Vitra accessories: gift ideas for a designer home
Vitra for Christmas 2019 design gifts
Christmas is almost upon us, and it’s time to start thinking about what to give to your loved ones. Maybe even take the opportunity to give a gift to ourselves.
An apt choice always turns out to opt for original gift ideas for the home. Perhaps looking right at the best Italian design or other quality products from the most famous design brands.
For Christmas 2019 design gifts, we have prepared a new showcase dedicated to the most anticipated event of the year, featuring some of the most striking pieces from Vitra’s collections.
So for this year your choice might be made by looking specifically at Vitra products, a brand that is a guarantee of quality. The catalog includes proposals signed by the most celebrated designers of the moment, as well as iconic products by 20th-century design masters such as Charles & Ray Eames, Verner Panton or George Nelson.
Vitra Accessories: gift ideas for a designer home
For gift choice, if you look at home accessories an idea suitable for all ages might be a Desk Clocks alarm clock. Like the Night Clock in total black, designed in 1947 by Nelson himself, an American designer and author of pieces that have made design history .
Still looking at furniture accessories, among Vitra’s newest collections is Resting Animals. A Front study research project focusing on the close connection between human beings and figurative objects. The design duo asked randomly selected people to identify the most emotionally significant and valuable objects in their lives. The majority of responses involved animal figures perceived as having personalities, with definite attributes or a shared history.
One example is Resting Cat, which reproduces in ceramic the likeness of a cuddled cat in a pose that communicates serene tranquility. A gift with intrinsic meaning, perfect to complement the decor of a living room or bedroom.
Pillows are also one of the gift ideas for home design . Such as the new Herringbone Pillows presented by Raw-Edges studio among the new Vitra products of the year. The graphic design reproduced on the fabric is the result of a research project by the designers, who were interested in the subject of dip dyeing. This collection was born in 2018, when Raw-Edges were commissioned to furnish an entire floor of the VitraHaus on the Vitra Campus. For this project, they developed a whole series of small objects including this collection of 100% cotton pillows with down filling and delicate colors.
Vitra lamps: design gifts Christmas 2019
To guide your choice of Christmas 2019 design gifts our showcase dedicated to Vitra furniture, it could also be an inspiration for a more important gift that certainly won’t go unnoticed.
In addition to Vitra accessories, among the most desired design objects are lamps. These are cult pieces such as Petite Potence designed by Jean Prouvé in the 1940s. Swivel wall lamp, offered in two versions, the large Potence (exhibited at Sag80 in Via Boccaccio, 4), and Petite Potence (exhibited at Dome Milano in Via San Marco, 1) with proportions similar to the large model, but with the dimensions contained. Nevertheless, the lamp retains its elegant proportions and sophisticated retro style.
One of the home design gift ideas to add to the Christmas 2019 design gift list are Isamu Noguchi‘s Akari lamps, among the Vitra classics dedicated to lighting .
In our setup at Dome Milano Interior, we included 3 Akari pendant lamps, but the collection is very broad and also includes table or floor models.
Akari lamps are sculptural lamps, designed in the 1950s by Noguchi, who made them by hand from washi paper, eventually creating more than 100 different models. To this day, these lamps are still handmade by the Ozeki workshop in Japan.
Vitra furniture design objects to give as gifts
In conjunction with these designer lamps, in our in-store Christmas display, we chose to include yet another product signed by Isamu Noguchi. An important gift, for an important person to give at Christmas 2019. This is the famous Coffee Table designed in 1944 by the designer. A table with sculptural forms, a timelessly designed piece of furniture that fits any style of living area.
If, on the other hand, you prefer design objects with minimal shapes, from Vitra’s catalogs here is another proposal on the subject of coffee tables.
It is Plate Table, a design by Jasper Morrison characteristic for its essential and rigorous forms. The coffee table is offered with tops in square or rectangular versions.
So if you are geared toward making gifts for the home, this coffee table with its classic shape and balanced proportions might also be very welcome.
Vitra design classics signed by Jean Prouvé
Christmas is an opportunity to give gifts to those we love, but it also provides us with an opportunity to treat ourselves perhaps just for our own home or home office.
In this regard among the Vitra furniture proposals the Compas Direction, could prove to be one of the most interesting gift ideas for home design
It is an elegant desk characterized by slender legs arranged diagonally, reminiscent of the hinged arms of a compass from which the name in French ‘le compas’ is derived.
To complementhome office furniture, as proposed by Dome’s showcase, the Fauteuil Direction. A small armchair designed as a table seat, featuring comfortable armrests with padded seat and back. This seat may also end up on Santa’s list for your 2019 Christmas designer gifts.
