eBay watch: 1970s Raphael Raffel space age Plexi Ball Chair

Posted on | 2 Comments

Raffel

This is actually one of two being sold by the seller, one of two Raphael Raffel space age Plexi Ball Chairs that is.

It's a fantastic 1970s space age design out of France, made of smoked plexi glass for the outer, with synthetic brown leather for the inner seating, finished off with that tulip-style base.

Condition is down as 'good', as well as being in 'original and unrestored' condition, so a few scratches and some wear to the upholstery. See the close-up images for the lowdown. No doubt this is a rare design, with a price to reflect that – £604.25 or you can make an offer.

eBay watch: 1950s Hans Gugelot-designed Braun G11 valve radio

Posted on | Leave a comment

Braun

Not just a cool piece of midcentury design, this Hans Gugelot-designed Braun G11 valve radio is still in working order as a radio too.

Best known for his work with Dieter Rams, this 'solo' design from Gugelot offers up LW, MW and FM reception, maple veneers, a contrasting white face for the controls and a set of vintage valves within for a rich, warm sound.

As we mentioned earlier, it's offered in full working order, with the veneers in 'fair' condition, with some minor damage and marking – see the close-up shots on the sales page for more on that. But lt.'s be honest – this is well over 50 years old, so hardly surprising. A rare design, with the bidding price right now at £21.

eBay watch: 1980s clock and flip calendar

Posted on | Leave a comment

Perspex

It doesn't seem to have a brand attached to it, but this 1980s clock and flip calendar is both appealing and very useful.

The clock face is apparently made of black plastic, doing hours, minutes and seconds, as well as offering an alarm function. The flip calendar is…well, a flip calendar, as you would expect, sat alongside the clock and clad in that perspex casing.

The alarm clock is apparently in good condition and in full working order, with 'a few faint age related marks and scratches' on the Perspex casing. It also runs on a single AA battery. Right now, the price is at 99p.

eBay watch: 1960s Danish hanging light

Danish

A nice midcentury design for a reasonable amount of money (at least, at the moment) – this 1960s Danish hanging light.

Not one lamp, but three lamps, all made of brushed aluminium, with an orange-coloured inner, able to be positioned at varying levels. Decent condition, with no big scratches, dents or misshaping apparently.

Price? Right now it's just £2 for the lot.

eBay watch: 1970s Colani UFO ceiling light in orange

Colani

We did feature one of these back in 2010, but we've not seen a Colani UFO ceiling light in orange before.

it certainly looks impressive in that colour, along with the contrasting clear panels. Not bad condition either for something well over 30 years old. This 1970s space age classic in what's described as 'used but very good' condition – some minor wear, but nothing you would notice without a close inspection.

Check out loads of images on the listing and if you like it, the current price is £24.

eBay watch: 1960s Guzzini Clan table lamp

Posted on | Leave a comment

Clan

I don't like to feature similar items in our eBay spot day-to-day, but I feel compelled to feature this stunning 1960s Guzzini Clan table lamp, despite featuring a Guzzini lamp just last week.

It's just an amazing space age design, as well as quite a rare one. According to the seller, the lamp, part of a series produced by the company from 1968 to 1977 and was designed by the in-house Studio 6G team. Its shape screams the era – sat on a plastic plinth, it can move around to angle the light wherever you want it.

But just as importantly, it seems to be in great condition, with 'just minor traces of use' and with the Guzzini sticky label still attached. A few bids on it already, but at £67.06, it's still a bargain.
