Ssense’s giant summer sale is underway, and its designer-heavy home section is worthy of as much attention as the site’s seemingly endless discounts on men’s and women’s fashion. There’s a ton of bold bedding from some of our favorite European brands like Tekla and Magniberg, if you’re looking to refresh your sheets. Or, if you want a nice accent piece or two for your kitchen, you can find a bunch of dainty glasses and colorful flatware from the likes of Sophie Lou Jacobsen and Sabre, to name just a couple. It can be overwhelming to scroll through Ssense’s impressive collection of items, so as the Strategist’s home writer, I’ve done most of the work for you to bring you the best deals. Below, my finds for your kitchen, bedroom, bath, and more — many of which the Strategist team can personally vouch for. I’ve grouped everything into categories for easier shopping.
Bedding and bath
Tekla makes some of my favorite bath towels. I love the deep navy blue of this set that includes bath, guest, and hand towels.
Enjoy the last few weeks of summer on this boldly striped beach towel.
This checkered towel from Baina is another personal favorite of mine.
I’ve been dying to check out this patchwork duvet cover from Stockholm-based textile company Magniberg that reminds me of men’s shirts.
Décor
This porcelain ashtray from Seth Rogan’s cannabis company doubles as a very attractive side table.
Here’s a handsome wool-and-cotton-blend twill cushion from Hay that’s stuffed with duck feathers.
I own a larger version of this in red and I can’t convey how delightful — and comfortable — it is. (My kids love undoing the knot and pretending it’s a snake, too.)
As “Ssense” as it gets: a meditation cushion from Marine Serre emblazoned with the designer’s signature moon print.
This smart, dimmable lamp from Soft-Geometry is hand-cast in resin and can be controlled by voice (via an app).
Kitchen and dining
A pepper grinder so sculptural you can leave it out on the table.
There are some lovely pieces from Paris-born, Lisbon-based ceramicist Laetitia Rouget on sale, including this hand-painted fruit platter.
One of our favorite flatware sets — from French company Sabre — is over 25 percent off.
We also love Mepra’s cutlery for its rounded, weighty handles.
I love the subtle gray bottoms and the fact these glasses stack for easy storage.
These coupes from Fazeek have striped stems that are quite celebratory.
Here’s a fun mirror with curves reminiscent of the Ultrafragola mirror.
This cracked-egg candle from Janie Korn is 70 percent off.
And a scented candle from centuries-old Italian company Ginori 1735.
This little coffee table from Danish brand Muuto is the perfect size for a coffee (or cocktail) and a book.
