Trace Suspension Light

Tracelight 
Although designed in 2008, the Trace Suspension Light by Andrea Garuti, could be easily be mistaken for a design from the last century.

Where is differs from many true vintage designs and their imitators, is that rather than being made from plastic, this is made from a combination of white ceramic and white lacquered metal.

It costs just over £1,200 from Modenza.

Floor lamp

Always fancied yourself as a bit of a star from the golden age of cinema? While that may not be a very realistic daydream, you can at least capture some of the glamour from that era with this Hollywood floor lamp from Marks and Spencer

The lamp mimics the look of an old-fashioned spotlight with its large metal round shade and tripod legs. Top that off with the chrome finish and surely – at least in lighting terms – you will be ready for your close-up.

1970s-style Mason table lamp from BHS

Table lamp
Unlikely as it seems, BHS seems to be the place to head if you want to buy retro style lighting on the high street, with this Mason table lamp being a perfect example.

The lamp could have come straight out of the seventies with its mushroom shape. The space age feel is then enhanced by its colour – it's available in orange and white. Made from glass and standing at 25cm high, it's a easy way to add a retro touch to a room.

And it's made even easier by the price. The lamp costs just £30.
