The Louis Poulsen PH lamp is a design classic, so it's no surprise seeing high street retailers taking influence from it, as John Lewis has done with the Plats Rise and Fall ceiling light.

Just far enough away from the original to make it unique, John Lewis throws in an industrial-style fitting, but keeps the multiple reflective shades for both the look and giving your room an interesting spread of light.

And as it's on the high street, we're not looking at a £400+ price tag either. This aluminium and chrome fitting is yours for just £58.50 – which leaves you with plenty of cash for a table lamp to match.

We're big fans of Robin Day's stylish and functional designs, having previously featured the likes of the Poly armchair and the Polo chair. And the Q Stak chair is another design worthy of your attention.

Designed in 1952, it's  versatile little number, perfect for a dining chair or occasional chair. And when you no longer need these mid-century gems, just stack them up neatly in a corner (hence the name).

The chair was originally made to a brief, with the requirement that the Q Stack be made from as few components as possible (post-war shortages and all that). That minimalism keeps it contemporary today, with a few additions from maker Loft for the modern era, including concealed fixings and a choice of white, beech or walnut veneer finish. Still the same support for your back though.

If you want one, the Q Stak retails for £129.

Simple, but eye-catching – the Oyster lounge chair by Pierre Paulin is still a stylish seat well over 50 years since it first hit the market.

Now reissued by Artifort, this early Paulin design (from 1954) has a chromed metal base, a wooden seating shell and brightly-coloured upholstery that seems to 'float' on the frame.

Great for kicking back into after a hard day at work, the Oyster is available from £1,272, the foot stool will set you back around £500 more.
