A stylish design from the 1970s is back on the market – the B-Line Buk magazine rack by Rodolfo Bonetto.
Bonetto designed it back in 1972, with one eye on a double sale. You see, this rotomoulded polyethylene rack is a u-shape, designed to interlink with another unit, either in the same colour or one of the other four colours in the range.
But if you just want the one, it's available for £85 online.

If you want this, you'll have to be quick, as the Cosmos Shade at Dutch By Design is reduced, because it's about to be discontinued.
It's another take on the classic 1960s Sputnik light fitting, with this version of the space-inspired light fitting offering up a whopping 24 bulbs on those chrome arms, which in turn are fitted to a central 'ball'.
The whole thing is around 65cm high and 31.3cm wide, usually selling for £145. But as it's the last couple, £85 is the price if you're quick.
Giveaways on social networks is nothing new, but four authentic Eero Aarnio Ball Chairs as a giveaway really is something worth mentioning.

The Ball Chair is a 60s classic. Designed by Eero Aarnio in 1963, the circular seat has become an icon of the era, featured in countless movies, artworks, design magazines and of course, homes. It sells at the retailer for a whopping 6,450 Euros, should you miss out.

Some of you might recall the Colombo home phones by ChauhanStudio in 2008. The Joe Colombo-inspired handsets were first featured on our Switched On Set site and went down a storm, not least over here too. Well, the same designers are back with new phones, this time playing with the mobile and producing the INQ Cloud Touch and INQ Cloud Q. Best of all? They'll be pretty cheap to buy.
Like the Colombo, the handsets are once again inspired by 1970s space age design, you can imagine either sat next to some period Artemide lighting and not looking out of place (if they had mobiles phone then, obviously). But these are very modern handsets with deep Facebook integration as soon as you switch on, Spotify integrated into the handsets (via a dedicated key) and the Android operating system, so you can access all the apps on the Google platform.
A design that doesn't come up very often, so there's sure to be some interest in this Angelo Mangiarotti Saffo table lamp.
A great example of space age design for Artemide, it was originally produced in 1966, with this example coming with the manufacturer's decal and signed with a moulded mark to underside of base. It even comes with the original box. Nice.
For your money, you get a lamp with a hand-blown, smoked Murano glass diffuser and a chrome-plated base, not to mention plenty of style. It's sold out of France, so if you're not there, you'll need to sort out the electrics. Easy enough though. Current bidding price is £68.44.
The latest lighting collection from BHS has obvious retro influences. We've already shown you the 70s-esque Mason mushroom lamp, while – as perhaps could be guessed from its name – this Neptune pendant looks to 60s Space Age style.
The steel pendant is a variation on the classic sputnik look, with eight satellite arms and lights coming off the central ball.
As you'd expect from the store, it's reasonably priced too. The pendant costs £100.
