Welcome to Our Very Stylish, Extremely Niche, Amazon-Free 2025 Gift Guide

Nearly every gift guide that's been published this season has wrung its hands about the state of gift guides — how there are too many, and they aren't even that good; how they've become vessels for affiliate link dumps; how people aren't even using them to buy gifts! The nerve! As much as we'd like to be the ones to ignore the discourse, we're here to say three things: 1) This guide is that good. 2) There's nary an affiliate link to be found, considering most of these pieces are by independent designers who are frankly too often confused by affiliate culture to participate. And 3) we don't care whether or not you buy these as gifts for someone. Or if you buy them for yourself! It's just a nice way to spend time, looking at a manageable number of beautiful things.

Want to Have Your Work Judged by Sight Unseen in Stockholm Next Year? Apply to Greenhouse Today!

I've now been to Stockholm in the dead of winter, when the ground is often covered in ice, on four different occasions. I've visited in the throes of summer — season of archipelago-hopping, 10PM sunsets, and simple but chic country houses — a grand total of zero times. But there's a non-masochistic reason why I keep returning: The Stockholm Furniture Fair, which in 2025 runs from February 4-8, is one our longtime favorites, and it's become even moreso in the last couple of years as we've developed our partnership with the fair's organizers, adding a Sight Unseen Best in Show award to the fair’s emerging design showcase, Greenhouse. We're excited to announce we'll be returning to the fair in 2025 — having bestowed last year's honor on the exciting up-and-coming duo Bursell/Svedborg — and we're hoping to convince more than a few of you today to submit your work to the jury in the hopes of being selected for next year's fair.
