Louis Poulsen-style Oslo pendant from BHS

Posted on | Leave a comment

Oslo

The lighting range at BHS has been providing some great retro inspired numbers recently. This Oslo pendant can be added to that list. 

Its name suggests Scandinavian influences. In this case it seems to reference the designs produced for Louis Poulsen by Poul Henningsen, specifically the PH Snowball pendant light, the design of which dates to 1924. This high street version is made from white gloss steel, using the same kind of curves as the PH light to diffuse the light. 

While prices for Louis Poulsen lamps go into the thousands, this pendant costs only £170.

Cora chair

It's a classic look for a 60s-style interior and it's available on the 2011 highstreet courtesy of the Cora hanging chair from BHS. 

The hanging chair not only offers a great retro look but is the perfect accompaniment to some of their retro style lighting we've been featuring recently. It's not just for indoors too – thanks to its self-supporting steel frame, this chair is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. 

Not so cheap, but still reasonably priced when compared to similar designs, the chair costs £799.

60s-style Neptune pendant at BHS

Posted on | Leave a comment

BHS
The latest lighting collection from BHS has obvious retro influences. We've already shown you the 70s-esque Mason mushroom lamp, while – as perhaps could be guessed from its name – this Neptune pendant looks to 60s Space Age style. 

The steel pendant is a variation on the classic sputnik look, with eight satellite arms and lights coming off the central ball. 

As you'd expect from the store, it's reasonably priced too. The pendant costs £100.

1970s-style Mason table lamp from BHS

Table lamp
Unlikely as it seems, BHS seems to be the place to head if you want to buy retro style lighting on the high street, with this Mason table lamp being a perfect example.

The lamp could have come straight out of the seventies with its mushroom shape. The space age feel is then enhanced by its colour – it's available in orange and white. Made from glass and standing at 25cm high, it's a easy way to add a retro touch to a room.

And it's made even easier by the price. The lamp costs just £30.

Bhs lights

Although not the most obvious hunting ground for retro enthusiasts, bargains from BHS do pop up on this site from time to time, mostly from their lighting range. It's from that department we've founded these glass light fitting, an inexpensive and easy way to add a retro touch to a room. 

On the left is their optic dome, made from rippled glass, perfect for a 70s look. It's available in smoked glass or in lime or teal. The smooth glass dome on the right is available in bright colours only: pick from lime, teal or purple. 

Both styles of light fittings cost the cheap and cheerful price of £20 each.
