Christmas Shopping - Designer Gifts


As a design blogger I am convinced that by making designer gifts we achieve double satisfaction and many goals: we make someone happy with something really beautiful and on the other hand we help for creating a better living environment, because that is one of the main purposes of design. Enjoy some beautiful and useful Christmas shopping suggestions:


Designed by Pernille Vea, Galerie Vase 2 in 1 by Menu was inspired by the shape of a perfect rose. The two pieces, an inner and an outer vase, can be used separately or one inside the other, changing the look of the vase according to the angle at which the 2 pieces are set. Varying the water levels (or the color) used in each vase provides a sort of optical illusion..












Simplicity Vase by Menu

beautiful bud vase that combines materials and traditions from Scandinavian design with a touch of Japan. Just a single flower stem is turned into a work or art.

Compact Herb Chopper
- a non-slip chopping board and double bladed cutter in one. Simply remove the cutter, chop your herbs to your liking, and then safely store the blade back into the compartment. Also suitable for cutting garlic, vegetables, nuts, or chocolate. The perfect gift for your favorite chef!

Patricia Urquiola 
is my favorite contemporary designer and that is because her products for the home are always imaginative and at the same time practical, feminine and inspiring. May be you can get some inspiration from the book about her:

Made in Italy by Kartell and designed by Patricia Urquiola, the T-Table was a giant hit in Milan. Manufactured in durable PMMA. The surface of the table is reminiscent of embroidery - a product that is functional and extremely decorative.
