If you’re going for a period look, you need period furnishings – and if you want to go 50s on an epic scale, you might want a 1950s wooden chandelier.
This fitting, with six arms, handmade passament hanging and a carved and painted wood body is custom finished and measures 100cm in diameter. All you need to do is connect the 6x 60w bulbs and choose your colour option.
Oh yes – and save up too. It’s priced at a whopping £2,375.63.
A mod with a drink problem? You really can’t be without this Target flask.
Yes, this six ounce round flask will have just enough capacity to store your strong liquor if you ever need a nip, but with an eye-catching design, polite company will be drawn to the look rather than your drinking habit.
Available online, it’s yours for £26.50.

I like Dwell – because they offer some really good design (including some nice retro-styled items) at reasonable prices. And one such item that’s new to the range is this Cross Base swivelling armchair.
Obviously taking some inspiration from the Verner Panton Cone Chair, but at a fraction of the price of one, it has a solid wood frame, brushed steel legs and a mixed fibre covering in a grey/brown.
Comfortable and stylish, the chair is available later this month, priced at £275.

Just because your computer looks dull, that doesn’t mean your desk has to. And it should look a lot brighter with these JBL Spot space age speakers.
It’s a 2.1 speaker system for PC or Mac, available in white, but with interchangeable covers if you get bored of that. Total output is about 40w from the subwoofer and two speakers and there’s touch control for volume plus connectivity to use it with other devices and MP3 players.
Available online, you can pick it up for around £69.
Mod-friendly footwear anyone? You don’t get much more 60s in look than these Franco Sarto 60s-style Fresca shoes.
In a period-friendly black and white colour scheme, the Fresca features a high-shine tumbled patent leather, metal buckle and a two-inch heel.
As far as we can see, they’re not available in the UK (unless you know better), but in the US, you can pick up a pair for $89.95 (around £45).
Cheap, cheerful and pretty cool – these Audrey Hepburn greetings cards.
Five in a set, each featuring a different image of the screen legend and complete with envelopes. The cards measure 5.75 inches x 4.5 inches and have no message inside – so you just add your own.
Available from the Monkey Do Collective, a pack retails for $8 (around £4).
