This week, during a lunchtime browse in Anthropologie's Regent Street store, we were met by a dazzling array of dining tables, laden with chrome coupes, martini glasses, and flutes. Partner these with the electric blue that's been dominating interiors for a while now, and the result is a super graphic, ultra modern vibe for our Hot on the High Street edit, influenced by design masters such as HAY and Block Design.
These looks lend themselves to mid-century and Scandinavian styles, but the beauty of modern, affordable living is that you can swap in the pieces you like and create more of a patchwork feel in the home. The general rule, as far as we're concerned, is if you love it, it'll probably work as part of an eclectic scheme. Read on for our favourite buys to infuse this cool, space-age look into your home in quantities as big or small as you like.
Just so chic...pop a couple of these in the freezer the morning of a martini party and stock up on olives.

Giving us The Bear vibes, this trolley can be used for its practical purpose (as a kitchen trolley), but if you're feeling adventurous, try it in your living space as a bar trolley for an industrial look.
We're pretty much obsessed with everything Matthew Williamson does, and his collection with John Lewis is no exception. This mirror oozes style with its bevelled border.
Known for their elevation of well-designed, everyday Scandinavian pieces, HAY's ice cup was designed for serving ice cream, Italian-style. We reckon these cups would also work rather fabulously as champagne coupes.
Hunker down with this soft, cosy blanket in a bold shade.
This striking bowl makes a statement – fill it with fruit, beads, foliage, whatever takes your fancy...
With its modern, sculptural design, this gorgeous lamp will elevate any space it illuminates - and even better, it's portable...
This beautiful polished pitcher is a splurge worth saving for. Versatile, with a timeless shape and chic squiggle handle, this modern heirloom can be enjoyed for years to come (and with no risk of breakage)!
