Does this sofa look familiar? Well, you might have noticed something very similar on this site previously – the classic Florence Knoll sofa from the company’s 1954 Lounge Collection. Go Modern do a cheaper copy, but Ikea goes even cheaper than that with its own version, going under the name of the Karlstad sofa.
Not to be confused with the Karlstad swivel armchair, the Karlstad leather two-seater sofa is ‘designed’ by Tord Björklund and features adjustable armrests, touch-and-close fastening to keep the cushions in place and a soft and hard-wearing leather which promises to ‘age gracefully’.
Available now, it retails for £499.

Remember Love Hearts? It was/is a classic kids sweet that offered up a lovey dovey message that was even more sickly sweet than the sweet itself. You can still get them – and you can also get Love Hearts jewellery based on the sweet’s design.
Pictured to your right is just one example, a classic silver pendant with 18-inch chain and the message ‘I Love You’. Alternatively, you can get a silver and enamel pendant, smaller-sized pendants, cufflinks or a simple ‘token’.
Prices start at £24.99 and if you’re quick, you can order one for Valentine’s Day – cut off point for ordering is 12 noon on Wednesday 13th February.

The first of the new Fiat 500s are now on the streets of the UK – and soon they’ll be everywhere. But if you want to stay ahead of the crowd and have money to burn, you could get the Fiat 500 Pepita, modified by Studio M in Italy.
And when we say modified, we mean in terms of finish rather than engineering. It’s got a covering of 24 carat gold paint, Swarovski crystals embedded into the gear stick, hand brake and pedals, not to mention cashmere floor mats, gold-painted alloy wheels and a choice of crocodile, snake, shark, skate or lizard to cover the seats.
Obviously that all bumps the price up a bit – 60,000 Euros to be precise.
American architect and designer Warren Platner felt there was room in 1960s modernism for “the kind of decorative, graceful design that appeared in a period style like Louis XV” and to explore this idea, he experimented with the possibilities of steel wire.
These creations are still being produced by Knoll and the Warren Platner Coffee and Side Table are the most affordable and easily usable pieces in this collection. In both pieces, vertical steel wire rods are welded to circular horizontal and edge-framing rods and topped with thick tempered glass.
Available to buy from Blend Design, the side table costs £315 and the coffee table £570. If you really love the look and want to splash out, there is also a dining table for £1,320, which is a bigger version of the coffee table.
Perhaps not the most stylish magazine rack you can buy, but the Bum Magazine Rack is probably one of the more eco-friendly.
Your eyes do not deceive you – that is an old pair of jeans holding the newspapers and magazines. They have been recycled and modified, then fixed to the wire frame with the belt loops of the jeans.
Obviously each one will be different, so if you happen to want a require a specific label of jeans, you might want to drop the company a line. Whatever pair you choose, the rack retails for £185.
