary as anything you’ll see on the market.

The work of Alvar Aalto back in 1935, it packs those distinctive Aalto curves and some seriously soft cushions for comfort. And upholstery options are endless – everything from a plain leather (above) to a zebra skin pattern.

A timeless design classic with the inevitable high price – from £2,740.

Bruno Munari 1960s Cubovo trolley reissued

Cubovo

It might look like a cut-down Boby trolley, but the Bruno Munari Cubovo trolley actually pre-dates the Jo Colombo effort by a good eight years.

This 1962 design is made from lacquered wood and glass in a variety of bright colours (or a simple white), all with wheels for moving around and good for just about any storage use you can think of.

Porro has just reissued this design classic, but for a price – £1,379 to be precise.

Available now for £169.99.

Sergio Mazzer Alfa table lamp

Mazzer

It might have the art deco looks, but the Alfa table lamp by Sergio Mazzer actually dates back to the late 50s.

1959 to be precise, the first lamp put into production by Artemide and back in production by that same company today. For the not inconsiderable price, you get a black marble base, a metal stem in opaque nickel plate, crystal glass diffuser and the knowledge that the whole thing is hand-finished and a slice of design history.

Available online, you can pick one up for £341.
