Danform Curve1 Chair

CURVE1Blowup 
These simple, yet decidedly retro-looking chairs are the Curve1 Chair by Danform.

Not to be confused with Panton’s Curve Chair and its imitators, this dining chair from Denmark is created by a leading manufacturer of bentwood furniture. It is available in a choice of black or white leather, wenge stained or walnut veneer. The chairs cost £85 each (or £30 extra for walnut veneer) which seems a reasonable price, but you must order a minimum of four chairs (which is probably a sensible number of dining chairs really).

House of Chintz Lamp Shades

Caravan_of_love 
Pattern designer and painter, Kate Boyce produces homewares under the name House of Chintz. As that glorious name would suggest, her work is inspired by suburban English landscapes of days gone by.

Her lampshades are inspired by the landscapes she grew up with, and use her own photography, combined with scans of vintage floral fabric from the 70s and 80s. Pictured here is the Caravan of Love design, which includes the favourite mobile holiday home of the 70s; other designs show houses and streets. The lampshades measure 30cm in diameter and can be used for ceiling or on a base.

The shades cost £65 from Radiance Lighting.

Cappellini & Walt Disney Signature Limited Edition Rive Droite Armchair

58004291fo_12_f 
The Cappellini & Walt Disney Signature Rive Droite Armchair is a limited edition piece (just 99 numbered pieces in the series) and part of a collaboration between the two brands.

On first glance, I thought the fabric covering this chair was a Missoni design as it has that same retro look, but as closer inspection reveals, it is the iconic Disney logo in an overlapping repeat print. As you might expect, this chair isn’t cheap – it will probably set you back more than a family trip to DisneyLand at £3,102.

If you have that sort of money to space, order it online from Yoox.

eBay watch: 1970s mushroom-style table lamp in orange

Orange

A real 'statement' piece for your living room – this mushroom-style table lamp in orange.

Out of the 1970s, but still cutting a fine figure in the modern era, the lamp has a base and top of chrome-plated metal, with that bold orange shade in plastic. Tall too – standing at 20 inches (50cm), with 'very, very good above-average' stated for the condition.

eBay watch: Midcentury Danish rocking chair

Danish

I love this design – and the midcentury Danish rocking chair isn't too expensive as I write.

It's a refurbished design, with what looks like a good job on it too. The cushions have new foam adhering to current fire regulations, with new upholstery in a textured green fabric plus a restored solid teak frame. It's even got brand new webbing.

The design is still intact though, with those lovely curves and sloping back. £79.99 is the current bid price.
