We have a weakness for thoughtfully designed domestic goods. And HAY, a Danish design company founded in 2002, is particularly adept at supplying them. Happily, the brand launched an e-commerce site for American customers this winter. Bonus points: everything is currently 15 percent off. Here are some stylish HAY household essentials we’re eyeing (prices reflect the discount):

Located in Copenhagen, “The house was very basic and quite minimalistic,” says Johanne. “The floors are the old wooden floors from 1927; [there was a] newly renovated bathroom with beautiful Jura Grau marble tiles, which was just how we like it. All rooms plain, painted white, so it was quite easy for us to make it our own and give it a touch of us. It was in great condition, actually; not much to fix except for the fun aesthetic things.”](https://www.remodelista.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
