Larkin pine sideboard from Graham and Green

Larkin sideboard
This Larkin pine sideboard is part of Graham and Green's new spring collection. 

The sideboard has been designed to have a vintage look, with all those drawer handles giving it the look of an old plan chest. However, appearances in this case are deceptive and the sideboard is more suited to twenty-first century storage needs: the sideboard actually is made of just two drawers at the top with two large cupboards below with a central shelf. 

Not cheap but, if you like the look, the sideboard costs £875

Graham and Green Pineapple Lamp Base

Screen shot 2011-01-16 at 22.04.27

No home with kitsch ambitions can be without an ornamental pineapple of some sort. Ever since Columbus bought them back from the West Indies, the pineapple has been a symbol of all things exotic and the luxurious Polynesian-themed tiki bars that popped up all over the US during the 1930s wouldn't be the same without being adorned by the fruit.

This Pineapple lamp base from Graham and Green in antiqued silver is stylish modern take on the mid 20th century tiki exotica trend, meaning you can save the real pineapples for garnishing all those rum drinks.

The lamp is £95 from Graham & Green. Find out more from the website.

Newgate Underground Station clock

Underground station clock
Newgate are well-known for their vintage-inspired clocks. There's no prize for guessing where the idea for their new Underground Station clock comes from.

Increasingly a rarer sight in stations, this clock replicates some of the old tube platform clocks. It's got bold black hands and markers, with red 24-hour numerals around the clock face and even reads 'Tube Station clock' along its bottom rim. It's been artfully distressed to give it a vintage look too. 

No need to search one out in salvage yards, this one comes ready made and aged for £55.

Metropolis Deco plant stand

Metropolis

If you've spent days lovingly nurturing your house plants, they surely deserve to be presented in style. Take a look at this Metropolis plant stand, inspired by 1930s Art Deco. 

Although the natural world of plants doesn't offer the most obvious link to the Machine Age, the design references the slick skyscrapers of the period. The tall metallic frame is topped off with black granite shelves and would be the finishing touch for a glamorous interior. You'll just have to make sure you don't ruin the look by using a plastic plant pot! 

The stand costs £155.

Both are adjustable via wing nut fittings, with on/off switches located on the top of the respective light heads. The table/desk version is yours for £130, the floor for £189. See an image of the latter over the page.
