If you’re after a 1930s vibe in your living room, you might want to check out the Odeon range of armchairs and sofas.
All have those 30s-style curves and low back and come in a wide choice of coloured Italian leather options, as well as a range of sizes – armchair, two-seater sofa and three-seater sofa.
Prices obviously vary too – starting at £650.

We have previously featured the iRiver Mickey Mouse M Player on the site, but usually with the line ‘…available in Japan now’. Well, that’s no longer the case, with the super-cute MP3 player now available in the UK and for less cash than we expected.
This is an officially licensed Disney product, using the head of Mickey Mouse to store 1GB of your music, as well as offering a rechargeable battery (for up to nine hours playback per charge), earphones, a keyring to attach to your bag and an interesting way of controlling the volume and track order – just twist Mickey’s ears.
Three colours to choose from initially – white, black and pink – all selling for £29.99.

Not just a cool piece of industrial retro design, the Bumling pendant light also has a name guaranteed to raise a laugh.
It’s the work of Ateljé Lyktan, dating back to 1968, but now back on the market. Take your pick from the minimalist aluminium shade or soften things up with a white or red varnished version. No matter which you go for, it’s unlikely to date for many years – if ever.
Yours for around £265.82.

People Will Always Need Plates have joined forces with Clothkits for their latest product, Trellick Tower Skirts.
Moving away from their original product line of plates and crockery, they have moved into new territory of fashion, but still using their signature design of the Brutalist architecture landmark.
The skirt is available either as a sew-it-yourself kit or ready made item. The kit provides the material to make the skirt in any size between 8 and 20. For those less able with a sewing machine, the skirt can be made to order, but this will take an extra 14 days.
I’m pretty sure that you will be familiar with the Barcelona Chair by Mies Van Der Rohe, but what about the Barcelona Day Bed?
It has the same understated style as the more famous chair, but a decadent day bed is perhaps more interesting. It is made from stainless steel with full grain Italian leather upholstery.
It is available to buy from Iconic Interiors, priced £820, in a choice of black, brown, tan, cream or white, although the black is the classic option.
We love the Lumi dolls – the hard part is actually finding them!
The dolls are all limited editions, handmade and standing around 45cm high, each one made of 100 per cent cotton with a polyester filling and with detailing (including individual fashions) made from linen, wool and vintage fabric.
Definitely one for the collectors, I would guess a few are floating around eBay as very few seem to be available to buy online right now, although Le Train Fantome still has stock of Lumi #44. But be quick, there’s only two of these – priced at £51 each. Check out the sold designs on the same site while you’re there, if we find more for sale, we’ll let you know.
