Sometimes simple designs are the best, and this Beach Hut Blue Striped Deckchair is a good example.

The deckchair hardly deviates from the classic style. It has a wooden frame and a vintage style blue and white striped sling. The only addition to the timeless design is the cushion that is strapped to the top of the deckchair to make it more comfortable.

The Beach Hut Blue Striped Deckchair costs £60 from The Contemporary Home.

Victorian Bench by Michael Warren Design

An update on an object you might still see everyday – the Victorian Bench by Michael Warren Design.

Yes, a classic bench, the kind you might see in any park of age and a design that recalls 'traditonal values' and 'invites passers by to sit and enjoy conversation and sunshine,' according to the designer. You don't need a park to enjoy it either, should look great in any garden.

The construction materials aren't clear, but it's certainly a wood of some sort. But we do know the price – £400. Contact Michael Warren Design for stockists.

Seed boxes by Clifford Richards

OMB seed

The seed box gets an update with these designs by Clifford Richards.

There's a choice of four different looks from the designer to choose from. There's the Second World War inspired Dig for Victory version pictured or, for something more associated with Richard's graphic Pop art style, take a look at the 'Grow your own' design. The other two designs feature colourful depiction of vegetables, both in a retro style. 

They work on a practical level too. They're made from heavy gauge steel to keep rodents out, with six ventilated compartments for seeds, and can be either mounted on the wall or left free standing. 

Quite an investment at £82 each but think of the money you could save on buying veg in the long term. 

Buy them from the Original Metal Box company
