We run a Christmas gift guide every year in Livingetc, and it's always an edit of the very best to buy. But this time instead of asking the team to compile it, I reached out to my some of my very favorite interior designers, the people whose taste I trust impeccably, and whose style has been setting the agenda all year.
Athena Calderone, Jonathan Adler, Eva Sonaike, Nicola Harding, Matthew Williamson (and myself) all chose the gifts we'll be giving this year, along with a few we'd like ourselves. So settle back and put your feet up, because just like we've done all our Christmas decorating ideas, we're making your Christmas very easy.
