Lee Broom recycled Decanter lighting range

Posted on | 1 Comment

Decanter

There's a lot of old decanters in junk shops and antique fairs, but thanks to Lee Broom and his Decanter suspension light range, there might be a few less in the future.

These are indeed lead crystal drinks decanters sourced from antique markets and vintage shops. Available in two finishes, the decanters are either left in their natural clear crystal or a unique polished gold has been applied for a more 'contemporary' finish.

Prices for the finished lighting start at £295.

Hollywood floor lamp from Marks and Spencer

Floor lamp

Always fancied yourself as a bit of a star from the golden age of cinema? While that may not be a very realistic daydream, you can at least capture some of the glamour from that era with this Hollywood floor lamp from Marks and Spencer. 

The lamp mimics the look of an old-fashioned spotlight with its large metal round shade and tripod legs. Top that off with the chrome finish and surely – at least in lighting terms – you will be ready for your close-up. 

The lamp costs £99.

1960s Piet Hein Sinus 330D table light reissued

Posted on | Leave a comment

Hein

A strange light – and one that doesn't come cheap – but there's no denying that the Piet Hein Sinus 330D table light is a stunning piece of midcentury Scandinavian design.

Originally designed in 1967, the Sinus 330D was originally produced in plastic, but didn't quite match up the designer's high standards. It was remade in glass, which is the version back on the market today.

Specifically, this flying saucer-like design has a shade in handblown glass, with a brushed steel frame and red contrasting cord. All of that will set you back a whopping £1,100.

1970s-style Mason table lamp from BHS

Table lamp
Unlikely as it seems, BHS seems to be the place to head if you want to buy retro style lighting on the high street, with this Mason table lamp being a perfect example.

The lamp could have come straight out of the seventies with its mushroom shape. The space age feel is then enhanced by its colour – it's available in orange and white. Made from glass and standing at 25cm high, it's a easy way to add a retro touch to a room.

And it's made even easier by the price. The lamp costs just £30.

eBay watch: A pair of 1960s Danish space age two tone ceiling lights

Posted on | Leave a comment

Danish

The maker? The year? We're not entirely sure, nor is the seller to be honest, so let's just say these are a pair of 1960s Danish hanging lights, which could prove to be really good value.

Likely to be 1960s but possibly sneaking into the 70as, this pair of lights is actually made of metal, with what looks like copper (or a copper colour) on top, with steel at the bottom, sized around 24cm diameter.

Condition is described as 'good' but they do have some small scratches due to age and use – see the full description for close-up shots of the affected areas. Right now, the price is just 1p for the two, although there's still some time to go.

Harlequin retro lamp base

Posted on | Leave a comment

Harlequin lamp
Harlequin's retro lamp base offers a touch of 70s style to your lighting. 

The chunky lamp base is made from painted resin, giving it a retro look. It's available in two colours – the taupe pictured, or a clean white looking version. All you need to do is pick a lamp shade to go with it and you've got yourself a stylish piece of lighting.

However, with the lamp base costing £80, it may well be necessary to economize slightly with your choice of shade…
