Love is in the air, a change of seasons is on the horizon and whether you’re proudly flying solo, blissfully attached or simply want to treat yourself - or your nest - to something truly unique to match the illumination you boldly beam, we’ve got you covered.
YOU DO YOU, UNICORN
There’s nobody on the planet more unique than you. You aren’t simply majestic, you’re legendary, which is why you deserve to reward yourself with this ÆRENA exclusive from Santa Fe-based artist, Kevin Box in collaboration with Robert J. Lang, who have cast paper origami into bronze, resulting in a stunning unicorn as rare as you.

THE SARTORIAL STUNNER
She’s that certain someone who always has perfected every single detail about herself: the silhouette, the sophistication and, at the exact right moment, the sass. Why not add a layer of shimmer and shine to this captivating creature by gifting her one of these remarkable baubles?

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS
With spring right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to purge what’s no longer necessary and add some new flair to the abode. Famed photographer Annie Leibovitz’s signed and numbered, limited edition book from TASCHEN is such a grand display of her iconic subjects that it demands (and comes with) its very own stand. Since your coffee table now has some free space, consider an enchanting ceramic piece from Robert Kvenild, and don’t forget to sit back and relax as you fondly admire one of Kate Salenfriend’s beautiful oil paintings, elegantly showcasing nature’s beauty.

LIFE ON MARS
Bold in color, rich in composition and a masterful, tongue-in-cheek tip of the cap to near-mythical fame, Robert Mars has exquisitely grasped the allure that surrounds celebrities and symbols placed upon a pedestal via his mixed media artwork, be it Brigitte stripped down to her stockings, or the most recognizable perfume bottle in the world.

MAY I HAVE THIS DANCE?
Solos can be grand, but duets really are fantastic, and these artistic pairings not only tug on the heartstrings, they seem to warm the soul. jd Hansen’s bronze sculptures are both raw and ephemeral, forcing you to take a step back and really examine the relationship presented. Bay Area born and bred Brett Hammond showcases the drama, raw emotion and vivid colors of falling in love by way of acrylic on canvas, while Sandy Graves shines a spotlight on the warmth and beauty of intimacy when you actually have something solid to hold onto.

The Explorer
No matter where in the world your Explorer might turn up, there’s always a memorable way to mark the journey. Our vintage planetary and astronomical globes chart the course and help you plan the next destination (even if the places have changed names). The photography of Phil Borges and the drawings of naturalist Walton Ford will also afford you the luxury of continuing your travels via artistic transportation, from the comfort of your living room.
The Entertainer
For the life of the party, we have everything you could possibly need to entertain until the early hours. Impress all of your friends as you pour them the finest top shelf option by way of the Napoleon III "Coffre à Liqueur" Port Box; complete with a beautiful hand painted rosewood box protecting four crystal bottles and stoppers. Be sure and make the most of your entertaining space by adding some unique Art Deco leather club chairs and the whimsical dancing sheep of Giuseppe Palumbo.
The Artist
Sometimes the most creative are also the ones most in need of inspiration. When the artist in your life is looking for that extra little push, give a gift that keeps them creating. From start to finish, our 1950’s architects desk will be the perfect addition to the studio, including a built-in place for their tools. Study the masters in Taschen’s latest limited edition large size book, showcasing artist David Hockney’s life’s work in a captivating and signed limited edition. You could also help them spread their wings with the contemporary metal sculpture of Kevin Box, Rising Peace (Mini).
The Trendsetter
Stylish, suave, and sophisticated, ÆRENA is the ideal place to find the perfect gift for the Trendsetter in your life. Also from Taschen, the most complete collection of Gisele Bundchen’s fashion shoots, in a beautiful limited edition, collectable book. This publication is becoming more difficult to locate by the day, with very few of these books remaining. Be sure and peruse our artisan ateliers and give your Trendsetter a piece of jaw-dropping handmade jewelry. Finally, for the wall, the world-renowned Robert Mars delivers incredible pop art, inspired by the golden age of Hollywood.
The One Who Has It All
What do you get the one in your life who seems to already have everything? Something truly and uniquely incredible of course, which no one does quite like the quintessential modern pop artist: Andy Warhol. We have one of a kind (not part of an edition) Warhol artworks from the Grapes (1979) series, which are rarer than any single piece from the edition, and as such, are the perfect gift for the one who seems to have it all...
Please reach out to your art consultant for more information on any of these wonderful gift ideas. As always, more design objects and artwork are available directly on our website.
