SPOTLIGHT: Everything We Loved at This Year’s 2026 Frieze Week in LA

Despite being in LA in February once again for my annual winter sojourn, I promised myself this year that I would finally take it easy during Frieze week, not run around so much, maybe pick three new artists to spotlight in my newsletter rather than trying to digest it all. Well, dear readers, I failed at that task — hence this extensive roundup of everything I loved.

American Design Hot List

Announcing the 2025 American Design Hot List

Welcome to the 13th annual American Design Hot List, Sight Unseen’s unapologetically subjective award for the names to know now in American design. Founded in 2013, the ADHL serves as a guide to the US (born or based) talents influencing the design landscape in any given year, whether through standout launches, must-see exhibitions, or just our innate sense that they’re ones to watch. Considering we’ve recently changed almost everything else about the way we present Sight Unseen to the world, we decided to do things a little differently this year.

Home Studios’ Latest Restaurant Interior, All Rounded Corners and Soft Textures, Invites You to Literally Take the Edge Off

At Theodora, a new restaurant in Fort Greene, Brooklyn’s Home Studios has perfected the cozy but airy welcoming interior. For Tomer Blechman’s (of Miss Ada and Nili) latest outing, Home Studios took their cues from Theodora’s Mediterranean-inspired menu and created a simple-looking yet highly thoughtful environment. Literally underscoring the idea that Theodora is a convivial place where you might relax and take the edge off, most of the surfaces here are rounded and curved, from the tabletops to the bar to the cutest sextet of ribbed-glass porthole windows.

Welcome to Our Very Stylish, Extremely Niche, Amazon-Free 2025 Gift Guide

Nearly every gift guide that's been published this season has wrung its hands about the state of gift guides — how there are too many, and they aren't even that good; how they've become vessels for affiliate link dumps; how people aren't even using them to buy gifts! The nerve! As much as we'd like to be the ones to ignore the discourse, we're here to say three things: 1) This guide is that good. 2) There's nary an affiliate link to be found, considering most of these pieces are by independent designers who are frankly too often confused by affiliate culture to participate. And 3) we don't care whether or not you buy these as gifts for someone. Or if you buy them for yourself! It's just a nice way to spend time, looking at a manageable number of beautiful things.
