Moooi might be a contemporary design company – but they make furnishings with a classic look – and in the case of this Moooi Mellow Armchair – one that could fit into any retro home.

It’s made from solid European oak and available in a variety of different finishes, and in this case upholstered in Moooi’s retro Kvadrat Divina cloth, but is also available in your own fabric at special request.

It’s available in a single, double or triple seater, with prices between £2163 and £4352.

If you prefer a genuine classic as opposed to an Ikea copy, how about something that screams the 1960s – the Eero Aarnio Bubble Chair.

It was introduced in 1968, very much in the style of the Ball Chair, but a little more stripped down. The idea was to make a chair that allowed in the light, but swallows the sound – so you still feel isolated from the outside world. The shell is made of acrylic, with a chromed steel bar around the edge. There’s also a two metre chain and hooks for hanging and a silver fabric or leather inside cushioned seat.

You can still buy the Bubble Chair, but it’s not cheap. An officially-sanctioned version should cost you around £2300.

Ok, this isn’t quite a copy of the design classic, but the Tirup chair from Ikea has obviously taken its design influence from Arne Jacobsen’s Egg Chair.

Designed by Carl Öjerstam and available in a black/white or black/yellow colour combination, it’s made from moulded high-resilient polyurethane foam, which should mean it keeps its shape – and offer a comfortable place to sit. It’s also got a chrome swivel base and a 100 per cent cotton cushion cover.

If you can’t afford a design classic, this should keep you going until you can. It retails for £215.
