1960s-style Cora hanging chair from BHS

Cora chair

It's a classic look for a 60s-style interior and it's available on the 2011 highstreet courtesy of the Cora hanging chair from BHS

The hanging chair not only offers a great retro look but is the perfect accompaniment to some of their retro style lighting we've been featuring recently. It's not just for indoors too – thanks to its self-supporting steel frame, this chair is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. 

Not so cheap, but still reasonably priced when compared to similar designs, the chair costs £799.

Serralunga Barceloneta Chair – classic Barcelona Chair gets an update

Barc1

Yes, at first glance it does indeed look like the classic Barcelona Chair by Mies van der Rohe. But it's actually a new design, the Serralunga Barceloneta Chair.

Think of it as a Barcelona for the modern era, with designer Raffaella Mangiarotti using a mix of polyurethane and aluminium to produce a chair both indoor or outdoor use, slimming down the design so it's abel to stack up too – see over the page for an idea of how that works. He even keeps that 'quilted' leather look for the seating by using a sophisticated 'rotating moulding system' that's apparently no easy thing to do.

Plenty of colours available, all priced around £654.
