Housewarming gifts by Aline Eremeeff
Aline Eremeeff

A new home deserves something more than a merely practical trinket. As an interior designer, I have chosen objects that can lend a space personality, atmosphere or a small moment of surprise. Some are bold, others understated, but they all share one thing: they are beautiful in their own right and have something to say within an interior. Because it is precisely through details like these that a new space gradually becomes a home.
Maru Beige planter, Hübsch
A wonderful gift when you want to bring not just a plant but a striking design object as well. Its rounded silhouette and glossy finish make it a decorative piece that stands out even on its own. Available in four on-trend colourways.

Paper table lamp, Zara Home
Asian influence is not about to disappear from interiors any time soon. With its geometric silhouette, this paper lamp brings lightness, texture and a calm atmosphere to a room. Thanks to its simplicity, it works surprisingly well with almost any style.

Héritage Gourmand Tarte Tatin, Mariage Frères

Italian “Stainless Steel” ice cream coupes, HAY

“Hříbek” (Mushroom) table lamp, 1980s
