Now that December has officially begun, I’m here to kick-off the holiday season with my Design Collector’s Gift Guide — forever-pieces suited for any design enthusiast.
For this season of giving, I’ve teamed up with Nest Co UK to put together a curated selection of gift ideas centered on timeless design. If you have a collector on your shopping list this year, hopefully this guide will spark a few ideas. I’ve included many of my favorite sure-to-be-classics — items like vases, small lamps, and eye-catching occasional tables.
There’s an iconic piece in just about every price range, with gift ideas starting around €30. Some of these items are designs we already own and use daily, and some are still on my wish-list. However, all of these pieces are functional and beautifully timeless — pieces that will endure for many years ahead thanks to their sculptural aesthetics, simple detailing, and honest materiality.
Most of the items I’ve curated for this guide are from Nest’s “In Stock” selection, so you can be sure they will reach you in time for the holidays. However, some items might have longer fulfilment periods (since good things take time) so please keep this in mind when browsing — happy shopping, and happy holidays!
