Monica Khemsurov and Jill Singer of Sight Unseen Reveal the 8 Things They Can’t Live Without
While they may not be household names, Jill Singer and Monica Khemsurov may have together shaped our design tastes even more so than the bold-faced talents they continue to cover and uncover. Their platform, Sight Unseen, started out as a blog and has evolved into a hybrid trend incubator–cum–north star for the collectible design industry, spotlighting emerging makers and teasing out the stories behind some of the most viral decor, be it wavy mirrors or shell objets. In lieu of their annual Sight Unseen Offsite activation (which helped launch the likes of Eny Lee Parker, Katie Stout, and Ben and Aja Blanc), this year Singer and Khemsurov have collaborated with the Long Island furniture brand Bestcase to introduce their first furniture collection, available now on their 1stDibs storefront. We caught up with the cofounders to chat about their new pieces, as well as what continues to inspire and delight them.

1) Magna Chair
This is one of Charles Constantine’s original designs for our new line. It’s like a little bowl that scoops you up.

2) Oracle Olive Oil
The matte blue of this bottle is straight out of a Dutch painting. It looks very sophisticated on your counter.

3) Butterfly Lamp
The top of this vintage Flos lamp feels pretty and delicate, which is a neat contrast with the metal base.
Pamono & Marco Cappello Vintage & Design - 5/9
4) Villa Stenersen
House museums (this one’s in Oslo) give you ideas that you wouldn’t necessarily come across on Instagram.

5) Ormaie Fragrances
It sucks to fall for branding, but Ormaie is not just a beautiful bottle; Les Brumes is truly that good.
La Maison Ormaie - 7/9
6) Tetra Ashtray
This hand-sculpted glass ashtray could also work to hold your keys. It’s really a catchall.

7) Casa Shop
They always stock the perfect expression of whatever is trending, and it’s generally affordable.

8) Volumetric Segment Desk
A work table that’s chunky or sculptural in one solid color is nice, because it can fit well into any interior.
