It might look like a DIY project, but the Santa & Cole Cometa hanging lamp is a piece of high-end 70s design.

It actually dates back to 1975 – Charles Dillon did originally make it as a home project for his wife Jane, the light being refined for commercial use. For your money, you get a white kite-like cloth shade that hangs from a ceiling, with a hidden aluminium cone operating as a reflector and a red cable holding the on/off switch.

Just tell your visitors it’s an art installation, they’re sure to be impressed. Yours for £293.

We thought we’d seen the end of the Keep Calm and Carry On craze, but still new products come – and this Keep Calm and Carry On handmade rug is probably the classiest of the lot.

It keeps that same classic design, offering it as a handmade rug from 100% New Zealand tufted wool & 100% cotton backing, produced in Uttar Pradesh, India.

Both are sized at 183cm x 122cm, with a choice of red or navy blue, selling for £445.

Everyone needs a chair to kick back into – and this Miss Behaving armchair from Sofa Workshop looks as comfortable as anything out there.

Very much in a 50s/mid-century style, the tight-covered armchair offers a choice of colour for those angled legs, as well as a choice of covering from over 2,200 fabrics (the one above is Nina Campbell Amazonas).

Prices do vary depending on finish, with the one pictured here officially selling for £930, although there is a 30 per cent discount available right now.
