Inspired by the 60s and produced in the 1980s, the Leolux Pallone chair still catches the eye today.

Designer Roy de Scheemaker was apparently inspired by Goldfinger, Barbarella and vintage comic strips when creating the chair – and that ‘larger than life’ look is immediately evident.  You can relax in this ‘floating cushion’ or you can use it backwards should you want to sit upright. And even when it’s not in use, it’s going to get your guests talking.

As you might expect, not cheap – you’ll have to pay from £1,250 to get one in your home.

Looking futuristic, but at the same time, very much of its era is this Le Klint 172 pendant light.

It was designed by Poul Christiansen back in 1971 and available in various sizes to fit the size of your room. All are hand-folded in Denmark from a single flat sheet of plastic and come ready-assembled in the box, along with a white flex, rise cover and an ES lampholder.

Prices start at £146.

If you are on the look out for a chair to slide into, you’ll love the retro-styled Orb 72 chair.

The chair has just one armrest – giving you more freedom to lounge about in whatever way you like. And on the technical side, it has a plywood framework, with a felt fabric covering and a metallic base for support.

If you want to do some serious relaxing, you can pick one up for £1,200.
