    The Angel of the North. When first mooted I thought it sounded stupid. Then I passed it a few years ago-outstanding, striking & quite iconicHappy

    How late is late 20th Century? Sixties onward?

    If so, some of the Minis we have owned.

    And stretching back into the Fifties - my Ercol Loveseat. It's not usually kept outside, but I had just finished renovating it after I bought it at a local auction. This version (with 13 spindles) was made between 1956 and 1960. Sorry - I'm a bit of an Ercol nut.

    The trimphone.A design that is instantly recognisable and has stood the test of time and was a radical change at the time of launch.That for me is what an iconic design is all about and its great to see what other people concider to be truly iconic.Happy
