We cover a lot of vintage Adidas and Puma here, but how about something slightly more obscure, but equally stylish from Europe? Like the Hummel Stadil trainers perhaps?
An early 80s indoor court shoe, it's back on the market in all its distinctive 80s glory in either white and grey or with some red and white detailing, both with leather and nubuck uppers and a vulcanised sole unit.
Available now as a pre-order at Hanon, you can pick up a pair for £54.95.
A stunning piece of modernist design is back to wow us in 2010 – the Fontana Arte 0024 hanging lamp by Gio Ponti.
Still looking ahead of its time, this 1931 design has a chrome-plated brass frame, transparent, tempered glass disks and a central diffuser in sandblasted glass. A pair of bulbs within creating that glowing light.
It's sized at 53 x 53cm and sells for £1,647. Not cheap, but relatively cheap compared to the larger (141.5 x 138.5cm) 0024XXL version – that retails for £22,090.
Long time readers might recall the Net and Ball wallpaper by Absolute Zero Degrees. Well, that same 1950s design is now available for your floor, specifically the Net and Ball Rug at the Southbank Centre.
No surprise really – the design was originally produced for the carpet at the Royal Festival Hall back in 1951, the work of original architects Peter Moro and Leslie Martin, designed as the visual representation of sound. But with a ball.
The rug is part of a range of items using the classic look, including tote bags, mugs, bowls, vases and of course, that wallpaper. The rug itself is 60 x 90cm, exclusive to the Southbank Centre and sells online for £79.
Not just your average movie posters, Claudia Varosio has updated some classics in her own distinctive style, selling the updated images via her Etsy online store.
Yes, these are reworked promo posters, stripping out the nonsense and featuring the key characters or essence of the movie. Not just a few either, there are around 40 to choose from, including the two we have picked out here, 2001 – A Space Odyssey and The Good, The Bad And The Ugly.
All are printed on premium archival lustre paper and come in pretty cheap – shipped out of the UK, they sell for just $16.90 (around £10) each.
A distinctive, but very practical chair from the 1970s – the Cassina Cab chair by Mario Bellini.
It's as much about the concept as the finished product – in 1977, Bellini produced the chair using a flexible steel frame, covering it with a 'skin' of saddle leather, which is attached to the leather using four zips.
You can pick up the Cab with or without arms and in a choice of leathers, prices starting at £603.
They might look fairly unassuming at first glance, but the VitaminBerlin apartments which you'll find in the city of Berlin, are quite cool retro-themed places to hang out.
Using classic apartment stock in key locations in the city, VitaminBerlin mixes the home comforts of the modern era with stylish 20th century design to create a hip place for up to two people to hang out in the city. And just to fuse both together, each apartment has a vintage Danish Bang & Olufsen stereo with an adapter for your iPod.
