You may have given up all dreams of being a rock legend and settled into a steady life of respectability, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t indulge in some fun home accessories such as this Smash Hits Guitar Shelf.
The shelf, designed by Rocket, is in the shape of a guitar, in a choice of either black or orange matt lacquer finish. The shelf is enhanced by vinyl wall decals with suitably rock n roll messages.
It costs £145 from Found Home Store.
This is actually one of two being sold by the seller, one of two Raphael Raffel space age Plexi Ball Chairs that is.
It's a fantastic 1970s space age design out of France, made of smoked plexi glass for the outer, with synthetic brown leather for the inner seating, finished off with that tulip-style base.
Condition is down as 'good', as well as being in 'original and unrestored' condition, so a few scratches and some wear to the upholstery. See the close-up images for the lowdown. No doubt this is a rare design, with a price to reflect that – £604.25 or you can make an offer.

Ikea's Slatthult aren't even the first time we've featured his style on decoration stickers – long time readers of the site may remember these decals from Supernice we featured a few years back. However, as you might expect, Ikea's pricing is the cheapest option by far.
Each pack contains the 14 stickers shown above, indicitive of Haring's art, itself influenced by 70s and 80s street.
And that price? A pack sells for just £7.99.
The packs are currently available instore only but you can find out more online.
Yes, yet another midcentury-inspired design from the current House of Fraser range – the Adelphi armchair.
It's a classic armchair that takes the 1950s for its inspiration and is exclusive to the House of Fraser store. For your money, you get that high back, slightly curved arms, stained and angled legs plus a finish in a lime green fabric. Good back support too apparently, if that's important to you.
It was £399, but £299 is the current price.

Not just a cool piece of midcentury design, this Hans Gugelot-designed Braun G11 valve radio is still in working order as a radio too.
Best known for his work with Dieter Rams, this 'solo' design from Gugelot offers up LW, MW and FM reception, maple veneers, a contrasting white face for the controls and a set of vintage valves within for a rich, warm sound.
As we mentioned earlier, it's offered in full working order, with the veneers in 'fair' condition, with some minor damage and marking – see the close-up shots on the sales page for more on that. But lt.'s be honest – this is well over 50 years old, so hardly surprising. A rare design, with the bidding price right now at £21.
