Part of the new Autumn collection at Plümo, this Danish teak cabinet will add a touch of retro appeal to your bedside.
The simple shape harks back to classic Scandinavian design. At 45cm high, each cabinet is small back perfectly formed – handmade and with one sliding drawer, topped off with a ball shaped handle.
Sure to retain its good looks over the years, each cabinet costs £209.

Looking for a timeless classic for your living room? You can't go far wrong with the Artek 88 nesting tables by Alvar Aalto.
A practical classic, designed by Aalto back in 1935, the tables come in a set of three, made of birch with a birch veneer or white laminate top and with those curved wooden legs, so distinctive of Aalto's designs.
A set will set you back £975.
No matter what era you go for, you'll always get a slightly futuristic feel from any Bang & Olufsen design throughout the years, including this Bang & Olufsen Beolit 707 radio.
This particular transistor radio was made in Denmark between 1976 – 1981, but you would never guess that. Ok, it's not got a digital display like a modern radio, but everything else, right down to those blue side panels, could be from the modern era.
But what you do get is that Bang & Olufsen quality, described as being in 'fully working condition' and 'with fantastic sound for a portable radio'. It's even been cleaned and serviced. All you need are the batteries and you're. Plus the cost of buying it – right now that's £15.96.
It looks like an expensive designer piece, but this Harvey light shade at John Lewis is very much in the 'affordable' bracket.
It obviously takes inspiration from midcentury Scandinavian design, not a million miles from the Louis Poulsen PH50 lamp with three concentric plates and a black painted finish for the metal shade.
Available online, the Harvey shade sells for £50.
The Hello Easy Chair, with its memorable name and distinctive shape, could easily be mistaken for a classic chair design. It was, however, designed in this century, although it has an unmistakable Scandinavian style.
The chairs was designed by Busk and Hertzog and according to one of its designers, its shape is “round, open and happy like a mouth calling out to people, asking them to come closer.” The chair was commissioned by the Danish Broadcast Corporation who wanted a chair especially for Kylie Minogue, which could be another selling point if you like the Australian pop star, but I wouldn’t hold it against the chair if you don’t.
The Hello Easy Chair is available from Heal’s, priced £895 with a choice of dark lilac, violet or anthracite coverings.
While Urban Outfitters in the UK tends towards kitsch and fun homewares, the American store always seems to stock some more interesting furniture numbers, such as this so-called Danish Modern Love Seat.
With a clear nod towards mid-century Scandinavian designs, it's a simple design with an exposed ash frame and a choice of either the yellow pictured or a green for your cushions. And it's certainly not going to go out of fashion as quickly as some of the novelty items on sale in the UK store.
It's available exclusively online and, more annoyingly, only to customers in the USA. If those conditions apply to you, it will cost you $398.
