15 Designer Objects That You Absolutely Don’t Need, But Secretly Want

23 May 2024

Some things are hard to call must-haves, but still, they make it to our hearts and wishlists. From artsy precious objects to statement sports equipment, here is our curated selection of designer objects that you can surely do without. But do you really want to?

Homeware

Superfluous isn’t equal to unfunctional. Seriously, which household doesn’t need a proper banana tray or a pop-corn basket-shaped storage box?

Leisure & Outdoor Accessories

Planning to spend some time outside? Skip on the lazy suntanning and think of active recreation. Go for a picnic and don’t forget to grab the essentials such as a woven basket filled with the finest tableware, cutlery, and outdoor games kit.

Sports equipment

Doing hobbies feels twice as nice when performed with chic. A pair of designer skis, sleek handprinted surf, or a luxurious skateboard? Yes, please!

Handy Jewellery

There is a certain charm in everyday objects that transcend their ordinary nature to extraordinary embodiment without losing practicality. A shot glass that is also a ring, a toothpick with a hammered case, or a flack looking like an evening bag are genuine art objects. Even though you probably won’t use them regularly, they do deserve a place in your collection.

Board games

The fashion game is all about playing with a style, but why not take the assignment literally?
