Another astoundingly modern-looking design dating back to the Bauhaus heyday, the Albers Nesting Tables have been reissued by Vitra.

Designed by Josef Albers for the house of a Berlin psychoanalyst Fritz Moellenhaf, they combine geometric shapes with bold colours, turquoise, yellow, red and blue, lacquered underneath glass tops.

They cost £1030 from The Lighthouse. Not cheap but remember for that price, you are getting four tables, which doesn’t make it seem quite so bad!

In the quest to find the ultimate statement seating, the Tokyo Soft Lounge Chair must come pretty near the top of the list. The combination of pure white leather and its distinctive curves make it hard to ignore.

Designed by Tokujin Yoshioka for Driade, it costs just under £1,400. There is a small cheaper version, the Tokyo Pop also available for less than £600.

It’s a bold and striking piece of furniture but not very practical, especially if you’ve got pets or small children. However, it does also come in other colours (including a great orange) which might be more functional.
