5 Design Objects That Will Elevate Your Life in 2019
From keeping up with friends to keeping your plants alive, enjoy better living through beautiful design.
Gople Lamp
Without turning your living room into a greenhouse, you can introduce a lighting solution that will keep your houseplants lush and alive. The Gople Lamp, a collaboration between Italian lighting specialist Artemide and design collective Bjarke Ingels Group, diffuses white, red and blue hues, creating an ambient effect that you and your fern will love.
Moo Postcard
A thank you email goes into your trash, but a thank you postcard gets hung with a magnet on your cubicle wall—especially if it’s pretty. Moo is bringing back the art of gratitude with graphic postcards worthy of a mahogany frame. Custom designs let you craft a visual concept that’s uniquely yours. Or, just personalize one of the eye-popping templates already available. Nobody will know the difference!
The Loue Dog Bed by Labbvenn
Loue is a handcrafted mid-century-modern-inspired dog bed from Polish brand Labbvenn. We can’t promise it’ll keep your furry friend off your couch, but it’ll give you lots of great Instagram pics.
The Vault
The Vault is a monthly online “zine” from With/out Pretend, a Toronto-based publisher that distributes work solely by women. For $5 a month, you’ll have access to that month’s original illustration and fiercely uncensored featured story on its URL, and if you sign up for the annual All Access subscription, it promises bonus digital content and exclusive gifts in your IRL mailbox.
AromaTech
These waterless diffusers, which are used by luxury hotels, are now available to home consumers. They use cold-air nebulizing technology, which means your bedroom can smell like green tea and lemon grass without your having to light a single candle.
