Daily eBay – Garden table, chairs and parasol set

A joy of working from home occasionally is working in the garden, especially when the weather has been as glorious as this week. I’ve been propping up the laptop on my lap though, far from ideal. What I really need is a table and chairs, preferably with a parasol so that I can actually see the screen. But have you seen the price of garden sets these days? What I need is a secondhand one off eBay. Read more

Verner Panton chairs

Want to buy more vintage and secondhand clothing and homewares from eBay, but don’t have the time to find the best pieces amidst the…ahem…drossy stuff? Don’t fear! Help is at hand. Every day, in the spirit of re-using and recycling, I’ll bring you one gorgeous item.

Today’s discovery is this pair of Verner Panton chairs. I have two of these already and they look fantastic with my Eero Saarinen table.

These two aren’t in best shape, but the current bid price is only 99 pence, and at anything less than £50 for the pair it would be worth finding out if they can be reconditioned. They’re a sleek shape, and such a classic piece of Twentieth Century design.

Bidding ends September 4 at 10.45am.
