Paul Smith re-works 1960s Arne Jacobsen-designed Stelton Cylinda bar set

Smith_stelton

Essentially this is the same Arne Jacobsen-designed Stelton Cylinda bar set that was first seen back in 1967. But Paul Smith has added his own twist, re-launching it as the company's Statement Bar Set.

It's a limited edition for 2010 to celebrate Stelton's 50th anniversary, containing an ice bucket with tongs, jug with ice lip, six glass coasters, cocktail mixer with spoon, a cocktail shaker and a serving tray, with construction primarily from stainless steel with a titanium surface – that black colour you can see on the image.

It's all finished off with a collection of statements by the British designer himself. Price? Well, it's a lot more than the coffee set we featured on eBay last week – the price is £1,500.

eBay watch: 1960s Stelton Cylinda Line Coffee Set by Arne Jacobsen

Cylinda

A 60s classic and as it stands, this Stelton Cylinda Line Coffee Set is a real giveaway.

Designed by Arne Jacobsen back in 1967 and still in production today, this particular set is described as 'old stock and genuinely unused', although it's worth noting that the tray and spoon are not Stelton, 'but the service was retailed in this way'.

Even so, this is an absolute bargain at its current £5.50 price. Check online for the price of the pieces new, that should show how much of a steal it really is.

Louis Poulsen 1960s Discus 350 ceiling light by Arne Jacobsen

Discus1

Stylish and simple, with a history thrown in, the Louis Poulsen Discus 350 ceiling light by Arne Jacobsen could be a timeless addition to your home.

It was designed back in 1963, specifically for illuminating indoor staircases and exterior walls for a city hall in Denmark, the shade being perfect for diffusing 'soft' light over a large area, while the glass diffuser means an even distribution of light.

Those utilitarian looks haven't aged and are unlikely to anytime soon. So the £295 price might be a worthy investment. Check out a wall light variation over the page too, retailing for the same price.
