Think Kaj Franck, and you may well be recalling his famous glassware. However, he's also responsible for these Toto wooden dolls, recently reissued designs that date to 1945.

There's plenty of fun to be had in spotting your favourite designs: look out for Stig Lindberg, John Clappison and Kaj Franck for starters.

Purnukka jar – 1950s storage
Here's a subtle piece of retro style, the Purnukka jar.
Manufactured by Iittala, though they look pretty timeless, these ceramic jars were actually designed by Kaj Franck back in 1953 and remained in production until 1975. They're now back in a tantalising range of colours and with just a slight tweak to the original design: they've been changed so they are better at stacking. Available in either 60mm or 120mm sizing, they're guaranteed to keep looking good for many more decades to come.
The jars are priced at £16 for smaller size and £19 for the larger jar.
