50s Retro two-door sideboard at Dooley’s Furniture

Dooleys

50s Retro is the name  of the piece, with this oak sideboard certainly living up to the name.

By that, we mean the look is certainly 1950s midcentury, although the design is a new one. For your money you get that oak construction witty a satin lacquer finish, four low angled legs and two doors to the front.

The entire thing is 120cm wide (about 4ft) and 70cm tall, selling right now for £286.

Vitra’s George Nelson Natural Sunburst Clock now available in oak

Sunburst

It's a midcentury classic – and now the George Nelson Natural Sunburst Clock has been reissued by Vitra in oak.

It's a shape that screams the midcentury era, this particular example being produced as far back as 1949, but more commonly associated with the 1950s. This reissue is true to the original, with those shooting arms and white contrast face. Only this time, those arms are in oak to keep things lighter.

Sized around 470mm, you can pick one up for £208.
