Plants

With biophilia, sustainability, resilience, and well-being at the forefront, the common sentiment in recent years is to be as green as possible. So, what better gift than a beautiful house or office plant, perhaps one that requires low maintenance, so the recipient doesn’t have to become a green thumb?

We all need a little more calm, including your designer friend’s clients or guests.

Choosing a plant is a perfect gift idea for interior design lovers at any time of the year and is ideal for adding a human touch to a desk or on a kitchen island.

An art object from the MoMA Store

We are absolutely sure that the Architect’s Cubes, designed by John Bennett and Gustavo Bonevardi – sold at the MoMA Store, are a treasure that any architect or designer would appreciate.

These are not ordinary building blocks, but eight cubes made from natural materials (sold in an elegant black tray) and seem designed to “ignite” creative thinking. They are an extremely beautiful gift to look at and will delight the desk of the gift recipient, whether an architect, interior designer, or otherwise.

Relaxing fragrance

Since 2020, people have increasingly invested in unique fragrances for their homes and then for their offices: the combination of design and olfactory experience, we are sure, will provide a lasting memory to those who pass through the environment with the right fragrance.

It’s no secret: in the world of candles, Diptyque is the best of the best. This brand’s Parisian candles are renowned for their exceptional quality and beautiful designs.

Diptyque candles are made in the fashion capital of the world: it’s no surprise that they are also designed to be fashionable; they fit comfortably even in the most fabulous home, thanks to their classic design, beautiful labels, and iconic glass jar.

Diptyque offers true works of art that complement the decor and are featured in photo shoots of the most famous interior design magazines, and it’s easy to see why: they are always wonderful and effective; there is simply no better way to bring fragrance, light, and beauty into a space.

Books, even with an aesthetic

A Dictionary of Color Combinations is the book that we believe will fully satisfy those who are constantly in search of beauty.

Sanzo Wada was an artist, teacher, costume designer, and kimono stylist during a turbulent period in Japanese avant-garde art and cinema; he was among the first to explore the possible combinations of traditional colors with those inspired by the West, helping to lay the foundations for contemporary color research. Based on his original work from the 1930s, this book offers 348 color combinations, as attractive and evocative as the book’s design itself. A pocket-sized book that becomes a true resource in the hands of any creative.

Whether you are an architect or know one, or want to win them over, this is our list of fantastic gifts that an interior designer can give or receive.
