Leisure Time
The furniture equivalent of a luxurious velvet track suit, Gus Modern’s Nexus modular seating (starting from $1,365) is based around a single chair and chaise that can be combined into sofas or sectionals. Available in four fabrics, including this gorgeous shade of spruce. cfinteriors.ca
Out of This World

Global Effort
Designed in New Zealand and ethically made in India, Nodi rugs (doormats from $220; larger sizes from $1,560 to $4,320) are made from braided jute and wool, imparting a modern, textured materiality to interior spaces. providehome.com
Details, Details
Ligne Roset’s Ura mirrors (small, 22-inch diameter, $698; large, 30-inch diameter, $1,100) are a study in subtle craftsmanship, with edges finished in red-black or yellow-gold lacquer. livingspace.com

To mark the occasion of its 75th anniversary, Ikea has released a collection inspired by old favourites, such as the shapely Råane armchair ($49.99), a nod to a 1983 design. ikea.ca
Fireside Companion
Nest’s Hearth reed diffuser ($66) is the scent of wood fire, combining oud wood with frankincense and hints of smoky embers. nordstrom.com
