Design in the City: Home and Furniture

Pick 1- House of Henderson

House of Henderson is a mecca for serious style lovers and that laid-back luxury, bohemian aesthetic. Working closely with a handful of skilled artisans across Bali, they personally curate collections of furniture and home accessories that combine exquisite craftsmanship with modern designs and natural materials such as teak, rattan, bamboo and stone. From authentic Balinese day beds, to impressively over-sized floor standing vases, vibrant Suar wood tables, hand-carved four poster beds, Buddha statues and bamboo peacock chairs, everything they do is sensationally beautiful and one-of-a-kind. Because all of their furniture and homewares are handcrafted, each piece is individually unique by nature – so we recommended checking out the HoH Warehouse, a showroom-style space that is packed full of Bali’s easy tranquillity, rich organic lifestyle and eclectic vibes.

Good for: Finding a unique and high-quality bohemian piece.

Shop online here or you can contact them to see the pieces in person (contact@byhouseofhenderson.com)

Pick 2- Sichel Home

It’s hard to believe that this beautiful store had its humble origins as a hardware stand in Esch-sur-Alzette in 1873. It was later acquired by Julius Sichel & Co. and has evolved over many years into a carefully curated home and gifts shop.

They carry a variety of classy, on-trend designs from international brands, selling seasonal items, candles, pillows, diffusers, fancy teas, dish and serving ware, soaps, and towels. It’s a great place for gifts and remains a Luxembourg-based institution with three stores. The location in Howald is the largest and features an expansive furniture and lighting showroom and design consultations from professional interior designers.

Pick 3- Abitare

If you want to make a big statement in your home, Abitare in Dommeldange is a great option. You’ll see what we mean the moment you step into the front door. Life-size rainbow horse? Gargantuan Albert Einstein sticking-out-his-tongue bust? A women’s public restroom symbol imposed on a tall mirror? They’ve got you covered!

Beyond this unexpected entrance is a beautiful two-floor showroom with a variety of styles on display. Contemporary, eclectic, colourful, old Hollywood glam – there’s a lot to take in as you peruse each decorated space. They sell a wide array of large furniture (indoor and outdoor), art, textiles, decorations… this place is chock-full of unique pieces that we’re willing to bet nobody else is going to have.
