Luna bistro outdoor dining set at Sparrow and Finch

Posted on | Leave a comment

Luna bistro

The good weather isn't meant to last this time but get ready for the next spot of sunshine with the Luna bistro outdoor dining set from Sparrow and Finch. 

It's a contemporary design with more than a passing nod to the 1950s. The Fifties influence extends to more than the name alone, with the curved base to the table and the unusual shape of the chairs giving it a distinctive look. In fact the style is one that you might be tempted to bring into your house, as well as putting in the garden. 

The set costs £299.95.

Modernist-style Mondrian table range at Loveyourhomeforless

Posted on | Leave a comment

Mondrian tables

Simple Modernist design always looks stylish and this contemporary reinterpretation of the style, the Mondrian table range at Loveyourhomeforless, is no exception.

Their plain, geometric lines echo the work of Mondrian whose name has given to the range. However, these designs are much less colourful than his paintings – the minimal designs are made from black glass and brushed steel and, as such, remain much closer to furniture designs from that period. As well as the coffee table and console table pictured, you can also buy a side table to complete the look. 

Prices start at £265 for the side table going up to £529 for the console table.

Knoll

A new table from Knoll for 2010 – but the Girard Table actually dates from the 1940s.

1941 to be precise (although it wasn't in production until 1945), the work of Alexander Girard, offering an asymmetric shape created by those tubular steel legs with a black powder coating and a top in a choice of walnut, natural oak or ebonised oak.

£622 is the starting price.

Green Table 55 at the Conran Shop

Green

At first glance, it has the look of a midcentury piece, but this Green Table 55 at the Conran Shop has a much longer heritage.

It's actually a cafe table, which is made in the original Tolix factory founded by Xavier Pauchard in 1905. So 20th century, but a much earlier reference point that you might initially think. The table is made from recyclable polyester powder coated steel and is good for using both outside or inside as a kitchen table or desk.

Just make sure you keep that paintwork looked after – otherwise it might rust a little bit. Available online, the Green Table 55 sells for £495.

Ulsberg 50s-style bedside table from Ikea

Posted on | 1 Comment

Ulsberg
Grab yourself a high street bargain with a retro look with the Ulsberg bedside table from Ikea. 

Although this design is intended for use in the bedroom, it's got a similar feel to this genuine 50s plant stand we featured a few weeks back. And, while you could probably also use this one for a plant, there's plenty of space for an alarm clock, reading matter and other bedside essentials too. 

The table is available either in white and frosted glass or, for the more 50s look pictured, in dark grey and frosted glass. 

You can buy it in-store for a very reasonable £19.99.
