American Heirlooms: Classic Crowd-Pleasers for Anyone on Your List, from Schoolhouse

November 11, 2019

Behold: well-made, usable gifts for everyone—that even the most design-forward on your list are unlikely to have.

When it comes to classic hardware and lighting, we look to Schoolhouse, the Portland, Oregon-founded purveyors of new American heirlooms. But their wares extend well beyond light fixtures and fittings. Out of a more than century-old brick factory in Portland, they design original, one-of-a-kind housewares and essentials for the home with a timeless, durable, subtly old-school vibe that fit with every sort and style of decor.

Here are a few Schoolhouse icons we’re gifting this year.

the newly released amber glass mug (\$\24 each) is made of heat resistant glass 18

the brass incense set (\$38), made in japan and the us and exclusive to schoolh 19

schoolhouse&#8\2\17;s winter + summer cotton coverlet (\$\149) is the gift 20
Above: Schoolhouse’s Winter + Summer Cotton Coverlet ($149) is the gift that keeps giving year-round: Inspired by a vintage weaving from the early 1800s and made in Portugal, it’s lightweight enough for summer and layers atop the bed for extra warmth in winter.
for the cook who has everything: a spanish oil pitcher (\$44), made in spain of 21

Made in the Portland factory, it would make a charming addition to a side table or desk.
schoolhouse&#8\2\17;s flip clock (\$99)—made by a flip clock manufacturer 24
Above: Schoolhouse’s Flip Clock ($99)—made by a flip clock manufacturer in business since the ’50s and fitted with German movements—looks better on the bedside than a phone.
at last, a useful and design forward gift for your boss: a stendig calendar (\$ 25
Above: At last, a useful and design-forward gift for your boss: a Stendig Calendar ($40), designed by Massimo Vignelli in 1966, still graphically good-looking today.

For more household wares and gifts for everyone on your list, head to Schoolhouse.
