Pouf Capitonne

SUITE New York Operations & Product Liaison, Vanessa Vafiades, aka “The Product Guru,” looks to her family for inspiration when it comes to gifts.

“My dream gift would be the Pouf Capitonne.� It is a beautifully designed lounge piece that doubles as a coffee table and, most importantly, is a safe alternative for my (now running) toddler.”

Lampada Poltrona

“I would love to give everyone I know the Lampada Poltrona. The combination of tan leather and polished brass, especially when lit, is AMAZING. It is a very practical gift if you tend to fall asleep while reading, you won’t have to get up to turn off the light!”

CB-41 Daybed

Niki Biszantz, PR & Marketing Associate and website tweaker extraordinaire, appreciates the hard work put into great furniture.

“I’d love to receive the CB-41 Daybed! It is earthy-purist-luxe-heaven 100% made in the USA. My tastes are constantly changing, and for me, an investment piece like this complements a traditional setting as well as a more modern one. You can also swap out the leather cushions for a new color after a few years for a completely new look.”

China Chair

“I love solid wood, natural materials and quality things made by hand (lucky for me, my boyfriend is a master-carpenter). I would love everyone to have a China Chair (or twelve) by Hans Wegner, which is shaped by hand from solid wood. It is a mid-century modern take on a very traditional design so it has historical significance. It also is the piece that inspired a life-long love of furniture for my boss, SUITE New York Co-Principal Kris Fuchs. As many of my friends are just buying their first homes and investing in "real" furniture, I'd love the China chair to inspire them the same way.”
