Martingala chair by Marco Zanuso

Martingala
Dating from 1954, Marco Zanuso's Martingala chair is still looking pretty stylish today.

The chair was originally designed for the X Trienalle and is recognisable for the continuous curve of the arms into the back. That is paired with those splayed metal legs and ball feet, giving it a noticeable 50s feel. Its manufacturer, Arflex, also claim it is the first armchair with removable covers, giving it an extra praticality too.

Prices start at £2,206 and vary depending on your choice of upholstery.

Arflex 1970s Strips sofa set by Cini Boeri

Arflex

We rarely feature items off the Conran Shop site as their website isn't particularly 'blogger-friendly' – but they are one of the few retailers selling this Arflex Strips sofa set by Cini Boeri.

It's a design that really does scream its era, that era being the early 70s – 1972 if you want us to be precise. Cini Boeri worked with Arflex on a modular collection of sofas, ottomans and sofa-beds using polyurethane foam and that were able to fit to any space.

The sofa above is one of these designs, a large corner unit that offers both style and comfort, as well as a bold orange finish – perfect for a high-end 70s-style pad. As you might have guessed, this huge sofa isn't cheap, with an asking price of £9,485. That doesn't include the pouf either, which sells for a further £1,525.
