Holiday Gifting from Inform: Staff Picks


Allison's picks.  
No. 1 is  the Aalto Vase, especially for Tulips. I love how flowers almost lay in this vase, not tight and perpendicular, there's something more relaxed and natural with this vase.
8" white Aalto Vase $185. 

 Ding dong, Droog's Bottoms Up door bell has been a favourite since we first showed it 14 years ago.  Its whimsy endeared it to me right off, and 14 years later I love it still.  
I smile every time I hear the wine glasses chime.
Droog Bottoms Up $285.

Paul Smith's limited edition Angelpoise Type 75, the iconic British table light is a newer favourite.  Only 2500 produced world wide, 130 for the North American market, this is a must have, and at $220 its a great price, especially considering Paul Smith socks go for $30 a pair.
Paul Smith classic Anglepoise Type 75, $220.
John Pawson, times 2.  the Ebony wood salad servers are elegantly minimal, pair perfectly with his salad bowl, both from When Objects Work; these two pieces are minimal perfection at its best.
John Pawson Salad tongs oiled ebony wood $160.

John Pawson Salad bowl stoneware off white $170.

Scent Candles | Eclectic by Tom Dixon, 2012


A collection of three scented candles created to capture the essence of the travelling, trading and nostalgic past with the vibrant future of British life.

Each candle is encased in a reusable metal vessel and topped with a solid morwad marble lid. 3.3" 
$80 /ea


Orientalist captures the faint memory of an Indian wedding with rose petal garlands, giant cinnamon sticks on beach stalls and the musky smells of the Chinese herbal market. Brass and marble.
London calls to mind the smell of red brick, London parks with crocuses and nettles and the salty smell of the Thames at Dagenham. Copper and marble.
Royalty is a reminiscence of tea time with a pot of Earl Grey, scones, strawberry jam and the drive home in a '52 Bentley with tatty leather seats. Nickel and marble.
