The Matchbox Light is new in at MarMar Co this autumn.

As you can see from the picture here, the light has been designed to look like a traditional matchbox and it opens and closes like matchbox, allowing you to control how much light it emits. Available available with either orange or yellow lining, the light measures considerably more than a real matchbox at 17cm x 17cm x 7cm. It is environmentally sound , being made from recycled cardboard and FSC certified paper.

Buy it online from MarMar Co priced £32.50.

eBay watch: 1960s Kaiser New Bauhaus lamp

Posted on | Leave a comment

Kaiser

A really special design – and this 1960s Kaiser New Bauhaus lamp is just £2.20 right now.

According to the seller, Kaiser lights got together with original Bauhaus metal workshop 'master' Christian Dell in the early 60s, prodicing the New Bauhaus Kaiser light series as a result. This is a lamp from that series, with a base made of solid teakwood, two straight arms of chromed brass and a 'cubic' dark grey / black shade.

The seller says it is in 'very good' condition and has undergone a serious clean. Right now it's a steal at that £2.20 price, plus postage from Germany.

Clifford Richards Robot Night Night Light

Robot-night-light3
We've featured some of his  original prints at Elphicks last week and have previously given quite a lot of love and attention to Clifford Richards' robot designs but have only just come across his robot Night Night Light. 

The wonderfully retro robot shape is made from recycled powdered steel and would be perfect for a kids bedroom. To up the eco credentials, it's solar powered and come bed time, the robot is backlit by a warm glow. Other animal-inspired shaped night lights are available, but this is definitely the favourite option for a good night. 

The light costs £38.

eBay watch: 1970s-style Habitat Perspex Table Light

Conran

It's a reissue, but this Habitat Perspex Table Light is still a rarely-seen item.

Originally sold in the early 70s in Habitat stores, this is a late 90s reissue in a clear perspex, as opposed to the 'smoked' original. Everything else is as it was, right down to the flatpack – you'll still have to make it yourself when you get it through the post.

It's been 'used' but us described as being in 'great condition', with a good price too right now – just £9.30.

Present Time retro table lamp

Posted on | Leave a comment

Present time lamp
The retro table lamp by Present Time does exactly what it claims to do. In this case, the 'retro' is a 60s look with the ball head of the lamp giving it a Space Age look. Add to this a metallic stand and trim, contrasting to a bright red head, and it's a neat looking design for not very much outlay. Not such a fan of the red? The lamp is also available in a subtler black or a spacey silver.

It's also currently reduced in price. It was on sale for £50 but is now selling for £37.50.

eBay watch: 1970s Nova ceiling lamp by Fog and Morup

Nova

An interesting light fitting for not a lot of cash on offer right now – this Nova ceiling lamp by Fog and Morup.

According to the seller, it was designed in the 1970s by Jo Hammerborg for Fog and Morup, Denmark, made up of three concentric lampshades made of sheet metal with a brushed copper finish on the outside and lacquered orange and white on the inside. These are fixed to each other by three metal rods and spaced out for a light effect.

The lamp is described as being in 'good condition' and 'in full working order', although there a couple of marks – see the full description and images for those. Cheap enough though, just 99 pence right now.
