Sleek sofas, cozy throws and statement tables—here’s what’s new and noteworthy in home decor.
This past December, Vancouver’s Patkau Architects debuted a new furniture line that includes their Minima Lightform lamps (from $950), made from a durable proprietary polymer that offers a delicate, paper-like glow. Hand-crafted with striking silhouettes, these floor or table lamps redefine lighting as art. inform.ca
Break the mould with the Nieves bench ($3,200) by Kirk Van Ludwig (of Autonomous Furniture, a previous WL One to Watch). Solid oak, a charcoal leather seat and a little asymmetry make it a stylish nod to life’s imperfections. autonomousfurniture.com
Inspired by a boat’s deck, Kobold by Ligne Roset (Classic love seat starting at $7,655) is a modular sofa by Erwan Bouroullec. With built-in storage, tables and architectural walls, it effortlessly shifts from seating to sleeping. Opt for “Soft” for cozy, removable comfort or “Classic” for firm support—because you’re the captain of this ship. livingspace.com
Channel the calming patterns of a Japanese Zen garden with Bolia’s Zen rug (134 by 190 cm, $1,805). Hand-crafted and minimalist, it brings mindful living starting from the ground up. spencerinteriors.com
The TechnoGym bench ($3,060) is a home gym disguised as sleek furniture. It’s packed with everything you need: hexagon dumbbells, resistance bands, weighted knuckles and a training mat. The only thing it’s missing? Your excuses. inform.ca
Moo-ve over, basic seating—the Hotel armchair ($4,295) by Calia Italia has been turning heads since its debut at the High Point Market back in 1998. With over 400 shades to choose from and options in both leather and fabric, the bold classic proves that good design never goes out of style. inspirationfurniture.ca
Designed by Calgary’s Alykhan Velji in collaboration with Silva Custom Furniture for the Modern Heritage collection, the Notting Hill bed ($6,200) in Belluno Sequoia is British charm wrapped in elegance—complete with a delightful fringe skirt. The fleur-de-lis-inspired shape will deliver the full princess treatment, night after night. alyveljidesigns.com/modernheritage
Looking for some California cool you can cozy into? The Sundream heirloom woven throw blanket ($140) has you covered. Artisan-crafted in Mexico from 100-percent cotton, the eclectic throw comes in four breezy-yet-bold designs inspired by SoCal living. Curl up, chill out and let the beach vibes roll. thecoastgoods.ca
Barter’s Smokestack pillar candle and holder ($180) pairs cedar with hand-poured beeswax. Inspired by industrial smokestacks, it’s available in natural or charred black—a glowing tribute to Pacific beauty. barterdesign.ca
It’s good to have options. Case in point: the silver patina Gorizia cocktail table ($6,900). Its base, crafted from three identical metal crescents, forms a bold three-dimensional structure that can be oriented downward for a grounded vibe or upward for an airy, elevated feel. roche-bobois.com
