Ssense’s huge summer sale is underway, and its designer home section deserves just as much attention as the site’s seemingly endless discounts on men’s and women’s fashion. There’s plenty of eye-catching linens from some of our favorite European brands like Tekla and Magniberg, in case you’re looking to freshen up your bedding. Or if you want a beautiful accent piece or two for your kitchen, you’ll find a range of dainty glassware and colorful flatware from Sophie Lou Jacobsen and Sabre, to name a few. It can be overwhelming to scroll through Ssense’s impressive collection of items, so as the Strategist’s home writer, I’ve done most of the work for you to bring you the best deals. Below, you’ll find my finds for your kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and more—many of which the Strategist team can personally vouch for. I’ve grouped everything into categories to make shopping easier.
Tekla makes some of my favorite bath towels. I love the deep navy blue of this set, which includes bath, guest, and hand towels.
Enjoy the last weeks of summer on this beach towel with bold stripes.
This checked towel from Baina is another personal favorite of mine.
I was keen to try out this patchwork duvet cover from Stockholm-based textile company Magniberg, which reminds me of men’s shirts.
This porcelain ashtray from Seth Rogan’s cannabis company also serves as a very attractive side table.
Here is a beautiful wool-cotton blend twill cushion from Hay, filled with duck feathers.
I own a larger version of this in red and can’t express how adorable – and comfortable – it is. (My kids also love untying the knot and pretending it’s a snake.)
This is how “Sense” it gets: a meditation cushion by Marine Serre, decorated with the designer’s signature moon print.
This smart, dimmable lamp from Soft-Geometry is hand-cast from resin and can be controlled by voice (via an app).
A pepper mill so sculptural that you can simply leave it on the table.
There are some beautiful pieces for sale by Paris-born, Lisbon-based ceramicist Laetitia Rouget, including this hand-painted fruit platter.
We also love Mepra cutlery because of its rounded, heavy handles.
An ornate water carafe by Sophie Lou Jacobsen.
I love the subtle grey base and the fact that the glasses stack and are so easy to store.
These coupes from Fazeek feature striped stems that are quite festive.
This Cracked Egg candle from Janie Korn is 70 percent off.
And a scented candle from the centuries-old Italian company Ginori 1735.
This small coffee table from Danish brand Muuto is the perfect size for a coffee (or cocktail) and a book.
