American Design Hot List

Announcing the 2025 American Design Hot List

Welcome to the 13th annual American Design Hot List, Sight Unseen’s unapologetically subjective award for the names to know now in American design. Founded in 2013, the ADHL serves as a guide to the US (born or based) talents influencing the design landscape in any given year, whether through standout launches, must-see exhibitions, or just our innate sense that they’re ones to watch. Considering we’ve recently changed almost everything else about the way we present Sight Unseen to the world, we decided to do things a little differently this year.

Sight Unseen Collection

In a Major Spring Update, Our Shoppable Collection Has New Outdoor Furniture, Classic Wood Dining Tables, Pendant Lights, and More

When we first started Sight Unseen, as two journalists excited to run our own magazine, we never dreamed we'd one day be able to say, "We sell designer fire tools" 😂 — and yet here we are, nearly 15 years later, with a shoppable furniture collection that encompasses those fire tools, plus bar carts, chic upholstered sofas, sculptural dining chairs, and more, all by some of the best talents we've featured in recent years. Today marks the launch of a huge spring update to the Sight Unseen Collection, which is our biggest expansion yet.

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.
