    WISHBONE CHAIR

    Carl Hansen

    £557.50 (price subject to change)

    Hans J. Wegner’s CH24 chair – known affectionately as the Wishbone chair – is probably the most universal icon of Danish design out there. With a distinctive Y-shaped back, curved armrest and clean lines, the Wishbone is awfully comfortable for a dining chair.

    MONKEY

    Kay Bojesen

    US$165.00 (price subject to change)

    Kay Bojesen’s wooden Monkey is an oldie but a goodie. The designer was a whiz with silver and wood, and this piece, which he created in 1951, is probably his most recognisable design. The teak-and-limba piece now comes in 20-, 28- and 60-cm models.

    GRASSHOPPER TASK LIGHT

    Gubi

    HK$5,100.00

    The Grasshopper – or Gräshoppa – lamp for Gubi is a true classic. Swedish designer Greta Grossman created it in 1947, with a distinctive, elongated conical shade in blue-grey, black, or anthracite grey. We think it would look fab atop iDecorate's marble-and-brass side table.

    E27 PENDANT LIGHT

    Muuto

    £43.33 (price subject to change)

    E27 offers a twist on the industrial light bulb with colourful, rubberised sockets and suspension cords in everything from red to hemlock green or rose pink. Designed by Mattias Stahlbom, the 18W bulb looks great on its own, or paired with its fellows. Go for one, three or five bulbs if possible – odd numbers tend to work best together visually.
