Christmas Wishlist
Interior Designer and Lifestyle Blogger Dominique Alexandra Forsström is founder of Alexandra Studio, a platform created to share passion for interior design and all things beautiful. From iconic luggage trunks to delicate home accessories.
1. GIAMBATTISTA VALLI BOOK
Books are certainly one of my favourite gifts no matter the occasion, and whenever it’s a coffee table book it makes me all the happier as I love growing and curating my personal collection over time. Fashion, travel, design and architecture are my favourite themed books to scatter around the home! This Giambattista Valli book offers a behind the scenes glimpse into the world of one of the most unique fashion designers working today, with images of his design process and backstage views of runway shows. It’s also great for placing perched up on a shelf or laying on a coffee table, as the colours can easily complement any space and tie in accent colours of decorative cushions and accessories in soft blue and beige hues!
2. VANITY UNIT
Inspired by a sensitive, modern woman, I fell in love with this delicate vanity table when it was presented at the Design Room in Marbella Club Hotel. I especially enjoy how you can customize the materials, varying between Gold Calacatta, Sahara Noir and Emperador marble for the shelf, with a soft walnut wood structure. www.nomonhome.com
3. TOWER ELECTRIC SALT & PEPPER SET
This stunning white marble and rose gold salt and pepper mill set is on my wishlist this year, as seasoning dishes at the touch of a button makes cooking all the more enjoyable! Suitable for all types of herbs and spices, the LED light on the base illuminates when in use to provide a more accurate placing of the seasoning - how fun!

4. ONE OF ONE LUXURY LOUNGE SET
This past month I had the fantastic opportunity to work with luxury loungewear brand One of One, shooting the latest collection on board of a stunning yacht on the Mediterranean. Some of my favourite items from the collection were this half zip top with long sleeves and matching shorts in a beautiful warm Camel tone. The fabric’s softness and breathability kept me comfortable throughout the whole day! I imagine using this two piece set during my travels and also at home, as its versatility and chic design makes it a perfect match for different kinds of purposes. I can’t wait to get my hands on the other colours of olive green and black!

5. BEAUTIFUL DESTINATIONS
I love discovering beautiful destinations around the world that represent amazing interior design and architecture! I recently came across this late 1920’s classicist villa in Australia, redesigned by Luigi Roselli Architects. It had me dreaming of Australia and other destinations I’d love to visit soon. Where’s on your travel wishlist?!

7. AESOP BODY BALM
While attending the Milan Design Week this year, I made a visit to the Aesop store on Via Meravigli and picked up a large bottle of the Body Balm in Tangerine, Vanille and Sandalwood essence. Ever since, I’ve used it everyday and am obsessed with the scent and how soft it leaves my skin! I can’t wait to get a smaller format hand cream to take with me everywhere during these colder months! www.aesop.com
8 RIMOWA TRUNK
This holiday season I’m dreaming not only of travel, but also of this Rimowa Trunk in a titanium finish. Regarded as one of the most iconic luggage designs of all time, this suitcase is a timeless classic engineered to offer long lasting performance and optimum capacity for journeys of up to 2 weeks. www.rimowa.com
