In the market for a quirky bit of seating? The reissued Betoia Bird high-back chair from Knoll could fit the bill.

It’s part of Harry Bertoia’s artistic 1952 seating collection (we featured the armchair some time back) – all of which are sculpted from bent metal rods, then upholstered in fabrics designed to sit well with the period look. And if you really want to kick back, you can even pick up a matching ottoman too.

Obviously design classics don’t come cheap and this one is no exception. Prices start at £1,798 for the chair, with the ottoman starting at £576.

A nice twist on an old idea – the Retro Pendulum Wall Clock.

Even if this was just a face, the domed glass face, brushed aluminium and retro-styled hands and numbers would do enough to catch the eye. But add to the design that swinging pendulum and you really have something a little out of the ordinary.

Sized at 19cm (diameter) and available in various colours, it’s well priced at just £12.

Textile designer Sam Hughes has been using her vintage fabric collection to create lampshades and lighting for a couple of years now, producing items like these 70s-style pendant light shades.

Take your pick from the two sizes and several designs above – or if you want something a little more complete, you can buy wood and chrome lamps using the shades.

Prices obviously vary depending on your choice, starting at £22 for the shades through to between £37 and £39 for the completed lamps.

We covered Mibo’s tile tattoos some time back – and if you liked those, I’m guessing you’ll also like Mibo’s retro-styled wallpaper.

All have names that evoke country cottages – but all are actually named after service stations, including the Clacket Lane paper pictured here. A nice mix of brown and red, covered with birds and flowers – a modern take on a 50s-style wallcovering.

A roll is sized at 52cm (width) and 10m (length), priced at £40.

We love a cup of tea or three during the day, which probably makes us a target market for the Jan Constantine Love tea cosy.

Obviously no use to you unless you have a tea pot. But if you do, you can pick up this rather stylish handmade design right now from the V&A, featuring the pop art-style ‘Love’ motif embroidered in 100 per cent wool.

It’s sized at 26 x 20 inches and retails for £65.
