LA DOUBLEJ DEBUTS HOME FURNISHINGS EXCLUSIVELY ON 1STDIBS
Launching today, 16th November, 1stDibs debuts La DoubleJ’s first venture into home furnishings, just in time for the holiday season. Available exclusively via the 1stDibs New and Custom range, the Milanese brand stays true to its Italian roots, with a collection composed of porcelain serveware, Como-made linens, and textured soft furnishings.
Giving new life to pre-loved pieces, JJ Martin also curated a collection of her favourite vintage furniture from the 1stDibs offering, re-upholstering them in her iconic bold geometric prints. Highlights from the range include Cherrywood Chairs found in an aristocratic Brianzan villa featuring the Clover print, and a statement-making Cubi-clad 1960s Bamboo Sofa.
CURATED AUCTIONS
1stDibs recently launched the much-anticipated Auctions function, enabling shoppers to bid for their favourite items from 1stDibs’s worldwide network of trusted sellers.
In celebration of this new venture, 1stDibs worked alongside renowned designer Jonathan Adler and fashion expert Simon Doonan to guest-curate a collection of their favourite auction finds.
With each auction lasting seven days, shoppers have the chance to place bids on their favourite pieces, or secure the piece before the bidding starts with a ‘Buy It Now’ cost. Shoppers can comfortably browse 1stDibs’s quality pre-vetted collection, knowing every auction purchase is covered by 1stDibs Buyer Protection, and accompanied by comprehensive shipping assistance.
LUXURY GIFTING MEETS SUSTAINABLE SHOPPING
From rare vintage fashion, to antique homeware pieces, 1stDibs merges luxury with sustainable shopping by offering the chance to find a new home for pre-loved pieces.
In time for the holiday season, 1stDibs’s Editorial Director, Tony Freund, shares his top luxury gifting picks from the collection. From William Shakespeare’s completed works (10.), to the iconic Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra pendant (3.), alongside Ai Wei Wei’s Map of China (1.), and even Luca Schieppati’s carbon fiber Ciclotte Bike (7.), the 1stDibs collection is full of gifts for even the hardest to please.
Shopping on 1stDibs for your loved ones and friends is like visiting the world’s most extensive and inspiring holiday bazaar — minus the sore feet. I’m continually amazed by the breadth of our offerings across so many collecting categories, eras and price points. Yes, we’re known for our extraordinary and rare high-value pieces, but you can also find a wonderful assortment of affordable one-of-a-kind gifts. That’s because great design is great design, regardless of the price point. - Tony Freund, Editorial Director
