Smoking isn’t as socially acceptable as it once was, but there are other uses for matches – and when you find one, you’ll be glad you had these French Allumettes to hand.

Take your pick from eight vintage French boxes, dating from between 1910 and 1950, each containing 100 long matches, with a sleeve that should catch the eye and inspire a few modern-day designers.

Each box costs £1.50.

Not everyone can afford an Artichoke light fitting, but you can get the look on a budget with the Ikea Knappa pendant light.

Obviously taking inspiration from the Poul Henningsen classic, this Brylle/Jacobsen-designed fitting consists of polypropylene plastic leaves that combine to offer ‘soft mood light’ for your living room.

Complete with cabling (but not ceiling hook – as always with Ikea), you can pick it up for just £12.99.
