The On Madison Christmas Gift Guide: For Men

Okay, so you are one of millions who have left everything for the last two days of shopping before Christmas. You want to get him something special, but there just isn’t enough time to search high and low for the perfect gift. On Madison has you covered. He doesn’t have to know that you didn’t comb every mall in a 100 mile radius—all he will know is that you got him something cool and definitely stylish. Don’t worry, it’ll be our little secret. Happy Holidays.

On Madison's Christmas Gift Guide 2015: for Men

1/ The Lucite Cristallino foosball table by Teckell is extravagant and oh so eye-catching that you don’t need to worry about it being an eye sore in your chic living room.

2/ We just adored Moncler’s store window display in New York and we think their men’s accessories (i.e. this printed leather tablet holder) would make a great gift for the tech savvy guy in your life.

3/ Out with his old, mismatched coffee mugs–these Not Neutral Cooper Hewitt coffee mugs are graphic and would look great on your coffee table every morning.

4/ If whiskey is his thing, these sphere ice cube molds melt slowly so he can enjoy his favorite drink on the rocks without watering it down.

5/ The Echo is Amazon’s sleek answer to a bluetooth wifi speaker all-in-one. It plays music, answers questions, gets news updates, and can even give him a wake up (so that you don’t have to!)

6/ Being the vintage connoisseurs that we are, we couldn’t resist these 1930’s Art Deco style enamel cuff-links that would perk up any shirt in his closet.

7/ Chrome and cedarwood make a beautiful combination for these shoe trees that will protect and preserve the shape of his nicest dress shoes.

8/ We adore anything from the Japanese brand ‘The Superior Labor’, including these beautiful brass shoe-horns, and we think he would appreciate their handcrafted, vintage inspired look.

9/ Edwin Jagger shaving sets use the finest materials: horn handles and the highest quality hand graded badger hair ensure a luxurious shaving experience to start off the day.

10/ This WANT Les Essentiels de la vie Kenyatta dopp kit in a stylish blue/grey/white textile fabric is perfect to store all his necessities for weekend and/or work trips.

Spotlight: Fall 2015 Interior Design Trends

I must confess, October has to be my favorite month of the year. The light is starting to change, the weather is cooler (in L.A. maybe not so much) and I’m starting to drag out my boots and jackets. For me, fall means the holidays are right around the corner and I definitely am thinking about home more than usual. That means sprucing up the house to reflect the season.

On Madison is profiling Fall 2015 design trends with the idea that even a touch of this or a little hit of that can put your space in Fall state of mind.

Color – think spice market and you’ll get the idea. Turmeric, curry, cognac, indigo, eggplant and olive conjure up fall warmth. Navy and ruby bring a royal luxe to the party. Photo via Veranda Magazine, October 2015.Mixed Metals – brass, copper, pewter, bronze. We can’t get enough of metal…ever. Metal, especially copper and bronze, warm even the coolest of decors.Wallpaper – I confess to loving wallpaper, especially when it’s wallpaper as art. Porter Teleo gets it right with their organic, abstract papers that make a Statement.

Geometrics mixed with organics – geometrics bring the high watt energy. Try mixing these with organic elements and the geometrics take on a more refined direction. See how the Rose abstract rug by Calligaris pops with a modern organic wood dining table and stark white fabric covered chairs. Graphic prints – instantly update your space with a punch of graphic style.Electric hues mixed with black – chartreuse and black, fushcia and black, turquoise and black. Electric hues take on maximum sophistication when paired with black. Alexander Wang, Spring 2015. Ceramics – ceramics bring the made-by-man element to even the most modern of spaces. These beautiful pieces were created by Ben Medansky for Kelly Wearstler. Black, white and metal – I don’t think I will ever grow tired of black, white and brass. This is simply a divine look.

Fur Fetish

Ever since Diana Vreeland wrapped 60’s supermodel Verushka in fur and photographed her against the red rocks of the Arizona desert I have adored fur. And when Elizabeth Taylor, wearing nothing but Blackgama mink, asked us “What becomes a legend most”, we knew fur was synonymous with swank.

This season, fur is all over the runways and features prominently in home decor. Whether it’s real, faux, or fantasy fur, we’re fanatical for it! I know fur is a tad bit controversial, but for sheer glamour and luxe, fur is a design element that can take your room from blah to bombshell.

The latest fur trend includes all things animal: rich leathers (especially in glitzy metallics) and exotic skins (python or ostrich) that add panache and texture to a room. Use fur or skins in unexpected places like a hallway, breakfast room or bath, and try unexpected colors for a bold twist.

On Madison has put together some of our favorite looks with fur and leather, ranging from classic to bold, and glamorous to kitschy. We can hardly wait for winter.
