We have featured Brazilia Interiors previously, a company that focuses on the best design out of Brazil, both past and present – and this Aranha coffee table is certainly one of the gems from the current range.

Originally offered for sale in Brazil in the 1950s, the Aranha is a simple yet effective design by Roberto Aflalo, which sets a toughened glass on top of a sucupira base (a heavy and durable wood). There’s also room for a shelf underneath for your magazines and essentials.

This is a re-edition, not an original and it retails at a rather hefty £1950.

Sometimes the most simple designs can be the most eye-catching, like this J-Me Key Dootstop, based on a good old-fashioned Yale key.

And there’s not much else to say, expect that it is made of non-slip rubber and is sized at 150mm x 70mm, with a choice of colours that includes black, yellow and red.

You can pick one up online now, priced at £7.50.

We do like our weird and wonderful designs, but this Phone Box chair is probably taking things a step too far.

Designed to look like an old-style British phone box, the Phone chair (to use its listed name) is the work of ‘sculptural artist’ Finn Stone and is custom-built from fibre glass. There’s no mention of any padding for your behind and back.

A price is also missing, with the website stating that price is on application. Which probably means that it isn’t cheap.
