Welcome to The Editors’ Cut, our monthly column dedicated to beautiful and useful finds for all over the house. In this installment: Maybe it’s the constant engagement with our phones, or the proliferation of AI and its uncanny creations, but lately we’ve found ourselves drawn—pun fully intended—to doodles, markings, and sketches, the kind scrawled in the margins or scribbled while daydreaming. From lampshades to tablecloths to beguiling serving platters, these 10 finds give permanence to the personal and to shapes, figures, and forms—the more irreverent the better. — The Remodelista Editors
Nordic Knots Giverny Rug
Above: Painterly and evocative, this new-release rug takes cues from one of the most famous subjects in all of art: Monet’s watery garden. Shop now.
Capriccio Placemat
Above: Visitors to Porta in Brooklyn will recognize the line drawings on these melamine placemats: They’re a nod to the shop’s playful ceiling, freehanded by artist Alley Bell. Shop now.
Ini Ceramique Volute Vase
Above: Ceramics by South Korean designer Inhee Ma are embellished with strokes of black underglaze before firing: a 2D effect on a 3D form. Shop now.
Scribbles, Two Ways
Above L: Wildly splurgy but no less inspiring, this lamp is a collaboration between abstract artist Joe Henry Baker and ceramicist Analuisa Corrigan. Shop now. Above R: A dish from small-batch maker Brickett Davda elevates the squiggle, rendered in pigments “inspired by the grey skies and sea of the British coast and countryside.” Shop now.
Anut Mr. and Mrs. Ra Tablecloth
Above: Doodles can be stitched, too. Suns, moons, and other ancient motifs are made modern in this cloth, embroidered by artisans in Cairo. Shop now.
Charlotte Serving Platter
Above: And we’re continually admiring the new ceramics by Emma Kohlmann for Hay, featuring the artist’s hand-painted motifs. Of the collection, Kohlmann says: “There’s nothing perfect about it, because it’s made by people.” Yes to that. Shop now.
