Henry Pouffe in Treecloud Blue, SCP, $336
Alissa Parker-Walker: "As temperatures start dropping in the North East, I’ve really been into cozy textiles. This pouffe from Donna Wilson for SCP fits the bill. The Treecloud is knitted in Scotland from 100% lambs wool using a traditional Fair Isle knitting technique. If you look closely you will be able to make out the tiny clouds and trees that make up the pattern." -
Loft Zig-Zag Floor Lamp (6 arm D9406), Jielde, $1,395
Ryan Walker: "This light can twist and turn to illuminate dark corners brought by fall’s early nights. This twisting and turning was, in fact, what has made Jielde lights one of the preferred task lighting options since its inception in the 1950’s—it also doesn’t hurt that they look so darn cool!" -
Linen Napkin in Natural, Fog Linen Work, $13
Alissa Parker-Walker: "I have been a fan of Yumiko Sekine’s beautiful linen pieces ever since I first laid eyes on them. Quality linen, superb craftsmanship and perfectly executed design make her items a must-have for any home. Plus, for any messy eaters out there like me, linen is highly absorbent and easily maintained." -
Chilewich Bamboo Floor mat in Smoke (4’4” x 6’), Chilewich, $320
Alissa Parker-Walker: "When you find something that is not only beautiful but also highly durable and practical, you stick with it. I have had a Chilewich mat in each and every home Ryan and I have lived in together and I have never had to replace a single one. They are easy to clean, modern in design and feel great to walk on—can’t ask for much more." -

Rondo Gold Cutlery, Cutipol, $85
Ryan Walker: "I love products with a heritage that still strive for modernity. Cutipol cutlery comes from the gathering of expertise and know-how over several generations going back to the very origins of the cutlery industry in Portugal. This is combined with a constant effort for improvement and the insatiable spirit of innovation. The gold rondo cutlery is the perfect marriage of old traditional craftsmanship and modern design." -
Culina Serving/Cutting Paddle, Geoffrey Lilge, $175
Alissa Parker-Walker: "Cold fall weather means more meals inside with family and friends cozied together around the dining table. This serving paddle is the best way to serve your charcuterie, cheeses and olives for said gatherings and it even looks cool when not in use!" -
Here's the Culina paddle in solid walnut. -

Calvo Side Table in Ash, SCP, $315
Alissa Parker-Walker: "Teatime in the fall is one of those little pleasures that we would never give up. This little table nestles comfortably under the side of your couch or chair and keeps your beverage close at hand while taking up very minimal floor space." -
150 Series Wrist Watch in Polished/Cream, Uniform Wares, $225
Alissa Parker-Walker: "Ryan is currently sporting a 200 series wristwatch with a rose gold finish and an Italian calf leather strap… but why should he get all the fun? What I really want is this watch in polished stainless steel with a cream leather strap. It is chic but casual and my birthday is right around the corner. Hint, hint Ryan!" -
Spheres Teapot/Infuser with Wicker Handle, Nick Munro, $140
Ryan Walker: "Nick’s designs are elegant, sophisticated and made from stainless steel so I feel confident using them each and every day (and they don't need polishing). The hand-wrapped wicker handle pairs well with the clean modern feel of this piece and adds a touch of old-world charm. Keeping warm in the fall-time has never looked so good!" -
Therm-O Terra Thermos, Aquaovo, $37
Alissa Parker-Walker: "I need a new water bottle and I have a quandary: plastic water bottles are not environmentally safe but stainless steel bottles are hard to clean. Well, Aquaovo has come up with a solution to my predicament—the Therm-O Terra bottle. It keeps drinks hot or cold longer while on the go and its BPA-free glass body comes with a removable stainless steel tea strainer and a water-tight twist cap. It is easy to clean, beautiful to look at and highly functional—perfection!"Don't miss a word of Dwell! Download our FREE app from iTunes, friend us on Facebook, or follow us on Twitter!
