Housewarming Gifts That Bring the Heat

Raya by Stem is a sculptural tealight candle holder defined by soft circular forms and a calm, architectural rhythm. Designed to be stacked, each piece can stand alone or build into a sculptural arrangement that changes with use. Handcrafted in small batches, subtle surface variations and markings reflect its artisanal process and make every piece distinct.

Named after Tadao Ando, the Ando oil burner focuses on stillness through light and scent. A concealed tealight warms fragrance oil on a stainless steel disc, while light filters through the concrete form to create a low, ambient glow. The result feels restrained and intentional, designed for slow, deliberate use rather than display.

These borosilicate glass sculptures carry a sense of ritual and transformation, blurring the line between decorative object and symbolic form. Made using flameworked blown glass, each piece plays with transparency and reflection, shifting subtly with light and movement. Suitable for contact with water, they work equally well as functional objects or quiet focal points within a space.

The Soma Tray studies repetition and proportion through clean geometric forms, crafted from solid oak to showcase natural grain and warmth. Stackable and reversible, it adapts easily as an organizer, serving tray, or sculptural accent. Handcrafted and finished with food-safe oil, each piece feels considered, functional, and quietly distinctive.

This table lamp draws from the proportions of Greco-Roman cups and the soft, wavelike marks left by retreating tides. Its pearlescent surface reflects light even when switched off, while biosourced 3D-printed material and French production ground the piece in contemporary making.

The STADIA Clock by Studio re.d transforms modular stainless steel railing components into a sharp, architectural timepiece. Originally conceived as semi-finished building elements, the materials gain new purpose through precision and restraint. The result is a clock that feels industrial yet composed, reading as sculpture as much as function.

Inspired by the intertwined growth of brain coral, the S5 table lamp by diploria lighting brings organic pattern and structure into the home. Reaction diffusion surfaces echo natural coral formation, while a biodegradable lampshade made from warm white corn starch biopolymer introduces texture and depth. A magnetic connection allows easy separation from the base, with a waterproof, durable surface designed for everyday use.

Shaped by travel and chance, these glasses take form from a piece of cork wood found during a journey through the Pyrenees. The organic silhouette carries a sense of movement and curiosity, translated into glass through a plaster mold blowing technique. Available as wine, shot, or DC glasses, all dishwasher safe and easy to use from day one.

In the Pressure series, Tim Teven shapes steel through controlled force, using extreme pressure to create form. Steel tubes are pressed with up to 45 metric tons, producing deep folds that soften the material visually and physically. These folds secure the base disc and give the vase its function, turning deformation into structure.

Perched on three stainless steel legs, the Maze Lamp brings a strong graphic presence to a room. Its dimmable light shifts easily from functional to atmospheric, staying visually engaging even when switched off. Each lamp begins with a unique 3D-printed pattern wrapped around a rotating tube, making every piece distinct.

Sfär by Jochen Lavéno Mangelsdorff is a tealight holder built from three elements: two porcelain hemispheres and a precision water-cut glass sheet that guides light outward. When lit, the flame travels through the glass and breaks along its matte edge, creating a warm, glowing halo that shifts with the viewing angle. Produced in Sweden, Sfär comes in five finishes, from earthy matte glazes to reflective blues, each set against the glass’s glossy surface.

With fluid, wave-like contours, the Wavy Vase translates movement into form. Its silk white surface emphasizes the curves and gives the piece a clean, sculptural presence that reads as both decorative and architectural within a space.

Six Dots Design’s mini candelabra is a scaled-down version of the studio’s best-selling original, made for smaller tables or layered into an expressive tablescape. Handcrafted to order in the studio’s North London workshop, each piece carries the brand’s imperfect, self-expressive character, designed to feel personal rather than precious.

This hand-sewn lighting piece by Atelier Alz studies how fabric shapes light, balancing softness with structure. Made from sheer textile, it captures the glow of sunlight passing through curtains and holds that fleeting moment in a suspended, sculptural form.

The Barva vase collection pairs abstract geometric forms with the organic presence of plants, using contrast as its central idea. Each vase is hand-glazed in a limited color series, allowing subtle tonal shifts and unexpected color transitions to emerge through the making process. Arranged together or standing alone, the vases read as independent sculptural compositions even without flowers.

FUM is a ceramic candle holder by Romanian British artist Catalin Filip, named after the Romanian word for smoke. Formed in red terracotta stoneware, the shape echoes the slow, upward movement of smoke through a grounded, tactile surface. It works as both a functional candle holder and a sculptural object, settling easily into minimal interiors that value material and restraint.

The Astra table mirrors pair hand blown glass, cut cork, and a round beveled mirror in a sculptural composition. The cork sphere allows the mirror to tilt, while the glass base doubles as a vessel for small objects such as jewelry. Decorative yet practical, the piece works as a mirror and an object in its own right.

The Yuma Tray S pairs a black leather insert with a brushed stainless steel base and hammered stainless steel sides. Black wooden legs lift the tray slightly off the surface, giving your bedside or console a lighter, more intentional feel for everyday jewelry and small essentials.

This incense holder began as a welding exercise. A steel tube split lengthwise, with the weld left visible as both structure and focal point. Light in profile and named Kaioa, meaning seagull, the piece treats making as practice, repetition, and memory rather than polish.

The Mind collection by MILA ZILA reflects how the mind absorbs information, stores fragments, and reshapes perception over time. Subtle bends, overflows, and irregular details carry intention, prompting closer attention and quiet reflection on why forms exist as they do. Spanning water glasses, a carafe, and vases in two sizes, the collection balances daily function with moments of pause, inviting awareness through small, deliberate gestures.
