Dwell Mushroom table lamp

Posted on | Leave a comment

Mushroom lamp

It was only earlier this year that we showed you BHS' take on 70s lighting style with their Mason lamp, now Dwell are also offering a budget version of the look with their mushroom table lamp. 

It's made from white glass and, as the name might suggest, is in the shape of a mushroom. It's not dissimilar in looks to the Artemide Onfale lamp, or many other Space Age 70s designs. This design definitely plays up the cute factor though, as it's only 21cm high.

The best news is that the lamp is currently on sale, reduced to just under half price at £11.95.

eBay watch: Artifort 1960s Mushroom Chair and Pouf by Pierre Paulin

Mushroom

Buying one of these would cost you £1,656 new, not to mention the best part of £500 for the matching stool. Which is why this Artifort Mushroom Chair and Pouf by Pierre Paulin is such a bargain.

It was designed in 1960 by Paulin, an early example of space age design and even today, it looks as modern as anything else on the market.

This example is in dark blue and is described as being in 'very good condition' – the foam is firm with no sagging and the upholstery is clean with no snags. £750 is the 'buy it now price, which is cheap enough. But you can also make an offer.

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: 1970s Guzzini-style Mushroom table lamp

It's probably high street rather than high end, but the look and condition of this Guzzini-style Mushroom table lamp make it worthy of our attention.

For your money, you get a look that screams the 1970s, with that vibrant orange plastic shade and chrome plated base, both described as being in 'good' condition and looking it in the photos. There are also two small bayonet fittings inside for the bulbs.

£29.99 is the current price on eBay.
