Habitat’s range is never as interesting as you hope, but just occasionally they do produce something that makes a visit worthwhile – like this Habitat space age Soap light fitting.

It’s essentially just a big round light fitting, the kind of thing that sold by the bucketload in the early 70s – and the kind of thing that would look great today if you have a room big enough (and indeed a ceiling high enough) to deal with it.

The pendant light is made from iridescent glass and measures up at W30 x H22 x L30cm. It retails for £75.

The chaise longue hasn’t really moved with the times – and even if you can find one, it’s likely to look like it’s straight out of an antique shop. That’s not the case with this Lucia chaise from Darlings of Chelsea.

In fact, despite the name, it looks absolutely nothing like a chaise longue, with its chair-like shape (which can be adjusted for sitting or lounging), soft foam mattress and headrest cushion, along with this fantastic 60s-style covering.

You can pick one up at the Manchester and London stores, or indeed online, with prices from £385.
