Gifts, part I
GOODS & SERVICES • FOUND Objects
Our two-part series of gifts by locals for locals kicks off with four products for the host and home.
→ Mystic by Esme Hand-Painted Candles ($42): The latest hot item to grace the tablescape of savvy home entertainers are these compellingly colorful, hand-painted candles. Get them via quintessential LA design store Pierce & Ward.
→ Anastasio Home x Corpus Soap Tray ($120): Beloved for its gorgeous, green-tinted line of body and bath products, California-based beauty brand Corpus teamed up with Connecticut-based haute housewares shop Anastasio Home for a cross-country collaboration that (actually) shines. One part curio, one part functional tray, all solid marble (hand-finished by stone artisans in Rajasthan), and — given its limited run — will also leave at least some of your design-obsessed houseguests green (with envy). Get it now, one color’s already sold out.
→ Nickey Kehoe x Cabana Cashmere throw ($1510): A collaboration between Kehoe’s renowned Los Angeles design studio and revered Milan-based magazine and homewares brand Cabana resulted in this Mongolian cashmere throw inspired by turn-of-the-century hand-blocked prints from the South of France. A big-ticket gift that’ll be cherished for years.
→ Kelly Wearstler for Christofle Serving Pieces (pricing varies): What do you get when you mix a fancy heritage brand and uber-cool LA interiors maven Kelly Wearstler? A true blend of cutting-edge and tradition. These serving pieces, somehow both traditional and cutting-edge, the ultimate flex when slicing a flourless cake. –Zoe Schaeffer
