The interiors devised by New York designer Sasha Bikoff are hard to overlook. With an unfettered love of color and pattern, the residential spaces she conceives are dynamic in their individuality and expressiveness, while the commercial projects she helms, like the Manhattan restaurants Flex Mussels and Il Totono push past the expected to offer imaginative dining environments for an appreciative audience. Perhaps most memorable of late is her bedroom suite in the 2023 Kips Bay Decorator Show House in New York, an oceanic wonderland punctuated by a opalescent seashell bed crafted in conjunction with Galerie Creative Mind John Pomp.
Bikoff also lends her imaginative aesthetic to a multitude of brands, crafting unprecedented collections for Abner Henry, Walters, Rug Art, and Oliver James among others. So naturally, when it comes to selecting gifts sure to appease even the most challenging aesthete, she’s a prolific connoisseur. Here, Bikoff highlights a few decorative accents perfect for holiday gifting.

Laguna B glassware
“The ultimate collection to gift this holiday season is my new Murano glassware collaboration with Laguna B. I love gifting tabletop that is versatile and unique. These pieces are meant to be for service but also for florals. Each one is individually handmade and has a festive luminescence.”

“Hannah Polskin’s limited-edition silver menorah is sculptural and elevated. I see it not just being used for the Festival of Lights, but it’s also a great object to display all year.”

Hermès Blanket
“A blanket to cozy up with in front of the fireplace during the winter is such a great gift idea. The ultimate blanket is the classic Hermès Rocabar— the print is so iconic, it goes with everything.”
