Having kids doesn’t mean losing your edge in style – it’s reason to pick up even more cool design, like this Artek 616 baby chair.
The work of Ben af Schulten back in 1966, it’s still a stylish and practical item, constructed of natural lacquered birch, with a back support in a choice natural, red, white or blue birch veneer. And when your child outgrows it, sell it on – because timeless design like this always has a market.
Yours from £442.

We featured this some time back, but the above is no ordinary George Nelson Ball Clock.
This is actually a special edition Ball Clock, designed to celebrate the centenary of George Nelson’s birth. What’s the difference? Well, this particular take on the 1948 classic features black wooden balls and a more authentic brass casing, but still remains faithful to the original design.
Certain to be more collectable than the average reissue, it also commands a higher price – £216 compared to £169. You can order now from the ever-reliable Utility Design.
There’s little more classic in 1960s coat styles than the pea coat, and there’s been a slew of handsome and affordable versions on the high street this Winter. Topman‘s selection’s include a variety of cuts, colours and materials, one of the best being this Navy version by collaborating designers Self.
Made from a wool blend, the military buttons and sleek cut make this a great piece of luxurious style from the high street. The high collar and three sets of double breasted buttons finish off a great 60s look jacket that’s timeless.
Get it from Topman now for £110.
If you know any footballers with a love of art deco design, you might want to point them in the direction of White Gables in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire.
Why? Well from the outside, it looks like a stylish art deco home say in three quarters of an acre of land. But look up close and you’ll see an over-stylised interior and a seriously high price, both of which will appeal to your average Premier League player – and leave the rest of us running a mile.
Everyone is trying to sell you a reusable eco-frendly bag right now, but we think this Schuh retro-styled shopper is up there with the best of them.
It’s an internet exclusive and limited to just 5,000, with the fabric bag featuring a pair of old school Adidas trainers as well as the company logo. And it’s fairly large too – 37 x 41 x 13cm.
But best of all, it’s cheap – you can pick one up for £1.99 and delivery is free.
Think you would have to sell a kidney to buy some artwork by Sir Peter Blake? That’s not actually the case – you can pick up this Scrap Book Sailor limited edition print for just over £100.
It’s a limited edition piece, part of an ongoing series of ‘Found Art’ using obscure vintage imagery. And there’s not many of them either – this limited run is just 10, all printed on 100% cotton Somerset enhanced paper and sized at 50 x 70cm.
Yours for £120…if you’re quick.
Update: This has now sold out.
