Opt for a plush rug to warm up your space in time for the chillier months. “The thick dense pile has small features of differing colors which make the impression shift depending on where you’re looking from, kind of like a painting,” says designer Maja Ganszyniec. 

Sleek black dinnerware will bring a modern feel to your kitchen, and the affordable Backig line includes a bowl and three types of plates so you’re covered for all your dining needs.

“We wanted to create an organic shape that reflects the light in a way that gives the dishes a deep black color,” says design team Pia Amsell and Barbro Berlin. “Both the color and the shape means the food stands out strikingly against the dark glossy surface—and we hope that Backig will inspire many creative and personalized table settings.”
