Candles, but with a glow-up. The Baruch candle by Hoogeland 1770 is hand-poured in the Netherlands and doubles as a sculptural centerpiece. It’s the kind of thing that looks so good, you’ll hesitate to light it. Function, drama, and good vibes all rolled into one. Discover Baruch | Check out the pricelist
Playful, bold, and impossible to ignore. The Oko Circus Cherry Vase by Malwina Konopacka is a glossy pink showstopper with eye-catching red orbs. Handmade near Warsaw, it’s less vase and more conversation starter. Flowers optional. Discover the Oko Circus Cherry
Quirky, adorable, and hitting close to home for my Bavarian pretzel-loving heart. Pretzel Bear is a playful piece by UK illustrator John Burger. Whether you’re a fan of bears, pretzels, or just need a fun upgrade for your gallery wall, this one delivers. Shop Pretzel Bear
A rug inspired by the cherry beetle? Yes, please. Berlin’s Pet Shop by Karhard turned this iridescent bug into pure floor art. Custom-made in Portugal, it’s bold, colorful, and guaranteed to be a conversation starter. The downside? The price might make you pause — but for something this unique, it might just be worth the splurge. Check out the rug
Byakorre Shelf [🇩🇰]
Designed by Niels Gammelgaard for IKEA in 1985, the iconic GUIDE shelving unit is getting a fresh release under the name BYAKORRE — and it’s landing in February 2025. I’ve been eyeing a vintage one for weeks (they’re still out there if you’re impatient), but the re-release might just be worth waiting for. Check out the teaser | Shop a vintage GUIDE shelf
