Editors' Picks from the Dwell Shop: Holiday Edition
This year, Dwell gives you another reason to make a list and check it twice. Along with our Holiday Gift Guide series, we've upped the ante on gift giving by teaming up with AHAlife to put together a list of the Dwell editors' top gift picks for this holiday season.
This exquisite hand-blown glass fishbowl—which also doubles as a terrarium—won the vaunted International Design Excellence Award (IDEA) in 2011. The underwater glass mountain landscape uses light and shadow to create a beautiful home for the aquatic and terrestrial alike. A great gift for that design and marine-life enthusiast on your shopping list.
For the modern Don Draper on your list, pick up this whisky stone set by Teroforma. Made from soapstone in Vermont, these beverage cubes add a proper chill to your spirits, as soapstone’s incredible natural properties allow for one cool dram without the dilution of ice. For maximum cooling, the stones are also available in a larger size. ($20-$22)
With its retro-inspired look, it may not be instantly apparent that the sleek Crosley Spinnerette turntable boasts up-to-the-minute, modern-day technologies. Featuring a USB connection compatible with both a PC or Mac and an outlet for your mp3 player, this turntable allows you to enjoy your tunes in modern-meets-nostalgic style. Have a not-so-silent night this holiday season with this turntable.
These trays designed by David Rasmussen are functional Danish modern art for your table. Available in hard walnut and maple, each plate is trimmed with a slick pop of color and finished with food-safe oil. Use this tray as a sleek way to serve up holiday hors d'eouvres or simply as a centerpiece for the table.
