50 Gifts We’re Coveting
Introducing the first annual Sight Unseen holiday gift guide! We’ve been scouring our favorite shops, both here and abroad, and starting yesterday we’ve been featuring 25 items per editor. Today’s picks come from Monica, whose taste runs more towards all things monochromatic, graphic, and geometric. These lists are by no means complete, of course, and though we tried to focus on the kinds of pieces we hope might one day actually fill our homes, many of the items are more aspirational than personally attainable. (We don’t know anyone who wants to buy us a $5,400 lamp, do you?) Either way, we hope you enjoy — and if you’re confused about where to start shopping, may we suggest you begin here?Bookends by Daniel Emma for Field, $180 per pair, field-online.comProtuberant Bronze Bowl by Alma Allen, $425, tableofcontents.usLamp by Andy Coolquitt, price on request, lisa-cooley.comFrying Skillet by Borough Furnace, $280, boroughfurnace.com (Back in stock 12/17)Stencil in Black bag by Building Block, $465, building–block.com
