In honor of our annual Art Issue, we’ve curated a collection of art for the home that doubles as functional decor. From brass-clouds-turned-tabletops to glossy ceramic nesting bowls, these pieces are a design (and art) lover’s dream.
BEWITCHINGLY BEJEWELED
While you can certainly hang art on your wall, consider turning the wall itself into a piece of art, with a jewel-dotted mosaic. This hand-chopped stone mosaic from New Ravenna is made to measure and includes over 20 types of tumbled stone.

ALMOND JOY
Artist Hanako Nakazato splits their time between Maine and Japan, a gorgeous geographical union from which these layered, almond-shaped nesting bowls emerged.
