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.

Design Profile: Jacques & Dani Ruelland

One of the great pleasures of being in the design business is discovering the work of artists that have remained a bit under-the-radar. Such is the case with the work of artists Jacques and Dani Ruelland. Both Ruelland’s had artistic training: Jacques as a painter and Dani as a sculptor. The young couple combined talents and began working with ceramics in a studio at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, setting up their own studio in 1954. They exhibited regularly in Parisian galleries until the early 1990’s.

More recently, fashion designer Raf Simons auctioned off his extensive collection of French ceramics. In December 2013 at the Piasa Rive Gauche, the auction “French Ceramics: 1945-75” (Paris, December 17, 2013) included 10 vases by Jacques & Dani Ruelland. Pre-auction estimates were between $9,500-12,000, with an actual hammer price coming down at $19,300. Said Simons, “Their vases are very romantic and powerful, perhaps because they are the work of a couple.”

With their chic and sculptural simplicity, On Madison thinks their work will not be under-the-radar for long.

Carrying the Torch..iere

When does lighting and sculpture come together to make one fabulous thing? When they come together in the form of a torchiere or floor lamp. Floor lamps provide function and high drama. A properly placed floor lamp or tochiere can add stature to almost any space. Of course, like any other aspects of design, the art is in the mix. Try a mid-century Italian floor lamp next to a classic French bergere chair. Or put an organic looking floor lamp next to a sleek modern sofa. You get the idea.

On Madison presents a collage of some of our favorite sculptural lighting pieces that prove you can have beauty and function.
