Good and interesting design is nearly always timeless. And if you didn’t know any better, you would probably think the George Nelson Petal Clock – or at the most, something from the 80s. Well, in actual fact, the clock was in production originally from 1956 to 1958.

It’s now been re-introduced by Vitra to the original specification, with construction from lacquered MDF and metal. The only update is a battery-powered quartz movement, powered by a single AA battery.

You can pick one up for £152.

Some time back we featured the 50s-style Hip Haven Modwire lighting. In a similar style (well in shape anyway) and much cheaper are these retro faux suede table lamps.

The design is probably more 60s than 50s, with a shade of faux suede with "punched" pattern and in a choice of colours. There’s also a chrome base, with control just a matter of touching it.

And best of all, they’re cheap – you can pick one up for £14.99, with free delivery.

There seemed to be a lot of interest in yesterday’s Retro Cassette tote bag. So we thought we would feature another cassette-based product – this time, the Mix Tape Wonder Wallet from Tangled Up In Blue.

The cassette wallet is one of a range of designs, all with sections for money and change, plus separate areas for chequebooks and receipts, plus clear pockets for your cards. And it all snaps shut with a contrasting tab.

Sized at 8 inches x 4.5 inches, you can pick one up online for $32 (around £16).
