It’s that time again: Ssense’s big sale is in full swing, and thousands of designer items are discounted, including a bunch of goods for the home. Some of our favorite European design brands are on sale, including Tekla, Sabre, Flos, and Alessi, just to name a few, so if you’ve been waiting to refresh your towels, get new flatware, or invest in a lamp, now’s your chance. There’s a lot to wade through, but as Strategist’s resident home writer, I’ve clicked through dozens of pages to bring you the best deals — including on many of our best-in-class picks. I’ve organized them into categories to help you navigate more easily.
Bedding and towels
This three-piece bundle from Tekla, one of my personal favorites for sophisticated striped towels, is already cheaper by $10 if you buy each one separately, but an additional 25 percent off brings the price down even further. It includes a bath, hand, and guest towel.
Tekla’s colors are always very much on point, and I love this pink bath mat as a fun bathroom accent.
And a boldly striped beach towel to take with you on your summer escapades.
No one does a checkered pattern quite like Baina.
I also love the raised pattern of this bath towel from the Australia-based brand.
Here’s a fun patchwork duvet cover from Stockholm-based textile company Magniberg.
This color-blocked blanket from Vitra is knit from Peruvian highland virgin wool.
These pillow-sham covers from Dusen Dusen have a cool quilt-y feel to them.
Décor
And this striped number would look great on a couch or accent chair.
The black piping around the edge of this cushion from Hay is a nice touch and would look great on a Mags sofa.
This New Zealand wool area rug from Muuto measures around 4.6 by 2.6 feet and would make a nice spot for a bedside, desk, or entryway.
Here’s a child-size version of Verner Panton’s iconic molded plastic chair.
This very sleek trash can would work great in the bathroom.
Lighting
This lamp from Audo (f.k.a. Menu), which makes some of our favorite tabletop lighting, is conveniently rechargeable and therefore portable.
This lamp from designer Virginia Sin is set on a handcrafted ceramic base.
Here’s a mushroom-shaped lamp from Tom Dixon in reflective copper-plated stainless steel. It’s also dimmable.
Dining and tabletop
Replace all your glasses with this lovely set of blue tumblers from Ichendorf Milano.
I love these glasses from Hudson Wilder, and not only because they stack for easy storage.
Now’s your chance to get your hands on the iconic, Michael Graves–designed kettle from Alessi for a discount.
This is actually the flatware set I personally use at home. Designed by Achille Castiglioni for Alessi, it includes six sets of four pieces: Dinner knife, fork, and spoon, plus coffee spoon.
Mepra is another Italian maker whose cutlery we love.
French company Sabre’s acrylic-handled flatware is also some of our favorites.
These stoneware bowls from French heritage brand Jars Céramistes are made in the south of France.
Fredericks and Mae’s viral cutting board is also on sale and doubles as a stylish serving tray.
Upgrade your water jug with Sophie Lou Jacobsen’s squiggly pitcher.
Imagine how cute this scalloped bar of soap would look next to your kitchen sink.
You can nab this malachite-green espresso cup from Ginori 1735, the nearly three-centuries-old Tuscany-based porcelain-maker.
