eBay watch: 1960s Hans Agne Jakobsson-designed pine ceiling lamp

Posted on | Leave a comment

Jacob

A great piece of vintage design – and this Hans Agne Jakobsson-designed pine ceiling lamp costs next to nothing right now.

Designed by Jakobsson in the 60s or possibly early 70s, it's a great midcentury-inspired piece, made of nine concentric pine laminates circles held by three vertical pine structures and organised so that they form a gap between each other. For the light to escape obviously.

Described as being in 'very good condition' and 'in full working order', it's currently available for just 99 pence.

eBay watch: 1960s Dieter Rams-designed Braun RT 20 radio

Posted on | Leave a comment

Rams

Apologies for featuring a vintage radio for a second day in succession, but I'm sure you'll agree that this Braun RT 20 radio is something special.

Designed in 1961 by Dieter Rams, it has the looks to match any radio past or present, with LW, MW and FM reception and a rich sound from those inner valves.

Judging by the description, it's in very good condition for a radio of its age – which makes that current £51 price tag all the more appealing.

eBay watch: Vintage Bang & Olufsen Beolit 609FM radio

Beolit

If the vintage looks of the Roberts Radio appeals, you might well like the look of this authentic classic that's now on eBay – the Bang & Olufsen Beolit 609FM radio.

The seller claims it is from the 70s, but it looks like a 60s design to us. Either way, it's got the look, no matter when it was made. We've not seen a better looking vintage radio in a long time.

The radio is in fully working condition, has FM, MW, LW and SW bands, individual control for bass and treble, two aerials and has a 'clean' battery compartment (no damage that is). All of that right now for just £16.63.

eBay watch: 1960s Stelton Cylinda Line Coffee Set by Arne Jacobsen

Posted on | 1 Comment

Cylinda

A 60s classic and as it stands, this Stelton Cylinda Line Coffee Set is a real giveaway.

Designed by Arne Jacobsen back in 1967 and still in production today, this particular set is described as 'old stock and genuinely unused', although it's worth noting that the tray and spoon are not Stelton, 'but the service was retailed in this way'.

Even so, this is an absolute bargain at its current £5.50 price. Check online for the price of the pieces new, that should show how much of a steal it really is.

eBay watch: 1970s pulldown eyeball pendant light

Posted on | Leave a comment

Dropdown

Another superb vintage light on eBay – this time a 1970s pulldown eyeball pendant light.

No maker or designer is accredited, but it is presumed to be from the 1970s, as well as being a Danish design from the era. For your money, you get a 360 degree rotating shade and drop-fall cord, the shade made of chrome plated steel for serious, eye-catching appeal.

According to the seller, it's in 'excellent condition and full working order', with a 'buy it now' price of £195 being asked (although you can also make an offer). The table obviously isn't included.

eBay watch: 1970s modernist-style chandelier

Posted on | Leave a comment

Modernist

A very interesting design – and this 1970s modernist-style chandelier isn't too expensive to pick up.

According to the seller, the fitting (one of three available) was fitted new in the late 70s, but was taken out of the building recently when it underwent a refit. Maybe they just wanted to save some money, as the fitting uses 22 bulbs, all 40w 'golf ball' lights. You'll need a high ceiling too, with the drop from top of the chrome to the bottom bulb is 84cm.

But it is a feature light, very of its era and at £160, cheaper than most reissued designer light fittings.
