I’ll admit it: I have a habit of going overboard with Christmas gifts. I end up buying friends and family a bunch of fun little things…that they never really use. So this year, I’m getting everyone one really good gift that’s also practical. 

One of my first stops will definitely be Insta-famous product designer Gustaf Westman’s Brooklyn pop-up, which will run from Thursday, October 10, to Sunday, October 13, at 25 Fillmore Place.

The space is set up almost like a mini museum: Items are displayed on pedestals, there are descriptive labels next to each object, and you can even throw on some headphones to listen to a guided tour—narrated by Gustaf himself, who will also be at the store most of the weekend.

Psst: Keep your eyes peeled for two new pieces (a jug and a shelf) as well as a teaser of a brand collaboration Gustaf is dropping in November. “If you only go to the exhibition part, I love that. It’s fine. I just want to meet the people,” he shares.

Of course, there’s also a shop, and it’ll be stocked with items that have long been sold out on his website. This includes his Chunky wineglasses and their new Chunky beer glass counterparts (I’ll be scooping up some for my IPA-obsessed brother), as well as the Spikey cup

Ahead of the opening, I caught up with Gustaf for Domino’s Home Front newsletter to hear what’s inspiring him lately. Here’s a sneak peek of what he had to share. —Lydia Geisel, home editor

Why I love it: Don’t get me wrong, I think that quality and craftsmanship are the most important parts of the furniture industry. But to attract a younger generation, we need to adapt to a different tempo. When it comes to my own designs, I try to make them stand out but still be very simple. Take my curvy sideboard: It has my typical style but it’s sold to all types of homes (eclectic and colorful spaces as well as more luxe places). I hope more big companies join in and let their guard down a bit; it would be fun to see! 

Three ways I’d bring the look home:

  • Books everywhere! Put them in unexpected places, like in a pile on a chair.
  • Lots of colorful blankets as bedding. I love this one from Svenskt Tenn (a Swedish classic), and it feels like…
