The new Irisa range from Barker and Stonehouse is a contemporary collection inspired by retro style.
The range includes a dining table and chairs, as well as an accompanying sideboard and even a TV table. Made from a mixture of oak and oak veneer, the furniture echoes the looks of mid-century designs with their simple lines and tapered legs.
Prices start at £85 for the dining chair.

Yes, I know we did something similar yesterday and we do try to vary things when possible, but I've just spotted these 1970s extra large Guzzini-style pendant lights online, which are absolutely stunning.
According to the seller, this orange and white light fitting doesn't have a maker's label, but it does have that Guzzini 'look', as well as being a light fitting that screams the late '60s and 1970s. How big? 36cm wide and 30cm high, with 66cm of new wiring offered with it – yes, it's been rewired and is ready to be fitted.
Condition is 'very good / excellent' with 'just a few light marks' down to age. Not the cheapest light fitting at £149.99 on a 'buy it now', but ust try finding something on the high street with similar impact for a cheaper price.
If you're after an industrial style lamp, you're in luck as there are lots on offer at the moment. The latest example to come to our attention is this Factory desk lamp, available from Idyll Home.
The colour on this image is a bit misleading – it's actually white enamel used for the curved shade and base. Couple that up with an an adjustable chrome arm and you've got a lamp that's extra practical, as well as stylish.
This lamp costs £189.

You know the drill now, we love the Herb Lester maps, both the design and the fine array of places they flag up. This Herb Lester vintage-inspired map of Glasgow looks like another winner for the company.
As ever, it's a map of the usual and the unusual – so expect record shops, cafes, pubs, restaurants, and inevitably a fish and chip shop – albeit one with an opera-singing proprietor. There are also glorious parks, beautiful architecture and great food and drink – like an unchanged 1960s pub, the Glasgow Architectural Salvage Yard, an art deco restaurant and oyster bar (Rogano) and to top things off, an excellent record shop (Monorail).
The map is designed and illustrated by Brent Couchman, is A3-sized(297 x 420mm) and litho printed in England on recycled paper. A bargain at just £3. Another shot over the page.
Seeing as it's such a warm day (here at least), we thought you might fancy an ice lolly? Or a at least, a picture of one courtesy of the Have An Ice Day screenprint by Crispin Finn.
It's an eye-catching number, with an old school lolly printed in two colours on the white background, complete with what every ice lolly should still have – a joke on the stick.
It's a two-colour embossed screenprint on 300gsm somerset paper, sized at 56cm x 38cm and in an edition of 50. £37.50 gets you one.
At first glance, you might think this is something from the Guzzini range of the 1970s. But it's actually the Herda table lamp.
Certain to be a European variation from a lesser-known brand, it's still an interesting piece and worth picking up for the right price. For your money, you'll get that period double-layered plastic brown shade (glowing yellow when lit), sat on a chromed metal base, which leaves the cord exposed to the bulb.
It stands 55cm tall and is described as being in 'excellent condition'. Right now, it's on eBay for just 1 pence.
