Modern industrial design meets nostalgia with this magazine rack from Scandinavian design brand Normann Copenhagen.

This multifunctional basket from Danish design brand MUUTO is sustainably made, with felt material composed of fibers from recycled plastic bottles. This material results in a soft yet structured piece, making it the perfect basket for storing anything from linens to toys.
This Birch Veneer box was inspired by simple geometrics and minimal Japanese design. This miniature piece can provide a home for small everyday essentials, whether styled in the kitchen, the bathroom, or as a catchall on the bedside table. We recommend gifting two – they work nicely when grouped together.
This black marble and metal jewelry stand Danish design brand Ferm Living is such a beautiful and minimal way to organize and display jewelry. The solid black marble base has a slight curve, perfect for small items like rings and dainty studs.
We love this modern take on a traditional coat hook! This set of 5 oak wood dots makes a great gift for anyone who could use a creative way to utilize every inch of space, while still keeping things aesthetically pleasing.

This minimal wooden bowl is perfect for fruits and salads, or simply as a display piece on a kitchen island or dining table. This piece from Danish design brand Form and Refine is made from sustainably sourced solid European oak and has a coordinating cutting board, too.
Deluxe Wine Breather Carafe, $80
This carafe works with both 25 oz and 33 oz bottles, and holds up to 47 oz of wine. Flip it once to serve your wine in the Winebreather Deluxe, or flip it twice to serve the wine in its original bottle. Either way, this carafe allows the aromas of your wine to become more present. We love the brass lid detail!
Coffee Dripper in Natural, $85, paired with Tea Pot in Black, $75
Together, these two pieces from Hasami Porcelain stack beautifully to elevate the ritual of morning coffee or tea. We love the look of the contrasting black and natural tones, both made in Hasami, Japan, a globally renowned pottery district. Gift the full Hasami experience with this matching sugar bowl and milk creamer.
We love the soft minimalist aesthetic of this pitcher from Form and Refine. The name Alcoa refers to the region of Alcobaça in Portugal, which is where this piece was made. The region has a natural richness of fine white clay which has cradled a culture of pottery.
