Giving designer gifts at Christmas is not as expensive as you might think: there are plenty of options even for those on a tight budget! Yes, when you know where to look and what to buy, it is possible to put items under the tree that are not only beautiful to look at, but also very classy and signed by prominent designers or design brands.
We have prepared for you a list of design objects, original and special, to give as Christmas presents, suitable for those with a maximum budget of 100€: you will see how impressive they are, without having to spend an arm and a leg! Let’s start.
Concrete Moose – Korridor
From the forests of good design to your home. Concrete Animals is a collection with clean silhouettes that give each animal its own personality. Simple, beautiful, timeless!
Bobby – ArchitectMade
Architectmade’s cute dogs go from sitting to begging for a piece of food, from playing to crawling: thanks to their workmanship and their jointed nature, their personality shines through, making them a joyful everyday companion (without having to walk them!).
Damasco – Formae
The bookend proposed by Formae is an architectural vision in miniature, with an unprecedented character and iconic imprint. A labyrinthine and disorienting bookend, with a small-scale perspective view. Functional and intriguing at the same time, it is an excellent furnishing accessory for those who love to read!
You Rock! – Candle Hand
Candle Hand is a brand specialising in the production of designer candles with a fun, original and unexpected shape. The “You Rock!” version is just one of many. Have a look through our catalogue and you will find many more: from baby hands to peace signs, from OK to… the middle finger!
Flip Click Clock – Gingko
Gingko’s Flip Click Clock is part of the second generation of their best-selling clock collection and has retained the same design concept of crisp, clean lines. The Flip Click Clock is now made of natural wood material (cherry, walnut, ash, and white maple), is incorporated with the popular LED clock system, and has a laser-engraved touch top.
Funivia cuckoo clock – Pirondini
Made of lacquered MDF and turned solid beech, this clock combines tradition and modernity with its electronic cuckoo. Equipped with a photocell, the mechanism prevents the cuckoo from singing in the absence of light, making it perfect for bedrooms or rooms dedicated to rest. The cuckoo’s volume is adjustable and can be turned off. This clock, made entirely in Italy, reflects the craftsmanship of Pirondini, which has been creating uniquely designed and original clocks since 1978.
Dalù – Artemide
Artemide’s Dalù lamp is a re-edition of the classic 1960s space age table lamp designed by Vico Magistretti. Distinguished by its beautiful, slightly curved design, the body is made of moulded thermoplastic.
Radius room diffuser – Blueside
Thanks to its innovative structure, it ensures effective diffusion of fragrances, creating a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. Its refined lines and high-quality materials make it a perfect element for those who wish to enrich their spaces with a sophisticated touch. Ideal for the home or office, Radius transforms the environment into a place of well-being.
Cyanotype – Swab Design
Cyanotypes are made on high-quality card stock, coated with a photosensitive product. The subjects, carefully chosen in advance, are then exposed to sunlight through this paper. Rinsed with clean water, the process is interrupted to achieve a brilliant Prussian blue impression, without ink. As each cyanotype is handmade, the shades of blue vary slightly and make the painting absolutely unique!
Tenochtitlan Mini candleholder – Driade
The Tenochtitlan Mini candleholder by Driade, designed by Vittorio Locatelli, is a sculptural piece inspired by nature. Made of painted cast aluminum, the candelabra is reminiscent of two coral branches that seem to emerge from the seabed, creating a unique and intriguing visual effect.
Smart Book – Gingko
An unusual decorative light in the shape of a book. It turns into a book when closed and transforms into a sculptural light when open – a great gift for book lovers!
Penguin – ArchitectMade
The wooden penguin was designed by Hans Bunde in 1954. He designed it as a gift for his two sisters! There are two sizes, the big one is 26 cm high and the small one is 18 cm high. These adorable designer penguins are made of beech wood and are hand-painted. The painted back represents the bird’s graceful plumage while the unpainted chest reveals the natural qualities of beech wood. The penguins are particularly graceful and together form a beautiful decoration on a dresser, in a cupboard or on a table.
