items Beautiful, unusual and occasionally unnecessary. Design-led finds that make everyday life a little less ordinary.
Because apparently even the coffee pot can dress for the Mediterranean. Italian, beautifully unnecessary and far too good-looking to hide in a cupboard.
Dolce & Gabbana x Bialetti Moka Express
A chair that apparently decided sitting still was the problem. Smarin replaces the traditional seat with elastic straps that encourage movement and changing posture part furniture, part sculpture and exactly the sort of beautifully strange design obj...
Smarin sChaise Ergonomic Chair
Technically an ashtray. Realistically, a tiny piece of Italian surrealism for keys, jewelry or simply sitting there looking considerably more interesting than everything around it.
Fornasetti Tema e Variazioni Porcelain Ashtray
Technically, a bowl for nuts. Realistically, a very polished excuse to make even the smallest thing on the table look intentional. Classic, sculptural and far too handsome to hide in a cupboard.
Ralph Lauren Home Thrope Nut Bowl
Part tray, part tiny piece of Italian art. Mythology, unexpected color and enough personality to make an otherwise quiet room considerably more interesting.
Ginori 1735 x Luke Edward Hall Il Viaggio di Nettuno Tray
For the magazines too beautiful to put away. Part storage, part sculpture, with just enough curve to make the sensible part of the room considerably more interesting.
AYTM CURVA Magazine Holder
Less vase, more sculpture that happens to hold flowers. Mouth-blown glass, extraordinary color and the kind of object that could carry an entire room on its own.
Alexa Lixfeld Komet Mouth-Blown Glass Vase
Part citrus squeezer, part tiny piece of design history. Philippe Starck turned something completely ordinary into something sculptural enough to leave on the counter which feels like a very Italian solution to making lemonade.
Alessi Salif Citrus Squeezer
Because perfect porcelain would be considerably less interesting. Seletti turns the cracks into the best part, finishing this beautifully strange little bowl with 24-carat gold. Useful, unexpected and far too good-looking to disappear into a cupboard...
Seletti Kintsugi Porcelain & Gold Bowl
For people who apparently require excellent taste even while losing at backgammon. Lacquered, graphic and beautiful enough to leave out long after the game is over.
Jonathan Adler Zebra Lacquered Backgammon Set
