At first glance, you might be thinking Guzzini, but this is actually a Double Dijkstra Arc lamp.
This eye-catching 1970s design consists of two chromed metal arcs and two plastic shades, the plastic being double layered with a white interior contrasting with the brown outer shade. There's also an on/off switch and the option to move both shades individually from each other.
Fancy it? The condition is described as 'very good' and the price right now is £28.21.
The Chalkboard Wall Graphic is another product designed for those of us who tend to look back at school days with rosy-tinted nostalgia.
The graphic consists of a 60cm by 50cm rectangular piece of matt vinyl, which can be applied or removed easily from your walls as you fancy. It is supplied with a pack of coloured chalk for you to write with on the graphic, which can be wiped clean.
The chalkboard graphics cost £21 each from Caroline McGrath.
The Sagemcom Sixty Telephone combines the best retro design with a host of modern features.
Design-wise, it is in the style of a classic telephone, except the handset is cordless. The orange finish adds to its retro appeal. Its handy modern features include automatic power management, 150-name phone book and a 20-minute answering machine.
It is available to buy from John Lewis for just under £99.95.
New in at Pedlars are these Reconditioned Wall Telephones.
They look like the classic 500 series phones in shape, but they are designed to be wall mounted, which makes them that little bit more unusual. The phone is available in either black or ivory and they have the old-fashioned rotary dial, rather the modern push buttons.
The telephone costs £235 from Pedlars.
The illustrator, Jules, has created a range of limited edition cushions, which includes this Girl Cushion.
The cushion features a cartoon girl who looks similar to the cult Blythe dolls from the 1960s, with her large eyes and indifferent expression. The cushions measures 40cm by 40cm and has the print on one side with a faux suede reverse. There are only 250 of these cushions available and each is sold in a gift box with a Certificate of Authenticity.
You can buy the Girl cushion for £35.50 from Still for Life.
There's a common misconception that all northern towns are made up long terraced streets and social housing, all of which is available for the price of a large family car. As the likes of the Domus house in Burnley and the Farnley Hey house in Huddersfield show, interesting architecture does exist in the northern half of the UK. In fact, here's another interesting property – this modernist-inspired five-bedroom house in Bolton, Lancashire.
The agent's historical details are virtually non-existent, but we believe it was designed in the late 70s, possibly the early 80s, with influences probably from both modernist and midcentury architecture. It was certainly designed and constructed by the current owners and sits fairly high up overlooking one of the main roads into the town and set in an acre of landscaped grounds. The exterior has certainly been well-maintained and updated over the years, while the interior has been given more of a traditional look. Although most of that (except maybe the entrance hall) would be easy to take that out and throw in the 'period' interior look it deserves.
