I probably don’t need to tell you that the Bloom Sandwich light is more than likely based on the Mary Quant Daisy design.
Which is no bad thing if you want to add a quirky sixties-style twist to a room. There are three colours to choose from (red, yellow and white), all made natural (and eco-friendly) wool felt and with a 180mm diameter.
You can pick one up for £35.

This might look like a piece of ceramic from the 1970s, but it’s actually a modern and eco-friendly Sugar Box by Give Me Some Sugar.
Ok, you might not need a container for your sugar, but it’s certain to have uses too. Available in orange, green or red, the Sugar Box is handcrafted by Vietnamese villagers who make this lacquerware in their spare time for an additional income. Which means you’re helping people in poverty sustain themselves too.
Sized at 4 x 4 x 4.25 inches, it retails for $17.95, which is around £9.
Fancy a mid-century art collection in your pocket? That’s what you get with the MoMA Pop Art Postcard Box.
This 4 x 6-inch box (with Robert Indiana design) contains 50 different images on postcards from the Museum’s collection, including the likes of Roy Lichtenstein, Wayne Thiebaud, Edward Ruscha and Andy Warhol. And when you get bored of looking at them, just stick on a stamp and post them out.
The box retails for $20.95, which is around £10.
Paul Smith is back with another novelty bag – the time the 80s-style Ghetto Blaster bag.
This large weekend bag has chocolate leather trims, an adjustable shoulder strap, one large area and two smaller internal pockets, along with a concealed external pocket. But the selling point is that design, a detailed take on the now obsolete ghetto blaster.
It’s sized at 28 x 40 x 12cm and retails for £190.

Not the ideal everyday shoe, but if you’re after a 60s vibe, this Franco Sarto Nail Pump could be the thing.
It has a patent leather upper, a wide leather strap with button details, an elasticated slingback strap and a man-made sole.
Available online from Macy’s, a pair will set you back $85, which is around £43.

Ok, this isn’t an official update on the Arne Jacobsen Egg Chair, but the Lobster Chair certainly has its roots with that late 50s classic.
Lobster is probably down to its claw-like shape, but for me, the design isn’t the most eye-catching aspect – that’s the bent wood construction and its walnut veneer, matched with a quality leather, Pantera foam for comfort and the chrome-plated steel base. Other finishes are available, but none are quite as classy.
We know it is designed by Lund & Paarmann for Verikon Furniture, but as yet, we don’t have a fixed price. More when we know it.
