HAY’s Rey chair is a fresh take on a chair Bruno Rey designed in 1971.
HAY: Rey chair
HAY’s hugely popular Rey chair charms with its softly rounded lines and a design that is simple yet full of detail. Its timeless look and tempting range of colors make it a striking addition to a dining room, a kitchen, or an entryway.
The way the seat is mounted gives the Rey chair its signature look: the seat appears to float just above the frame, lightening the sturdy silhouette in a way that is hard to resist.

Louis Poulsen’s AJ table lamp looks right at home on a windowsill or a bedside table.
Louis Poulsen: AJ table lamp
The expressive, iconic shape of Louis Poulsen’s AJ lamps was born in 1957, when Danish architect Arne Jacobsen designed the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, interiors and furniture included.
The AJ lamp’s cone-shaped metal shade tilts up and down, and its matte white interior reflects the light softly and without glare. “AJ is a great choice for lighting a reading nook,” says Design Stories editor-in-chief Mikko Vaija.

Marimekko’s Unikko duvet cover is brought to life by Maija Isola’s iconic floral print.
Marimekko: Unikko duvet cover
Anyone with an interest in Finnish design knows Unikko, but do you know the story behind it?
The Unikko pattern, released in 1964, came about after Marimekko’s then head Armi Ratia had declared that she wanted no floral prints in the collection at all. In protest, Maija Isola designed an entire series of flower prints, one of which was Unikko, and Ratia fell for it instantly, her declaration notwithstanding.

The straightforward design pairs easily with both Iittala’s Solare and Teema tableware.

Buy one or several. Artek’s stools stack into a beautifully spiraling tower when they’re not in use.
Artek: Stool 60
Artek’s three-legged Aalto stool is a brilliantly beautiful thing, and its simple form never ages. Stool 60 makes an excellent extra seat, and it doubles as a handy surface beside an armchair or as a bedside table.
“The three-legged birch stool is an instantly recognizable classic, but every time I look at it, I’m struck by how sculptural and light it is. I’d finish the set with a black and white Zebra seat cushion,” says Finnish Design Shop content creator Susa Pääkkönen.

Interconnect draws the eye. A candleholder can hardly be more striking than this.
Audo Copenhagen: Interconnect
Audo Copenhagen’s Interconnect candleholder plays with the contrasts of basic geometric forms and boldly scaled proportions. Designed by design tastemaker Colin King, the sleek metal piece brings together rounded elements and angles of varying degrees.
Interconnect makes a gorgeous setting for a single taper or antique candle. Thanks to its sculptural shape, it works as a striking object on its own, no candle required.

&Tradition’s cordless Flowerpot VP9 table lamp travels along to wherever light is needed.
&Tradition: Flowerpot lamps
Verner Panton designed the cheerful, round Flowerpot lamp under the spell of 1960s Flower Power, and it became a beloved design icon as soon as it appeared. Along with its soft light, Flowerpot spreads a little of that peace and love era mood.
The rechargeable Flowerpot VP9 is easy to move from one spot to another as needed, and it suits the kitchen, the living room, and the summer cabin alike. It might also make a lovely holiday gift.

GUBI’s Tavolo a Dischi table was originally designed back in 1963.
GUBI: Tavolo a Dischi
GUBI’s Tavolo a Dischi dining table is a slightly lesser known classic, and its shape nods toward another icon. The silhouette brings to mind the Tulip table by Eero Saarinen, which, as the story goes, inspired Carlo De Carli as he designed his own table in the 1960s.
In the Italian designer’s version, that familiar silhouette, opening up like a tulip, is built from stacked discs of birch plywood and walnut.

Georg Jensen’s Bernadotte French press brews six cups of coffee or tea at a time.
Georg Jensen: Bernadotte
Georg Jensen’s Bernadotte French press works for an everyday breakfast table and as the centerpiece of a more festive setting. The elegant press is made of beautifully polished stainless steel.
The Bernadotte series is a true Scandinavian design classic. The first pieces in the long-lived collection were designed back in the 1930s, when functionalism was sweeping through the design world.
