Mother’s Day 2023: Quiet luxury gifts for the home

Elegant Mother’s Day gifts crafted from the finest materials with timeless appeal

Mother's Day is a perfect occasion to spoil your mom, and nothing says "I appreciate you" than a thoughtful gift that she will cherish. So if you're looking for something extra special this year, consider a gift embodying quiet luxury. This trend, which emphasises quality craftsmanship and timeless design, is not just for fashion but also for homeware.

For generations, heritage brands like Georg Jensen and Spode have created elegant homeware items. Their classic designs are as relevant today as when they were first introduced. From a stunning jug to a delicate porcelain tea service, these pieces exude sophistication and refinement, and are sure to impress even the most discerning of moms.

But quiet luxury is not just a trend—it's a way of life that encourages us to consume mindfully and invest in pieces built to last. By choosing high quality, timeless homeware items, we can create an elevated and sophisticated space and that holds sentimental value for years to come.

Here are six gifts that embody the spirit of quiet luxury and will continue to bring joy and beauty to any home.

Aves, a minimalist bird sculpture, was designed by Dutch architect and artist Co Derr who was fascinated with capturing the essential shape of a bird, spending his entire career simplifying the form of Aves.

Made from solid brass and specially treated to prevent oxidation by Architectmade, Aves is a testament to the Danish company's dedication to producing timeless and high quality designs that are both beautiful and functional since its inception in 2004.
