Poker is big business these days, so it’s a good time for Zanotta to give a reissue to the Joe Colombo Poker Table.

Whether you play poker or not, it’s a stylish item – although card players will certainly appreciate the removable leather-trimmed green baize. Other features of this 1968 design include stainless steel legs, a white layered plastic laminate top, a geometric square shape and swing-out corner pieces for your drinks.

None of which comes cheap – expect to pay around £2,400.

It’s amazing how easy it is to get a look without paying a fortune – and this Stromboli space age pendant light and B&Q Rainbow pendant light sum it up perfectly.

For anyone wanting to go high-end, the 70s-style Stromboli fitting (to your left) offers an aluminium bowl shade with a diameter of 15.75 inches and those slits to create an interesting light effect. If you want something cheaper, the Rainbow pendant from B&Q offers similar styling, but with a single slit and slightly smaller diameter.

So what’s the difference in cash? Well, the Stromboli is offered for sale at the equivalent of £125, while B&Q’s Rainbow comes in at a much more affordable £18.98.

Ok, here’s the background. Verner Panton designed the New Wave lighting range back in 1984 for Danish design house Holmegaard. But Holmegaard and indeed the 1980s wasn’t ready for it, so the designs were left to gather dust in the Holmegaard basement. Until now that is.

Because it’s finally been issued by the company, looking every bit the contemporary lighting range – showing just how ahead of his time Panton was. Choose from a table lamp, floor lamp, wall lamp or pendant, all with an undulating surface that’s as much sculpture as lighting.

Prices start at £247.
