eBay watch: 1970s Raphael Raffel space age Plexi Ball Chair
This is actually one of two being sold by the seller, one of two Raphael Raffel space age Plexi Ball Chairs that is.
It's a fantastic 1970s space age design out of France, made of smoked plexi glass for the outer, with synthetic brown leather for the inner seating, finished off with that tulip-style base.
Condition is down as 'good', as well as being in 'original and unrestored' condition, so a few scratches and some wear to the upholstery. See the close-up images for the lowdown. No doubt this is a rare design, with a price to reflect that – £604.25 or you can make an offer.

eBay watch: 1970s Welltron Model 2002 space age ball radio
Yesterday, I was discussing with regular RTG correspondent Andrew the difficulty these days of finding good space age design at a decent (aka cheap) price. A point summed up well by this Welltron Model 2002 space age ball radio.
It's a stunning piece of space age design, playing AM/FM radio in stereo sound from that ball-shaped unit, throwing in some eye-catching sliders and chrome-clad controls. it even has the original magnetic stand included.
Condition is described as 'unrestored' and 'very good above', with only marginal wear from age and of course, it works. It's the kind of thing that would have turned up in junk shops some years back and would have cost a few quid even then. But certainly nothing like the £399 being asked here. Although you can make an offer. See the listing for lots more photos.

Frandsen 1960s Ball pendant light
Sometimes simple is often the most stylish – as is the case with the Frandsen 1960s Ball pendant light.
Designed in Denmark back in 1969 and remaining pretty much timeless ever since the Frandsen Ball is pretty much what it says – a ball-shaped metal pendant with 2m of transparent cord for a 'floating' effect.
You can choose from a range of colours including limited editions and a chrome finish, all of which retail for around the same price – £60. Not bad for a design classic.
