The Splay oak chair is another 1950s-style design, courtesy of Heal's new Scandinavian design for living range.
This isn't a design they've plucked from their archive but one that's simply been inspired by the period. Made from oak, with a stylish curved back and topped off with a green wool seat, the chair has the good looks to see it through many more decades to come.
The chair costs £250.

Retro To Go favourites Belle and Boo continue to expand their product range with ever more little characters and scenes appearing on an increasing range of products, the latest of which is this Pirate Party Melamine Set.
This design is more boy-friendly then some of their previous offerings, as little pirates climb trees and build dens and treehouses out of sight of interfering adults. The illustration ticks all the right boxes too; cute without being sentimental and stylish whilst still capturing the fun of being a kid.
The set consists of cup, bowl, plate and cutlery and costs £18 from the Belle & Boo site here.
We all might have our fantasies of finding that rare 60s designer gem in the back rails of a village charity shop, but rarely does such luck come through. For truly well preserved rareities, it's vintage resellers that we have to call upon. William Vintage, now available at Browns, bring some of the more decadent and unusual pieces, with prices that reflect their one off status.
Featuring pieces from the highest end designers like Dior and Pierre Cardin, the stock features original sixties pieces in the sort of truly impeccable condition that can command the often four-figure price tags. Not for the casual vintage lover, these are more pieces of fashion history than Friday night fodder.
While we're all still trying to make the most of the occasional glimpses of Summer time, fashion's mainstream is wasting no time in looking forward. As ever, the beginnings of the new season are available early, with Autumnal pieces like this Peggy Faux Fur Collar Coat from Oasis offering a glimpse great of things to come.
The pale camel wool helps to create a heritage feel to the main piece, with double breasted fastening and militaristic shoulders lending a cool mid-sixties feel. The retro look is given some extra oomph by the faux fur collar, allowing for that trashy glam of stars like Edie Sedgwick to come through.
It's available from Oasis for £100.
Out of the (early) 1980s and back on the shelves, that's the Adidas Colorado Windbreaker.
It's out once more in a new colour, blue for the coming autumnal weather (or summer showers for that matter), with detailing including a contrast front zip, a mesh-lined hood, two side pockets with mesh lining, 3-Stripes down the arms, and a printed Trefoil on the left chest.
Grab it directly from Adidas, £50 gets you one.
Love this design, although the 1970s chrome and black desk lamp doesn't come with a maker's name sadly.
According to the seller, the lamp was probably made in Italy, that mix of black and chrome, with a modernist feel and directional light for reading or working.
That same seller says the lamp is in 'very, very good above-average condition' with 'only marginal signs of age'. Good price right now too, just £1.
