At this point in Amazon Prime Day, which is actually more like Amazon Prime Week since it spans from July 8–11 this year, I have secured plenty of deeply discounted Japanese chef knives and a pirate’s hoard of Dawn Powerwash on promo. Now I’m interested in smashing that order button on a designer vase that makes me feel like I have far more interesting things to say about art that I do, like this wavy Alvar Aalto vase that is hiding amongst the more pedestrian gems (think, spatulas and paper towel bundles) on sale for Prime Day.Â
There’s a surprising amount of stunning designer wares and high-end home goods on Amazon — you just have to know where to look. Did you know that you can find Diptyque candles in its labyrinthine halls, or D.S. & Durga hand wash, or Jonathan Adler tchotchkes? Maybe you didn’t before, but you will henceforth. (Shopping for clothes? Poke around enough and you’ll find luxury goods from Diesel, Staud, Coach, and even Miu Miu.)Â
In this case, your tomato-candle-obsessed Eater shopping team has done the digging for you, and emerged with a victorious, robust shrimp net of deals on mid-century modern Scandinavian homewares; cardamom-scented soaps designed to gently exfoliate the busy, garlic-smashing hands of passionate home cooks; and a doppelgänger for an Eames coat rack. Â
A sale on iconic graphic-print brand Marimekko
The Finnish design house was founded in 1949, and made a name for itself with its color-pop graphic prints inspired by poppies, stones, and Nordic archipelagos. Now, you can pick up goods from the chic brand on Amazon — and at Prime Day prices.
Jonathan Adler’s whimsical housewares are on Amazon now
Who needs to cultivate a personality when you own Jonathan Adler housewares? Standouts from the sales on the cheeky designer include everything from playful graphic dishes for spicy nuts during your cocktail party (so, when everyone comes over to watch Love Island) and circus tent-shaped jars to safeguard your stash of Swedish Fish. We’ll take all this, a bottle of Josh wine, and a RHONY marathon.Â
