Hawkins New York
Hawkins New York is a design lover’s paradise offering “luxurious yet lived-in” home goods. Co-founded by a pair of aesthetes inspired by Japanese and Scandinavian design, this Hudson Valley/NYC brand collaborates with artisans worldwide to bring you the ultimate mix of form and function. Stonewashed Belgian linen bedding that gets softer with each snooze, hand-blown glassware in perfect hues, marble and brass accents that spark joy on your shelf – it’s all here. Every item feels intentional and a tad indulgent, but totally usable for everyday life. Hawkins basically said, “your home should look like a boutique hotel and feel like a hug,” and then made it happen.
Okej
Okej Studio is a Swedish-American design duo bringing ultra-modern whimsy to home furnishings. Best known for their wavy “squiggle” rugs, Okej’s creations defy convention with bold shapes and punchy colors that instantly liven up any space. Founded in 2020 by a Swedish designer and her American engineer husband, the studio treats homeware like artwork – each rug, mirror, or chair is meant to be a standout piece. Yet they never sacrifice function: their plush wool rugs are as cozy underfoot as they are eye-catching. With Okej, minimal Scandinavian design gets a fun, funky twist, proving that clean lines and playful curves can happily coexist.
The Primary Essentials
The Primary Essentials is the Brooklyn shop where mundane meets magical. This independent boutique (opened by tastemaker Lauren Snyder) elevates primary essentials of daily living through exquisite design. Shelves are lined with things like hand-thrown ceramics, small-batch apothecary goods, linen kitchen towels, and coffee table books – each item carefully chosen to bring beauty to routine. The style is minimal but warm, with an emphasis on craftsmanship and materials that age gracefully. Whether you’re picking up a scented candle or a stoneware mug, you know it’s going to become your new favorite thing. It’s everyday living, but profoundly prettier.
Upton
Upton is a Southern California design studio on a mission to blur the line between home goods and art. Founded by husband-and-wife duo Michael and Mariel Upton, this artist-owned brand creates everything from modern wall hangings and “please-step-on-me” woven rugs to funky wine racks and sculptural lamps. Each piece is designed in-house with an eye for quality and a love for the perfectly imperfect, so you’re getting gallery-worthy craftsmanship minus the snooty vibes. Upton believes home is a sacred space and that everyday objects should spark joy – whether it’s an abstract print that ties the room together or a cool record stand that shows off your vinyl and your style. Live with beauty every day? Don’t mind if we do.
WMS&CO
WMS&CO. (short for Williams & Co.) transforms your work desk into a style statement. This NYC-based studio creates exquisitely crafted desk accessories – think weighty brass pens, minimalist rubber stamps, leather-bound notebooks – all with a touch of old-school elegance. Founded by a designer duo with a passion for heritage design, WMS&CO. believes even a paper clip can (and should) be beautiful. Their collection blends form and function seamlessly, making everyday tools feel special. If you geek out over the feel of good paper or the click of a fine pen, welcome to your personal heaven – where design snobbery meets productivity.
Mattina Moderna
Mattina Moderna is a mother-daughter design studio bringing a ray of French Riviera sunshine to home decor. Based in Nice and founded in 2020, this “slow design” duo creates collectible pieces (think one-of-a-kind lamps and funky home objects) in very limited runs. Each design starts as a 3D model and ends up handcrafted to order – often using deadstock fabrics, hand-painted ceramics, and a ton of love – so you get a piece that’s both cutting-edge and timeless. What began as a hobby of thrifting vintage lamps during lockdown quickly evolved into a line of bespoke lighting that marries old-school charm with modern sustainability. The result? Charmingly quirky lamps that feel like treasure-hunt finds, because they basically are.
Studio Mirte
Studio Mirte transforms living spaces into cozy art galleries with its playful textile designs. Based in Utrecht, Netherlands, this indie studio (helmed by textile artist Mirte van Kooten) hand-tufts one-of-a-kind rugs and wall hangings that bring color, texture, and whimsy into your home. Each piece is a cozy work of art – bold shapes, funky patterns, and a touch of Dutch quirkiness – designed to make your floor (or wall) the happiest spot in the house. If you’re looking to upgrade your decor from bland to eye-popping, Studio Mirte has you (and your floors) covered with art you can walk on.
Coming Soon New York
Coming Soon is a Lower East Side design playground serving up bold, quirky home goods and gifts. This independently owned shop curates fun-yet-functional pieces from emerging designers and vintage finds, inviting you to play with your decor. Helmed by two design-world veterans, it believes in making your space uniquely you (corn stool and confetti cutting board, anyone?) – all at prices that won’t make you cry into your throw pillow. It’s like an inclusive house party where every aesthetic is welcome and gift-wrapping is taken very seriously.
Casa Shop
Casa Shop is a haven for the curious decorator. This Richmond-based boutique marries one-of-a-kind vintage finds with fresh pieces by contemporary artists, creating a collection that defies labels but always sparks conversation. Think serious design with a playful twist – hand-blown glassware, cheeky art objects, and jewelry that doubles as sculpture – each item is hand-picked to make you smile, ponder, or gasp “Where did you find that?!” Founded in 2016 by Emi Moore (and later joined by Jacqueline Davis), Casa Shop lives for the quietly extraordinary and the beauty in the unexpected, proving home decor can be both intellectual and a little irreverent.
