Gift Show: Gallery 91 + Wasara




Nearly every design-minded gift giver’s crossed paths with a cute vase from Gallery 91 at least once last year. These lovely Japanese vases are functional, minimalist and highly transportable. Their latest collection at this week’s gift fair takes a pattern leap of faith, presenting an array of candy colored textures paired alongside organic metallic shapes. The line is sophisticated and light, proving you don’t have to break the bank to have a classy centerpiece.

Walking past the booth, you immediately know the paper pieces are from WASARA, a Japanese company, as the subtle detail and intricate messaging forces the viewer to stop and contemplate. Everything from the angular lighting to the asymmetrical curves to the minuscule paper cuts reminds you that these paper goods are special. Everything is single-use and fully compostable. The exclusive importer and distributor, Branch has been selling these table items since 2009. I not so secretly hope the MoMA store picks them up so we can all enjoy them this holiday season.
