Luxury gifts for the design lover now in store.
There’s no better place to look for Christmas gifts for friends and family who appreciate design than at ECC. With access to the best international designers, stepping into their showroom is like entering a world of creativity.
The industrial style of Buster + Punch is evident in their new Machined range. The Machined Vase has a solid metal base in brass or steel supporting a delicate mouth-blown glass vase. The Machined Whiskey Set follows that same theme with a metal base paired with refined glasses. The Machined Candelabra appears more delicate and takes long tapper candles.
Puck glassware from Tom Dixon is the latest edition to his giftware range. The collection uses basic forms of geometry, such as cylinders, cones and spheres, with a satisfyingly thick base that’s reminiscent of game pucks. Cocktail glasses, balloon glasses and ice buckets are all available, and come beautifully packaged.
There is a new range of platters, bowls and small tables from Alentes. This artisan studio from Greece uses raw materials, natural colours and architectural forms to sculpt hand-crafted accessories that are textured and unique. All pieces are made from an aggregate of marble, stone and cement.
A small table lamp can also make a beautiful gift. Choose from classic, sculptural or organic styles. The classic CuboLED is a versatile box-shaped lamp ideal for the bedside. For summer, wireless lamps can go where you go. Equipped with rechargeable battery technology, these lamps can be moved to wherever you need them around the house, with some models also designed for outdoor use.
Gifting an item of USM furniture is a great way to introduce friends or family to this modernist Swiss modular furniture range. Bedside tables are one configuration that make an ideal gift. Complementary credenzas and bookcases can be added in the future with flexible custom configurations.
