Everyday Objects, Elevated: The Art of Intentional Living

In a world increasingly driven by speed and convenience, there's a quiet revolution taking place – one that celebrates the beauty of slowing down and finding meaning in the everyday. The Design Editions curates a collection of homeware that transforms routine moments into rituals of elegance and reflection.

Craftsmanship That Tells a Story

Take, for instance, the porcelain dinnerware by Mud Australia. Handmade in Sydney using Limoges porcelain, each piece – from 'Pebble' bowls to 'Noodle' bowls – is a testament to the art of simplicity and functionality. The brand emphasizes the importance of care, suggesting storage with linen layers to preserve the clear glaze, reminding us that even storage can be a mindful act.​

Heritage Meets Modern Design

Christofle's silver-plated water pitcher draws inspiration from Art Nouveau, featuring a sleek profile and a flower stem chiseled handle. This design pays homage to Emile Gallé's work on Perrier-Jouët champagne bottles, blending historical artistry with contemporary utility.​

Objects with Soul

Alighieri's 'Totemic Devotion' dessert spoons, handcrafted in Delhi using traditional sand-casting techniques, are more than mere utensils. Their unique shapes, inspired by tribal tools and natural rock formations, reflect a deep connection to cultural narratives and the natural world.​

Designing for Experience

Soho Home's 'Purton' glasses, influenced by the Mexico City outpost of Soho House, are handcrafted in a 'Pistachio' tone that captures light beautifully, enhancing al fresco dining experiences. Similarly, their 'Palazzo' ice bucket, hand-carved from Italian marble, doubles as a vase, embodying the fusion of form and function.​

Whimsy and Wonder

Gohar World's mother-of-pearl dishes, scalloped to resemble seashells, add a touch of whimsy to any tablescape. These pieces, along with their shell-shaped porcelain plates, invite us to infuse our spaces with joy and character.​

In embracing such thoughtfully designed objects, we not only enhance our living spaces but also cultivate a deeper appreciation for the moments that comprise our daily lives. The Design Editions reminds us that intentional living is an art form—one that begins with the objects we choose to surround ourselves with.
