Bridge table designed by Matthew Hilton from Heal’s
The Matthew Hilton-designed Bridge table is another great design from the Heal's Scandinavian season.
Just a look at the table reveals its mid-century inspired influences, with its elegant tapering legs, and oak or walnut veneer finish. There's a practical twist to this design too: it's able to extend in size. Available in two sizes, the smaller table extends from 110cm up to 160cm, while the larger table is 260cm when extended.
While the table is able to grow or shrink in size, there's no escaping the price you'll be paying for this classic design: the smaller table costs £1095, while the larger version costs £1595.

Vitra Hang It All by Charles and Ray Eames – walnut and basic dark special edition
There was a similar special edition out in the US a couple of years back, but due to rights issues, it never made it to the UK. Not to worry, the walnut and basic dark special edition Vitra Hang It All by Charles and Ray Eames is now available in the UK, should you want a variation on the classic theme.
You can still buy the original 1953 midcentury design classic if you wish, but this is a more subdued limited edition, the plastic coated steel frame going darker, while the coloured balls have been replaced with wooden balls in walnut. Slightly more 'grown up' if you like.
Get one while you can, £182 is the price.
Arne Sideboard designed by Robert Cain
The Arne Sideboard, designed by Robert Cain, is a contemporary piece in the mid-century style. If the name and its looks hasn't given it away, the design has been inspired by the Danish '50s and '60s designs of Arne Vodder.
That translates to straight lines paired with colourful doors and drawers, although it's made from walnut rather than the rose or teak Vodder would have used. The design is practical too – you can adjust the shelves to get the most suitable storage arrangement for you.
The sideboard costs £624. Not bad when you consider prices for original Vodder sideboards go into the thousands.
