Soft illumination
This newly-launched range of lamps by Mdina Glass boasts a quirky and curious design – the robust glass base features rounded spikes all over, in a range of soft colour options that cast a warm glow when the lamp is switched on, and a striking decorative piece to boot.
A covetable tea set
Inside the Rabat studio of artist and illustrator Stephanie Borg, a dizzying selection of colourful, Malta-inspired homeware and décor makes narrowing down a favourite item somewhat of a task. However, we do recommend the teacup and saucer from the Mediterranea Ancestry Collection, featuring traditional cement tile patterns on fine bone china, finished with a glimmering gold rim.
Sustainable décor
For anyone who loves bohemian macramé around their home, the range of tree decorations by local artisan Art of Knots by Astrid will surely resonate. Hand-made with premium recycled cotton cords, her pieces embody a whimsical and alternative aesthetic, ideal for those who favour subtlety and simplicity.
Discreet details
Place it in a large bowl of nuts on your dinner table or leave it on display in your kitchen – either way, this charming nutcracker cast in solid brass by Danish brand Ferm Living is an equally attractive and functional piece of Christmas décor, which is also available in a black polished version. Available at Eclecticist.
Everlasting florals
Floral artist Philippa of Botanical Curiosities weaves her magical touch into every dried flower wreath or bouquet, underscoring the wild beauty and enduring nature of dried flowers – a perfect piece of Christmas decor to invest in that will outrun trends and the effects of time.
Festive tableware
From dinner sets in a suitably festive motif and colour to ceramic baubles and nativity sets designed specifically for this season, Villa Bologna Pottery is a treasure trove of practical and decorative pieces for the home, made by hand and with love in the villa’s century-old pottery.
