While the Furniture category winners in this year’s Domino Good Design Awards might’ve first grabbed our attention for a nifty feature or exciting silhouette, we made sure they all have staying power against the relentless trend cycle as well as everyday use. Because foundational pieces should be one-and-done purchases (or at least one-and-done-for-the-foreseeable-future).
Best Statement Sofa: Marc Striped Sofa by Schoolhouse x Clare V.
Just when it felt like we’d never leave the greige couch era, Clare Vivier debuted her collaboration with Schoolhouse. Leave it to the fashion designer known for her signature stripes to make a couch covered in the pattern just as livable.
Best Coffee Table: Glow Coffee Table by Ziroru Studio
Put your feet up and turn the big light all the way down. This tubular coffee table has a glowy lamp built right into the glass top (the wire is stealthily threaded through the base).
Best Ottoman: Palma Poufs by Kusheda Mensah for Hem
The playful spirit that these cartoonish, palm leaf–esque poufs bring to a space is reason enough to buy one, but they also come in handy as bonus seating for guests.
Best Dining Chair: WS Chair by USM x Henry Julier
Folding chairs could never. The 90-degree back of Henry Julier’s steel and paper cord dining chair unlocks the previously unusable corners of your dining table, so you can squeeze in an extra place setting at Thanksgiving, no problem.
Best Small Storage: Facet Storage Cabinet by Hay
The barely-there integrated door is only the start of this cabinet’s utility. Its rimmed top can be removed (now it’s a tray!) and optional wheels transform the piece from side table to craft cart in an instant.
Best Large Storage: The Hearth Island by Riffmade
A soft sweep of curtains makes this hardworking kitchen island—butcher-block counter, Jenga-like interior shelving, spice rack on the side—feel more like a piece of furniture.
Best Office Chair: Morrison Hannah Task Armchair by Bruce Hannah & Andrew Morrison for Knoll
With its chunky buttons and twisty arms, this 1973 revival has still got its groove, but with new-and-improved cushion comfort and an ergonomic tilt fit for 2025’s screentime levels.
Best Bed: Montecito Queen Extended Headboard Bed With Lighting by Crate & Barrel x Brigette Romanek
Crate & Barrel x Brigette Romanek
Montecito Queen Extended Headboard Bed with Lighting
Yes, you can have all the best parts of a fancy hotel bed in the comfort of your own home. Think: a cushy, extra-wide headboard, inset reading lights (that swivel!), and luxe brass accents, just because.
Best Nightstand: Lager Bedside Table by Ferm Living
Like all floating nightstands, this aluminum one busts visual clutter by freeing up floor space. It’s the stealthy slot in the back that sets it apart, ensuring a tangle of cords doesn’t ruin the effect.
Best Kids’ Furniture: BedBED by Piccalio
Convertible cribs are standard issue these days. The problem is the transformation usually stops at toddler bed. Piccalio’s latest launch picks up where those leave off, going from Montessori-inspired floor bed to elevated big kid bed with a flip of the plywood frame.
