The Pukeberg Glass Factory in Sweden was founded way back in the 1970s, but it’s the designs from the 1960s that interest us the most, such as this Pukeberg Table Lamp.
This design dates back to 1960 and is made from original tins from the Pukeberg Glass Factory. The lamp is made from matt opal glass and stands at 30cm tall.
It costs just over £213 plus shipping costs from the Scandinavian Design Center.

A 1940s design reissued for the twenty-first century, the grasshopper lamp by Greta Grossman looks just as good today.
The floor lamp was first produced in 1947 and is instantly recognisable for its tubular tripod stand. It's been re-issued by Danish company Gubi who are producing it in five different colours – including three variants on grey, as well as jet black and a shade they're calling vintage red.
The lamp costs £565.

We've featured quite a few space age lighting designs this week. For lighting that looks to another era and another style, take a look at this Zeta lamp by Pied a Terre.
It's a unusual table lamp that apparently draws inspiration from the Art Deco era and it's certainly a glamorous object, full of angles and reflective surfaces that are typical of that style. However, I can't help feeling that their take on Deco has been filtered through '70s design too. The mixture of chrome and smoked acrylic rods used in the lamp reminds me of another glamorous style – seventies disco.
Whatever your take on the lamp, it costs £120.

The Rotaliana BPL Light by Camilla Diedrich was designed in 2005, but, like many white pendant lights, it has a space-age 1960s look to it.
The globe has been hand woven from white polyester, which has been knotted wooden casts and put in a steam oven, to create the little bubble effect. It is available in two sizes, 39cm in diameter (£606) or 65cm (£1024).

We've featured a couple lights in this style recently: now this antique brass desk spotlight offers the same look with a twist.
The twist is revealed in the name. While this looks like a free standing floor model, in fact it measures just 45cm high making it more suitable to a table than making a grand lighting statement. The scale aside, it's got that vintage look, with the requisite tripod legs, and offers an interesting look for your desk.
The price is £220.
