Chapter No. 2

With Christmas Eve approaching in less than a month, let’s carry on with the second part of this year’s Christmas gift guide, with Scandinavian and Baltic designers in the spotlight.

• Iron Steamer by Steamery

The lifetime of a garment today is unnecessarily short. The norm is that you buy a sweater, wash it way too often and throw it out way too early. The way we treat our clothes today is simply not possible in the long run.

Cirrus 3 Iron Steamer is a hybrid between a steamer and an iron, making it possible to steam your clothes any way you prefer. This iron steamer will make your clothes wrinkle-free, smooth and appealing in no time. The hot steam also reduces bad smells and kills bacteria. It’s smaller than a regular handheld steamer – ideal to bring on travels.

• Fluted Contrast Mugs by Royal Copenhagen

Fluting has been a permanent feature of Royal Copenhagen porcelain since Blue Fluted Plain saw the light of day more than two centuries ago. With Fluted Contrast, the past and present meet and celebrate in a rainbow of colours.

Whether the Fluted Contrast mug is used as a coffee mug, tea mug or mug for any other warm beverage, the soft silicone sleeve keeps heat away from the surface making it possible to hold the handle-less mug between your hands when sitting in the sofa or walking around the garden or house. The tactile flutes of the porcelain are mirrored on the silicone sleeves, which can easily be removed and cleaned. The mugs are also a perfect gifting idea for the colourful person or even those who see beauty in monochrome styles.

• Home Spa Collection by Egzotique

Most of Egzotique’s products are limited edition and hand made in Lithuania by local craftswomen and upcycled, which means using leftovers from the roll or factory. Collections are made from carefully selected unique materials. Created for women who appreciate it and are looking for uniqueness. This collection is designed for daily ceremonies of spa rituals at home.

• World Maps & Vision Boards by Bold Tuesday

The usual world map is mostly portrayed in one way – the Mercator projection way, which means the sizes of the countries are skewed. But that’s not the only way. To change your perspective and open your mind, take a look at the world in a new and organized way. The actual relative sizes of countries. Or colour in and highlight the countries visited to give a nice visual overview of how much of the world you’ve seen. And how much there still is to discover.

• Fragrance Diffusers by Osmia

Osmia is the only company in Finland that develops its own fragrances. Osmia room scents bring a unique ambience to your home, with a selection of northern fragrances or classic, world-famous scents. The entire production chain is in their own hands and they choose the raw materials themselves carefully.

• Handmade Soy Wax Candles from Latvia

This is the gift with which it is almost impossible to make mistakes! An addition to the interior that will provide warm and pleasant emotions. A great gift for yourself, your loved ones, friends and colleagues. The candles are made of natural soy wax, which is an ECO and environmentally friendly product.

• Cobra 4-Arm Candlestick by Georg Jensen

Capturing a sense of flow and movement, this sculptural stainless steel candle holder makes a great centrepiece on the table, especially when candlelight is reflected back on the undulating glossy surface. Perfect for Advent, but also discreet enough to be used all year round.

Georg Jensen represents unique craftsmanship and timeless aesthetic design ranging from small silverware to watches, jewelery and products for the home.
