Top Ten Gifts for Dad

For the Fathers, Father figures, and mentors who have shaped our lives, this edit is an invitation to honour them with pieces that carry meaning well beyond the day itself.

Each item in our selection has been chosen for its enduring design integrity — objects that are as relevant now as they were at their inception and will remain so for decades to come. These are pieces with a story: icons conceived by Charles and Ray Eames, Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Tom Dixon and more, valued not only for their form and function but for the thought behind the gift.

1. Eames Lounge & Ottoman

Herman Miller

Designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1956, the pairing combines a moulded walnut veneer shell, supple black leather upholstery and generous cushioning to create an inviting retreat for reading, relaxing or simply putting your feet up. Hand-assembled with considered craftsmanship and a smooth swivel base, it’s a timeless piece designed to become part of the home for generations.

2. Eames Skateboards

Eames Office x Globe

For the dad who appreciates design with a twist, the Eames Skateboard brings an iconic aesthetic to an unexpected medium. Adorned with patterns and graphics inspired by Charles and Ray Eames’ legendary work, these boards are functional art, whether displayed on a wall or taken for a ride.

3. Eames House Bird

Herman Miller

If your dad is notoriously difficult to buy for, the Eames House Bird might just be the perfect gift. Commonly perched upon a shelf, the House Bird is an iconic home accessory crafted after an American folk-art piece treasured by Charles and Ray Eames. Today, it’s one of the most recognisable Eames design objects, making it an ideal collector’s item.

4. Candles

BassamFellows

Bring warmth and refinement to any space with the BassamFellows Petrichor and Sylvan Candle. Encased in a finely crafted vessel, this candle combines modern design with a sophisticated fragrance profile, a thoughtful choice for the dad who appreciates the finer details of everyday living.

5. Radiofonografo

Brionvega

Sound system and design icon, the Radiofonografo by Brionvega is a statement piece like no other. First created in the 1960s by Italian designers Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, its sculptural form and rich sound make it as captivating to listen to as it is to look at, a gift for the dad who loves music and design history in equal measure.

6. Glassware
