Work From Home is a new vertical dedicated to life and culture in the strange and unprecedented situation of self-quarantine that many of us are dealing with right now. From what to watch to how to get a fit off and how to not think about anything, this is our guide to the great indoors. For updates on the spread of Covid-19 and how to keep yourself safe and informed, consult WHO and the CDC.
One thing that's clear about fashion designers is that a majority of them harbor a strong and unstoppable desire to make furniture and homeware. Raf Simons has a long-standing collaboration with Danish textiles company Kvadrat, Ann Demeulemeester recently pivoted to ceramic kitchenweare, and Rick Owens makes obsidian, marble thrones along with more light-hearted life-sized models in his own image – complete with bulging biceps and long mane of pitch-black hair – as tables and chairs.
The point here is that an interest in designer clothes can naturally extend to an interest in elevated domestic furnishings too.
Explore some of our favorite designer homeware from the likes of Acne Studios, Balenciaga, Gucci, and Jil Sander in our curation below.
Acne Studios
Are we post-hygge? Not really. This blanket combines Acne Studios's off-kilter color palette of beige, gray, and yellow with elements of alpaca, wool, mohair, and a fringed trim.
LRNCE
Coming from Marrakesh-based brand LRNCE, this woven cane eye mirror will add a flourish of Moroccan chic to your walls – and make for a great selfie spot.
Jil Sander
Jil Sander off a suitable minimalist throw made from 100% cotton with alternating fringe edges.
By Walid
Walid al Damirji brings a touch of 19th-century embroidery to his London-based label's handcrafted cushion.
Gucci
A Gucci table that would also function as a table to eat microwave TV dinners on. Is that what they mean when they say a "high-meets-low" aesthetic?
Bottega Veneta
Intrecciato weave cushions. *chef's kiss*
Loewe
Loewe's luxurious made-in-Spain green blanket features the label's anagram motif and a brown leather logo patch in the corner.
COMME des GARÇONS
This inviting scent contains notes of mandarin, magnolia, patchouli, and tea on a base of cedar and ink, inspired by an original fragrance first released by COMME des GARÇONS in 1999.
Chanel
Well, it's a Chanel wakesurf board so obviously you're not taking this to the beach. Maybe propped up against some exposed-brick interior for contrast?
Maison Margiela
Margiela's interpretation of the Russian Matryoshka doll set evokes the house's preferred sentiment of anonymity and discretion.
Marni
Marni's miniature moon man sits at 30cm and arrives in a brown/gray, green/blue, and multicolor styles.
Balenciaga
Sometimes after a shower, you just hang out in your towel for way longer than necessary. Why not make it a more luxury situation? Given the benign nature of Balenciaga ads, you'll basically feel like an SS20 campaign.
