eBay watch: Hille midcentury sideboard by Robin Day

Hille

If the seller's description is to be believed (and to be honest, we don't know for sure if it's correct and there's little evidence offered outside of the seller's opening statement), this is a Hille midcentury sideboard by Robin Day.

To be fair it does have the look of other similar sideboards we have seen, but as ever with large designer purchases, it's always buyer beware. Saying that, it's a stylish unit, made of teak with black enamelled doors, aluminium handles and three internal adjustable shelves within the 6ft unit.

Described as being in 'good vintage condition' with 'only a few surface marks consistant with age', you can bid for this midcentury piece if you have £500 to spare.

eBay watch: Robin Day space age 4-4000 armchair for Hille in brown and cream

Hille

We have featured one of these previously, but I'm flagging up this Robin Day 4-4000 armchair for Hille because of its unusual colour scheme and the cheap price.

The chair was made by Hille in the 1970s as part of a 'Living Theme' collection, which was pitched at a younger crowd and sold in cool places like Habitat. As you can, it's very much of its era.

Usually they're in cream (we have one in this colour), but the model on eBay is an unusual brown with contrast cord cushions (I think these are likely to be original too). An underrated space age gem and right now available for £99.
