If you think the PK8 chairs and PK58 table from Fritz Hansen have the look of the 1970s, you’ll be right – because they’re based on designs from that decade.

The designs were the work of Poul Kjaerholm and date back to 1978. However, they never made it into production due to the cost of the work involved creating the curves. But the 70s’ loss is our gain, with the dining set making it into the new Fritz Hansen range.

The table has a strong white polyester composite top and aluminium base, while the chairs are made of a strong plastic material with an aluminium base, both available in either black or white.

A stunning design, but at a price – chairs retail for £532 each, with the table retailing  at £2,163.

Cool design doesn’t have to cost a fortune – check out this Cubik table lamp as a prime example.

Designed by Luc Gensollen, the lamp has a base of polished aluminium, with a clear bulb giving out the light, complemented by a transparent cable.

The whole thing has a modernist vibe to it, but whether you’re going for a 30s look or something more modern, £55 seems a reasonable price to pay for a very stylish piece of lighting.

With a name like the Twiggy lamp, you would expect this to be a product of the sixties. But it’s actually a very modern piece of design.

The work of Mark Sadler and manufactured by Italian firm Foscarini, it’s not unlike the classic 60s Arco lamp, with that big overhang, but a more traditional shade and much thinner stem.

Made of glass fibre and chrome and available in a choice of four finishes, the Twiggy lamp retails for £764.
