eBay watch: 1970s Crayonne Moon table lamp for Habitat

Crayonne

We have featured one of these in the past, but if you missed out on that 1970s Crayonne Moon table lamp for Habitat, there's another one there now with a low starting price.

As we mentioned before, Crayonne was a Habitat brand in the 1970s, with this lamp being sold in the early to mid-70s in the design store. I stands just over 21cm tall, with the lamp a mix of yellow plastic and chrome.

According to seller, the yellow plastic is 'crazed', but is listed as a design fault rather than more recent damage. It's also been checked and a new plug added. Right now, it's at £4.99.

eBay watch: 1970s Crayonne for Habitat space age ice bucket

Cray

Here's tip for you, add the word 'Crayonne' to your list of favoured eBay searches. Why? Well, in Habitat's formative years, Crayonne designs were sold in the stores, offering an affordable twist on period space age design. We featured one example last week and this Crayonne for Habitat space age ice bucket is another.

Examples of this design are currently being offered for £20+ on 'buy it now' deals, but this one is much more affordable at the price as I write. For your money, you get a simple and stylish ice bucket, complete with lid, liner and original 'Crayonne made in England' sticker on base plus embossed logo.

£7.99 right now, but keep an eye on the brand for other items in a similar style.

eBay watch: 1970s Crayonne Moon space age table lamp

Crayonne

I'll be honest, I don't know much about the design, but I like what I see in this Crayonne Moon table lamp.

Crayonne is the maker and if the cryptic listing reads correctly, it was sold in Habitat in the mid-1970s. Turned off and it's a cool piece of period design, turn it on and you get a rather nice glow.

It's made of white plastic with a chrome strip to the side and is described as being in 'vintage working condition'. Still some time to go, it's currently up for £1.
