According to the blurb on the David Linley website, the St Moritz chair gets its name from the "sweeping lines of the ski tracks on the curving slopes". And it almost certainly gets a hefty dose of inspiration from classic design from the late 50s/early 60s.

This occasional chair has concave arms and seat, with support from a grey steel frame. And it’s comfortable – thanks to 288 individual micro springs, which should also help to keep the shape. There’s also polished brass detailing on the end of the walnut arms and on the feet to protect hard floor surfaces.

Available to order online, prices start at £1750.

Looking to brighten up a dull room? You should check out these retro table lamps.

Two colour schemes available – red and black, with the added bonus on the black model of a striped base. The bases are also ceramic, which gives them an expensive that look that belies their true cost.

And that cost is? Just £32 each.

If anyone can do the 70s well, it should be Habitat. After all, they’ve probably got all the old design books somewhere – and the rights to reproduce them. I’m not sure if this Bluff pendant light is an original design – but it certainly looks the part.

It’s made of aluminium, available in a vintage shade of grey and with a fantastic period look that would sit (or hang) well in any 70s-themed room.

You can pick one up now for £45.
