Japan is a constant source of strange and wonderful design, with this Trunk Station AD at the more useful end of the market.

Created by Soho Street, it’s furniture you can take with you – even if you go on a cruise. Open it up and you get a desk with about as much storage as anyone will need. And when you do take it with you, it’s packed full of that same storage space, with wheels on the rear to make it easier to move. Or you could just close it up when you don’t need it – that vintage-style travel trunk certainly isn’t the ugliest thing to have around the house.

A choice of colours available, but you’ll probably have to get it shipped over from Japan if you want one, where it retails for 198,000 Yen (£968).

We have seen similar designs before, but that doesn’t stop us appreciating the quirky looks of the Offside Coat Hanger.

Obviously taking inspiration from an old table football machine, Norwegian designer Runa Klock has turned the once static players into coat/garment hangers. There are five players in total, which can tilt and move to accommodate different-sized garments.

The whole unit attaches to the wall via a hidden mounting and is made from stainless steel and recyclable plastic, with a colour choice of red/stainless steel and green/white lacquered steel. Yours for £59.

Another piece of interesting design hidden amongst the beige at Ikea – these Komedi cocktail glasses.

Very much a 60s-style in both style and colour, these orange glasses by Johanna Jelinek are mouth blown, making each one unique to you.

And as they’re Ikea, they are cheap too – just £4.49 for two.

Another contender for your walls if you’re trying to achieve a mid-century vibe – the Jocelyn Warner 50s-style Scribble wallpaper.

It’s an abstract design with a ’50s architectural feel’ and available in a choice of five colours, including the the grey shown above. Alternatively, if you prefer the design on a lamp, you can pick up a shade instead.

The wallpaper retail for £99 per 10m roll.
