October Notebook, Focus On Artful Pieces
With art fairs and auctions in full swing this month, discover artful pieces that will make your home feel very special.
1. ‘The Stand’ by Helle Mardahl
As an apprentice baker, I need to show off my cakes: if they’re not perfect, a gorgeous stand gives them the fancy disguise they need to fool everyone!
And this one by Helle Mardahl is the perfect disguise: it looks like it came out of the perfect dreamy land of sweets and cakes.
2. Nenuphar XL Candle Holder by Goossens
Renowned for their stunning jewellery, Goossens also offers a unique collection of home pieces that serve as jewellery for your space. This candle holder is one you’ll never tire of!
3. Obsessed with Alighieri Casa
If you’re searching for pieces that bring a certain je-ne-sais-quoi to your tables, Alighieri Casa is where to look. Their collection is a perfect blend of elegance and surrealism, with each piece being truly eye-catching.
I’m particularly fond of the Totemic Devotion Dessert Spoon and the Life Aquatic Bottle Opener. Not only are the designs stunning, but even the names carry that je-ne-sais-quoi.
4. Willows Candlesticks by Les Collections
By now, you probably know I have a soft spot for anything candle-related—whether it's candle holders or candlesticks, they are always a good idea and an instant mood-setter in any room or on a table.
These Willows by Les Collections are all of that, with an artsy twist. How could anyone resist?
5. Squiggle Pitcher by Sophia Lou Jacobsen
One of the designers I always return to is Sophia Lou Jacobsen—I adore everything she creates. To be honest, I already have enough pitchers, but I just can’t resist them. There’s something so elegant about being served water from a beautifully designed pitcher—it truly makes a difference.
Yes… it’s all in the details, every single one of them.
If you don’t like the stainless steel version, you can find colourful ones in glass and I am convinced one of them will be the one.
6. Golden Aperitivo By Natalia Criado
We definitely don’t need more excuses for aperitivos, but this set by Natalia Criado will have you hosting even more drinks at your place. Not sure if you’ll thank me for it, but at least you’ll be hosting in style!
7. Japanese Post-Modern Steel Tea Pot
A modern, conversation-starting teapot you didn’t know you needed! With its Bauhaus aesthetic and Japanese design, this is a vintage, must-have piece that should be snatched up ASAP!
8. Everything by Completed Works
I’ve always been a big fan of Completed Works jewellery, and now their homeware line is exactly what I needed to bring an interesting, edgy, and somewhat voluptuous touch to my tables and interiors.
9. Ceramic Water Filter & Dispenser by Endless Rythm
Who would have thought that water dispensers could be that stylish? Well, if the environment crisis didn’t convince you yet, you now have unfortunately no more excuses to make the switch!
The added bonus: Endless Rhythm installed a technology where the water is in constant rhythm avoiding it to stagnate. The result? Water that is cleaner and fresher.
9. Red Bloz Vase By Sheyn
Technology and art combined! This vase is a sculptural 3D printed vase. And it is a very affordable striking piece which will definitely be a show stopper!
10. Salad Servers, Mother Of Pearl By Gohar World
If you don’t know the wonderful world of Gohar yet, well, I am very excited for you as you are in for a treat. Every single piece Laila Gohar creates is a dream. In her universe, dinner parties are never boring.
My latest obsessions are these beautiful salad servers, but make sure to have a look at her collection as you will probably get lost and start dreaming of your next event at home!
Stay cosy until next time!
