Designed back in 1923 and now reissued by Yamagiwa, the Taliesin 1 table light by Frank Lloyd Wright is back to add a distinctive modernist touch to your home.
Indeed, it did just that for Frank Lloyd Wright's home, the architect/designer creating this for his own Taliesin home, using several around the house. Designed to look like a small building, the lamp is available in cherry wood or ash wood for the frame supporting that roof-like shade.
Available online, you can pick one up for £715.
Pre-war retro looks are much less common on the high street, so it can often take a little bit more digging for lovers of twenties and thirties fashion to find affordable items. These Alexa Headbands from vintage-style accessories brand Rock 'N Rose are a rare gem, at a snip too.
The UK based designers have a knack for simple and stylish vintage pieces, and this piece is no different. The use of sequins within a sharp art deco fan design gives some very twenties sparkle to a simple item. The hairband makes it an easy piece to wear for any occasion to boot.
Get them online from Rock 'N Rose for £22 each.
More views of London, this time through archival footage courtesy of the London on Film DVDs. The collection of eight DVDs is the result of a collaboration between Independent Film Studios and ITN Source New Classics – ITN's historical archive.
Each DVD is about an hour long and uses the historical news footage to focus on a different aspect of the city's history, covering quite a diverse range of topics: there's two on the history of the East End starting from 1900 and going up to the 70s, two on London in the 50s, while the others look at the Krays, Lost Docks, Railways and Haunted London. There are plans to release 100 DVDs in the London on Film series over the next five years so, if nothing appeals to you there, there's bound to be something to capture your interest eventually.
The DVDs cost £9.99 each.
Buy them from Archive Film shop
