Refined lights, colours and textures transform furnishings and accessories that become perfect for creating the festive mood.
Christmas is pure beauty: interior, understood as a moment of reflection and family intimacy, but also exterior, through small details that combine tradition and contemporary style thanks to design. The home is the heart of this celebration, here friends and family are welcomed, to them, but also to those who live in the house, small and large decorative details are intended in a discreet but significant way to change the style and the mood of the rooms.
The Christmas tree, a contemporary nativity scene, candles to warm the light and the atmosphere, small sculptures and the right table are some of the possible elements to give as gifts to your home or to choose as personal gifts for your loved ones. Giving design as a gift means offering an object of timeless beauty and value and, choosing carefully, it is possible to find something that has a profound Christmas sense but that can be part of the home furnishings all year round, here are some examples.
Lamps and candles for light games
The lit flame is one of the symbols of Christmas, and light is a precious decorative element for the home as well as a gift full of meaning.
The rechargeable Claretta lamp by Chiara Caberlon for Contardi Lighting is perfect for this period: a cascade of light to illuminate the centerpiece as well as the reading corner, in great style. Claretta is also a perfect gift because being portable, it can illuminate not only Christmas but also an outdoor table on a summer evening.
For those who prefer the dance of the flame of a candle there is the modular candelabra by Stoff Nagel: in bronzed brass it is made up of a series of elements to be combined endlessly to create a candle holder tailored to the table or any other corner of the house that you want to make special.
The classic scented candle dresses up in contemporaneity with Baobab Collection whose red and green bubbles versions integrate perfectly into the Christmas setting while the oversized Max16 platinum version is like a precious sculpture that captures attention.
The table extends and welcomes with style
Christmas dinners are the typical occasion to extend the table and decorate it to create the right setting. Functional and beautiful is the OW224 table by Carl Hansen & Søn designed in 1962 by Ole Wanscher: extendable, it is a tribute to the beauty of wood and deserves to be left on display even in the Christmas mise en place.
Staying on the theme of the table, the Tesori collection by Richard Ginori is equally magical both as a gift and as an element for your home: from flower vases to boxes passing, of course, through the iconic Oriente series of plates, an ideal bridge between tradition and current taste.
Contemporary decoration
With an experimental attitude, historic design brands explore the territory of classic Christmas decoration. In the Wishes collection, Venini transforms the shapes of its most iconic vases into enchanting spheres to hang on the Christmas tree but also to collect in an elegant centerpiece cup.
Alessi indulges in a re-edition of the nativity scene and entrusts designer Elena Salmistraro with the task of reinterpreting, with her creative touch, the nativity and the recurring motifs of Christmas in the Holyedrics collection that includes not only the nativity scene but also a panettone plate, a bowl for dried fruit and, of course, tree decorations, including the topper.
Finally, with their golden flash and the shiny surface of the ceramic, the Hopebird sculptures by Jaime Hayon for Bosa can bring a festive accent to the home, not only at Christmas.
