When it comes to buying a Dansette off eBay, you have two choices. Either opt for something you need to do up yourself on the cheap or pay big for something that's already had the full treatment. Something like this fully-restored 1960s Dansette Monarch record player with legs.
Not sure the concept of product and designer are obvious matches, but this is a Verner Panton Throw, which has been reissued by VerPan.
We've featured the iconic Tam Tam Stool on many occasions, a 1960s space classic and perhaps the most affordable piece of design around. If you are a fan, you might like it in miniature – as the Branex Design TamSpice.
If we are talking timeless and classic, you really can't go far wrong with this Levi's Vintage 1967 Type III Trucker Jacket in jet black cord.

If you want a three-seater Robin Day-designed Habitat Days Forum sofa, you'll be looking at a price in excess of £2,000 at the Habitat website. But if you shop at a certain auction site, you can get one for much less.
