Designer Box: Number 41

Here is a monthly subscription box with a difference, not your usual run-of-the-mill offering but a unique and beautiful way to adorn your home with designer pieces from some of the best designers in Europe. Starting at £29 per month you can subscribe to Designer Box for 3, 6 or 12 months and each box is carefully wrapped and comes with it’s own numbered wooden box which is a collectors piece in itself. Receiving such a coveted box each month is not only a treat for yourself but would make a wonderful gift idea for someone special and in my opinion would be an ideal Christmas gift for the house proud loved one.

Inside each monthly box will be the exclusive home accessory piece from one of the designers with the numbered wooden box, the number corresponds with the designer and his or her particular item. Also included with the exclusive design piece every month is a certificate of authenticity as well as a cop of The Iconic News which includes the latest news about the home decor world as well as information about the monthly design piece. Most monthly boxes do also include an additional decor item such as an exclusive art print which is a great idea as it’s an opportunity to frame a unique and exclusive print and get it on the wall to enjoy.

On to this month’s piece Number 41 ‘Spin’ which has been designed by Flavia De Laubadère from Paris and is as quirky as it is beautiful. Spin is a wax candle “born of a fortuitous encounter between a lathe and a block of wax” and has such a unique look due to the use of a digital lathe. Not only did this produce a very unique and eye catching look to the candle but it also made the production of many candles for Designer Box much faster and more efficient. Having such a bespoke and unusual piece in your home will not only look amazing but also be a talking point for it’s authentic and unique design. The candlestick is a combination of oak and wax and the simplicity of the design based upon the wood lathe is it’s beauty.

It’s the perfect way to grow a collection of unique and exclusive design pieces for the home and once you have subscribed all you need to do is wait to see what beautiful piece you will receive, boxed and ready to display every month. It’s a lovely subscription service for a person who loves unique stylish items and a great gift idea too, with Christmas looming this would make a very unique and thoughtful gift for someone special.  The surprise of receiving a new and beautiful piece for the home every month such as this gorgeous candle from Flavia De Laubadère is lovely as every box will be different and there is no chance of replication either.
