More George Nelson – and I make no apologies for that when something is as stunning as this George Nelson Home desk.

They didn’t have desktop PCs in 1955 (the year this was first introduced), so don’t expect this to house one. It should hold a laptop though, as well as being a cool place to write your letters – if you still write letters.

Comprising of chromed metal tubing, white laminate, wooden walnut veneer & coloured partitions, it retails for a not inconsiderable £2936.

We do love the designs of George Nelson here at Retro To Go, but we’ve focused in the past on his clocks. Well, it’s about time we shifted our eye elsewhere, starting with the George Nelson Coconut Chair.

Another of the man’s designs that defies its age – this originally appeared in 1955, taking its name quite obviously from the look – the designer himself compared it to a segment of coconut, albeit with a reversal of colour.

The chair itself, now reissued by Vitra, comprises of a white fibreglass-reinforced plastic outer shell, with black upholstery sat on a chromed tubular steel base. And prices vary according to your choice of upholstery, starting at £517.50, rising to £3208.50 at Nest.

Everyone needs a tea towel – and if you’re in the market for a new one, how about something a little quirky like this Mid Century Chairs tea towel.

Pretty much as the name says – this is a superb reference to a range of mid century seating, or even  party game of ‘name that chair’! The tea towel has a black print on a white 100 per cent cotton towel and of course, is machine washable.

And while many of these chairs might be out of your budget, this 78cm x 50cm tea towel shouldn’t be – available now for £9.
