eBay watch: 1970s Bang & Olufsen Beolit 707 radio

Bang

No matter what era you go for, you'll always get a slightly futuristic feel from any Bang & Olufsen design throughout the years, including this Bang & Olufsen Beolit 707 radio.

This particular transistor radio was made in Denmark between 1976 – 1981, but you would never guess that. Ok, it's not got a digital display like a modern radio, but everything else, right down to those blue side panels, could be from the modern era.

But what you do get is that Bang & Olufsen quality, described as being in 'fully working condition' and 'with fantastic sound for a portable radio'. It's even been cleaned and serviced. All you need are the batteries and you're. Plus the cost of buying it – right now that's £15.96.

eBay watch: 1950s Danish teak side tables

Danish

Two very stylish items at a very cheap price – this pair of 1950s Danish teak side tables.

The title and picture just about sum things up, stylish Scandinavian midcentury design from the early 50s, complete with a decent-sized surface area, open natural cane shelf and a pull-out drawn, not to mention those pincer-like legs.

A couple of wear marks, but nothing to worry too much about, especially at the current price of $24.50 (£15.47) for the pair, plus shipping from Los Angeles, California.

Frandsen 1960s Ball pendant light

Frandsen

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.

Danish Modern Love Seat at Urban Outfitters

Modern Love

While Urban Outfitters in the UK tends towards kitsch and fun homewares, the American store always seems to stock some more interesting furniture numbers, such as this so-called Danish Modern Love Seat

With a clear nod towards mid-century Scandinavian designs, it's a simple design with an exposed ash frame and a choice of either the yellow pictured or a green for your cushions. And it's certainly not going to go out of fashion as quickly as some of the novelty items on sale in the UK store. 

It's available exclusively online and, more annoyingly, only to customers in the USA. If those conditions apply to you, it will cost you $398.
