Baruch Sculptural Candle [🇳🇱]

Candles, but with a glow-up. The Baruch candle by Hoogeland 1770 is hand-poured in the Netherlands and doubles as a sculptural centerpiece. It’s the kind of thing that looks so good, you’ll hesitate to light it. Function, drama, and good vibes all rolled into one. Discover Baruch | Check out the pricelist

Oko Circus Cherry Vase [🇵🇱]

Playful, bold, and impossible to ignore. The Oko Circus Cherry Vase by Malwina Konopacka is a glossy pink showstopper with eye-catching red orbs. Handmade near Warsaw, it’s less vase and more conversation starter. Flowers optional. Discover the Oko Circus Cherry

Pretzel Bear Artwork [🇬🇧]

Quirky, adorable, and hitting close to home for my Bavarian pretzel-loving heart. Pretzel Bear is a playful piece by UK illustrator John Burger. Whether you’re a fan of bears, pretzels, or just need a fun upgrade for your gallery wall, this one delivers. Shop Pretzel Bear

Kirschprachtkäfer Rug [🇩🇪 | 🇵🇹]

A rug inspired by the cherry beetle? Yes, please. Berlin’s Pet Shop by Karhard turned this iridescent bug into pure floor art. Custom-made in Portugal, it’s bold, colorful, and guaranteed to be a conversation starter. The downside? The price might make you pause — but for something this unique, it might just be worth the splurge. Check out the rug

Byakorre Shelf [🇩🇰]

Designed by Niels Gammelgaard for IKEA in 1985, the iconic GUIDE shelving unit is getting a fresh release under the name BYAKORRE — and it’s landing in February 2025. I’ve been eyeing a vintage one for weeks (they’re still out there if you’re impatient), but the re-release might just be worth waiting for. Check out the teaser | Shop a vintage GUIDE shelf
