Massimo, owner of a design lighting gallery and his Swedish girlfriend Ingrid, a fashion buyer - live in the heart of Milan, Italy. Massimo brings his passion for all things bright and shiny and Ingrid adds her creative input in the form of geometry and simplistic Scandinavian shapes and forms.

They are the young social power couple of Milano. The duo are known far and wide for their debaucherous parties in Massimo’s colossal old apartment, which has been in his family for generations and for their incessant spending on forward thinking and finely crafted objects and clothing. Massimo, the life of the party loves everything in excess; whether that be a night of wine and smoking or in indulging himself and his Swedish Principessa in handblown glass chandeliers and sculptural goodies from Marni.

Oh yes, and did we mention their love of fabulous lamps, brass and Le Corbusier? Known throughout all of the design social circles as the couple who sets the trends among them all, we’re pleased to have gotten a glimpse at their Christmas list this year.

Have a look at what this fun loving Italian power couple have on their gift wish list.

The two strong passions that Samantha and Lotte have in common is for an undying thirst for adventure and technology. Lotte makes concessions for Samantha as long as camping turns into ‘Glamping’ and 8 hour hikes and excursions are followed up by a night under 800 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets and morning facials at the spa. 

See what these wild girls want to share and where they want to go for the holidays this season as we got a glimpse of their Holiday wish lists!

Hiroto, a still life photographer from Kyoto, is not a huge fan of colors. He thinks that man can not compete with the vast plethora of hues that nature creates. His favourite textures come from stone, wood and concrete - loving to adorn his home and studio in cedar and marble.

Have a glimpe at the holiday gift guide Aoi, his first assistant, has put together for Hiroto... including a few pieces of clothing she hopes he is generous enough to gift her with this year!

An aloof, humorous, dare I say, charming American girl who prefers to discuss politics with the boys than shop with the girls, still has a sultry and feminine side. She spends her time between her Design Furniture Magazine and hours pampering in the bathtub and watching Netflix Serial Killer documentaries. 

Let's see what this Yankee Comtesse wants her loyal subjects to gift her during her month long Hannukkah and Christmas festivities.
