Our stocking-fillers edit is back for Christmas. There’s a hand-painted pear candle from Pophams Home, dark green tapers from Voi Collective, a cherry red Olaf eggcup from Denise and a striped matchbox case from Muse Homeware. You may want to buy two of some, and keep one for yourself.

Gifting for Stocking Fillers

Furniture is the slowest thing you buy. A sofa outlasts a flat, a table gets carried between three addresses and inherited by someone who never asked for it, a locker bought for a kid's room ends up in a studio holding paperwork. So it's worth being deliberate. The 12 brands in this edit make pieces designed to be lived with rather than replaced: concrete cast by hand in a family studio, burl wood shaped by artisans in Southern Italy, plywood cut in a Brighton workshop. Some are loud, some are quiet, all of them are made by people who can tell you where the material came from. Here's who to know.

12 Furniture Brands to Follow

Wooden furniture is having a moment of decoration. Tables tattooed with swallows, hands, roses, inked straight into the grain. Wardrobes gone polka dot. Chests of drawers with cows that look like they've wandered off a dairy farm and got comfortable. Even bedframes aren't safe - birds mid-flight across a headboard.
Wood has always taken a mark well. It's just been left plain for too long.

Nice Things This Week

Our Monthly What’s On is a curated round-up of the exhibitions, restaurant openings and residencies, and gigs we’re making plans for. From gallery shows and design fairs to new tables worth booking, cultural moments to catch, and the under-the-radar events you’ll wish you’d heard about sooner.
Think of it as your cultural compass for the month ahead: a considered edit of art, food, cinema and design, chosen to inspire weekends well spent.

What's On In July

The shell has spent decades being filed under "holiday souvenir" and not much else. That's over. Scalloped edges are turning up on lamps and mirror frames, mantelpieces are swapping their usual ceramics for conch and clam, and entire chandeliers are now being built from them - somewhere between a cabinet of curiosities and a beach house, minus the sand. It helps that the appeal was never really in question: no two shells the same, no improvement required. This isn't a coastal trend so much as good taste finally catching up with something the sea got right first.
