Here we go again: it’s that time of the year when the gifting rat race is about to start. How to find the right gift without stumbling on a faux pas AND make an impression? Worry not, we’ve put together the classiest, design-centered gift guide for anyone you care about. To make it easier we’ve profiled the groups of people most likely to orbit in your entourage and matched our well-thought selection to their lifestyle. Read on and shop the ultimate find: think of it as our gift to you… Happy Holidays!
The Biennials
Members of this species are known to have the longest hibernation period, emerging from their secluded abodes once every two years when they flock to Venice to enjoy the exclusive pre-pre-pre-pre-previews of the Biennale. The time in between the biannual fête is spent in otherworldly homes filled with artworks and bespoke furniture pieces.
The Crypto Crowd
They are arguably the only people on this planet who are simultaneously miners (in the blockchain) and farmers (breeding the cutest baby vicunas in the Andes). Though it’s hard to guess what makes them tick – apart from the odd NFT and a custom-made cold wallet – we nailed it for you.
Supertall & Taller
These movers and shakers of our time swear by two magic letters, PH, preferably attached to a high two-digit figure… No, we are not talking about pH balance of skincare products… Meet the happy owners of the highest, most beautiful penthouses in the world. The sky’s the limit, literally.
Million Followers Baby
A generation of influencers who have millions of followers. Their obsession: creating the perfect backdrop for their stories, fashionably styled with an entrancing décor. Strike the pose!
The Green Lot
They care for the planet and buy responsibly designed furniture pieces. The only gift they’ll consider and appreciate must include the three magic words upcycled, reclaimed and eco-friendly.
Foodie with an attitude
These are the people who will spare no effort hunting down that particular kind of puntarella recommended by chef Ottolenghi. But there is more to exquisite food than meets the eye: a meal must be a gustative and aesthetic experience.
Hostess with the Mostess
The art of entertaining guests is… well, an art, mastered by very few. So, how can you please someone who can effortlessly style the most tasteful atmosphere? From one-of-a-kind tablescapes to accent accessories here is how.
Born Again Vintage
They know how to pronounce Mies (van der Rohe) and would not be caught dead saying Le Corbusier (those in the know just say Corbu) although what they really love about Le Corbusier is Pierre Jeanneret… Their favorite pastime is debating over provenance: that gorgeous Jean Royère cabinet that fetched $1.8 million at Sotheby’s: where did it come from?
