12.03.24 Excerpt: Book by Jill Singer Gift-giving season is in full swing, and while a big, beautiful coffee table is a uniformly welcome present  — this one is our obvious favorite — we wanted to deep dive into a few particularly inspiring ones we’ve been living with lately. In the second edition of our new column, What We’re Reading, we’re looking at two excellent new interiors books, an archival look at the life and work of a beloved Finnish designer, and an ode to the humble lemon.

11.21.24 Gift Guides by Jill Singer This month marks Sight Unseen’s 15th birthday (!!!) and there was only one gift we really wanted, which — unfortunately — we woke up on November 6 to find we definitively had not received. But before we gear up for a tough few years, we’ll be reveling in this season’s temporary reprieve and the moments of togetherness and/or much-needed rest it will bring.

11.01.24 Excerpt: Exhibition by Jill Singer Something funny happens when you’re a company that’s been around for a full century. People start to assume that they already know everything there is to know about you — that they’ve somehow osmotically absorbed your brand tenets or your ethos by virtue of you simply sticking around. For me, the storied Swedish design brand Svenskt Tenn, which is celebrating its 100th birthday this year, was one of those companies.

11.01.24 Shopping by Jill Singer When I was in Stockholm earlier this fall for Svenskt Tenn’s 100th anniversary exhibition, I thought about pewter — which is a primary part of the Swedish design store’s lore and product catalog — a lot. We talk about metal often on this site, but unlike brass, which can be a turn-off in the wrong context, there’s almost no silvery toned metal that I’d ever tire of. Aluminum, stainless steel, chrome — all eternally perfect.

10.09.24 Sighted by Jill Singer For as long as I toil in the trenches of design, I’ll never tire of the design brief that goes: “Everyone please take this same basic thing and mold it in your image.” The results of such an assignment are nearly always uniformly delightful, so I was happy to see the debut of this latest project, commissioned by the bicoastal studio Office of Tangible Space, run by Michael Yarinsky and Kelley Perumbuti.
