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.

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.
