Welcome to Our Very Stylish, Extremely Niche, Amazon-Free 2025 Gift Guide

Nearly every gift guide that's been published this season has wrung its hands about the state of gift guides — how there are too many, and they aren't even that good; how they've become vessels for affiliate link dumps; how people aren't even using them to buy gifts! The nerve! As much as we'd like to be the ones to ignore the discourse, we're here to say three things: 1) This guide is that good. 2) There's nary an affiliate link to be found, considering most of these pieces are by independent designers who are frankly too often confused by affiliate culture to participate. And 3) we don't care whether or not you buy these as gifts for someone. Or if you buy them for yourself! It's just a nice way to spend time, looking at a manageable number of beautiful things.

Objects & Ideas Are Making Sculptural, Relational Objects in the Canadian Wilderness

Since we last checked in with Di Tao and Bob Dodd of Toronto’s Objects & Ideas, their furniture designs have moved increasingly towards functional sculpture. “We’ve always thought that every piece we make needs to have a strong character and a strong expression — that has never changed. But the way we express our ideas has evolved,” says Tao. The latest pieces are visually alluring objects that have a use, of course: The enveloping Beaver Tail chair offers a seat, the curving Ascend floor lamp provides illumination. But these works also — and just as importantly — are relational, changing the space that they, and you, occupy.
