BAFTA-winning American TV show Mad Men 

The second series of the glossy drama about the lives of some highly-charged Madison Avenue advertising executives (and the put-upon women who surround them) is out on DVD and Blu-ray this month, and to celebrate - in a flash of inspiration worthy of ideas man Don Draper himself - GQ.COM with Artdecodesignshop.co.uk will give away not only a copy of the DVD but also the ideal vintage furniture on which to watch it from - worth over £1,200.

Mad Men competition with Artdeco !

The Art Deco Design Shop offer you the Eames chair and Ottoman; designed by husband-and-wife team Charles and Ray-Bernice Eames in 1956, the lounge chair was an iconic design of the era and a status symbol for every cigar-smoking, Sinatra-listening, high-roller of the day. A classic Arco “arc” lamp completes the set, with a long-necked stainless steel design - inspired by street lamps - arching up from an elegant marble base.

If you’ve yet to catch up with the best show on the box: Series Two finds our Mad Men at the beginning of the Kennedy administration when anxiety has hit America following Russia’s attempts to station nuclear missiles 90 miles off the coastline. Meanwhile Don Draper grapples with secrets from his past and renewed competition at work while his marriage looks headed for ruin.

For your chance of winning, simply answer the following question: which American poet was responsible for the book entitled, Meditation In An Emergency, read by Don Draper in the climax of the first series of Mad Men?

a) Frank O’Hara
b) Charles Bukowski
c) Allen Ginsberg

Artdeco in the Telegraph !

Rohe materials

An icon of modernism, the Barcelona chair by Mies van der Rohe has served to the throne of the King and Queen of Spain. Generally regarded as a pioneer of modern architecture, van der Rohe’s revolutionary minimalist style still has a contemporary appeal long after his death in 1969. His furniture designs were equally avant-garde in terms of his choice of materials and purity of form. And Artdeco has taken immense care and pride in making a Barcelona chair not only true to the original classic but perfectly complimentary in its design too.

Artdeco’s Barcelona chair is made from polished steel and the finest hand stitched Italian leather. Each chair is crafted from a single hide, is available in six colours (including red, pictured) and two types of leather.

Telegraph readers can get hold of a Barcelona chair for only £584. Price includes VAT. For more information contact visit www.artdecodesignshop.co.uk
