Dwell Pod Pendant Light

Podpendant
The Pod Pendant Light has been inspired by pod chairs from the 1960s, such as Eero Aarnio’s Ball Chair.

The shade is a glass ball, which has a slice cut away to reveal the bulb and at such as angle as to reflect the light down from the ceiling. It is also available in black, although to achieve the full space-age effect, the only real option is the white version.

It costs £129 from Dwell.

Dwell Mushroom table lamp

Mushroom lamp

It was only earlier this year that we showed you BHS' take on 70s lighting style with their Mason lamp, now Dwell are also offering a budget version of the look with their mushroom table lamp

It's made from white glass and, as the name might suggest, is in the shape of a mushroom. It's not dissimilar in looks to the Artemide Onfale lamp, or many other Space Age 70s designs. This design definitely plays up the cute factor though, as it's only 21cm high.

The best news is that the lamp is currently on sale, reduced to just under half price at £11.95.

60s-style Neptune pendant at BHS

BHS
The latest lighting collection from BHS has obvious retro influences. We've already shown you the 70s-esque Mason mushroom lamp, while – as perhaps could be guessed from its name – this Neptune pendant looks to 60s Space Age style. 

The steel pendant is a variation on the classic sputnik look, with eight satellite arms and lights coming off the central ball. 

As you'd expect from the store, it's reasonably priced too. The pendant costs £100.

Vintage Ferrowatt Light Bulbs

Vintage-ferro-watt-old-style-light-bulbs-60w-4939-p 
Recently added to Rockett St George’s stock is the Vintage Ferrowatt Light Bulb, an exact replica of the bulb originally invented by Thomas Edison.

These light bulbs have been created using the original moulds from the early 1900s with all details kept the same including their looped filaments and hand-exhaused tips. The bulb is 60watts, has a 2,500 hour life span and is available with either a wide screw in fitting or bayonet fitting.  You could hang the bulb on its own without a shade, but even with such a beautiful bulb, it might look a bit cheap, so what you really need is a transparent shade – which coincidentally Rockett St George also currently sell.

The light bulb costs £14.99 from the Rockett St George.
