eBay watch: 1950s Frank Guille Trimma cabinet for Kandya
I know we tend to focus on eBay items with very low starting prices, but this 1950s Frank Guille Trimma cabinet for Kandya is well worth flagging up, even at the higher price.
Vitra Hang It All by Charles and Ray Eames – walnut and basic dark special edition
There was a similar special edition out in the US a couple of years back, but due to rights issues, it never made it to the UK. Not to worry, the walnut and basic dark special edition Vitra Hang It All by Charles and Ray Eames is now available in the UK, should you want a variation on the classic theme.
You can still buy the original 1953 midcentury design classic if you wish, but this is a more subdued limited edition, the plastic coated steel frame going darker, while the coloured balls have been replaced with wooden balls in walnut. Slightly more 'grown up' if you like.
Get one while you can, £182 is the price.
Midcentury-inspired Oliver Rocker by & Then Design
It's a design team we have mentioned before, specifically with its lounge chair and cabinet collection, but the Oliver Rocker by & Then Design has slipped under our radar for some reason.
Not anymore, here it is. Inspired by 1950s Scandinavian design, this midcentury-style gem is available in both beech (pictured above) and oak, with the frame created using traditional woodworking techniques. Once complete, it is finished off with an upholstered cushion with a deep-buttoned pattern.
A timeless piece, that's for sure, it's priced from £860.

eBay watch: Original 1950s midcentury plant stand
A few of these appear on eBay and are always popular. But this original 1950s midcentury plant stand comes with a very low starting price.
Whether you use it for your plants or ornaments, it's still an eye-catching piece. The main triangular table is made of chipboard and finished with a cream Formica top with a gold and black plastic rim. The table also has three removable wooden feet placed at a slight angle, a wooden stem and three small platforms each made of chipboard with Formica tops.
The Plant Stand is described as being 'in very good vintage condition', with some 'age related scratches and marks' on the Formica tops, but nothing significant. Just 99p right now.
