Thomas Hirschhorn & Gems and Ladders: Ideological Jewelry​
If anything’s been made clear in 2015 it’s that broadcasting one’s beliefs and loyalties is of the utmost importance. These Thomas Hirschorn-designed birch wood and leather necklaces put your ideological leanings on blast. Each one is engraved with a different phrase, from “LOVE PHILOSOPHY POLITICS AESTHETIC” to “ENERGY: YES! QUALITY: NO!” Subtlety is very 2014; this holiday season is all about direct address. $450




​MOCA T-shirt
Rep MOCA on the go with a super simple, tasteful t-shirt bearing our Chermayeff & Geismar designed logo. Sure, founded in the 80s, we’re a postmodern museum through and through, but when it comes to sartorial decisions the old modernist adage stands: sometimes less really is more. $20





Catherine Opie: 700 Nimes Road Book
In 700 Nimes Road Catherine Opie looks deep into an icon, the late Elizabeth Taylor–it’s a portrait of a star through her possessions and surroundings. The book is a perfect gift for any photography lover, or old Hollywood aficionado. Featuring essays from Hilton Als, Tim Mendelson, and the late Ingrid Sischy, it’s the perfect way to study up for the 700 Nimes Road exhibition opening at MOCA at the Pacific Design Center at the end of January. $60





​Jack Pierson Pillow
​Art is life and life is art when your living room is adorned with the work of legendary artist Jack Pierson. $325




​Third Eye Vessel
Chen Chen & Kai Williams are known for their offbeat, minimalist designs.  These “small vessels” look great on a coffee table, countertop, bookshelf and are useful for holding things including, but not limited to; a potted plant, keys, money, business cards, and if you’re truly inventive, a series of sequentially smaller “vessels.” $420




Mickalene Thomas: Lena Blanket
Sure, the ice caps are melting, but it’s still bound to be frigid this holiday season. We recommend you stay cozy with Mickalene Thomas’ Pendelton blanket produced in limited quantities with Artware. A 1200 dollar blanket might be a splurge, but think of it as a doubly beneficial investment–upping your home decor game and art collection in one fell swoop. $1200




​3Doodler Pen
Not quite in need of a serious 3D printing set-up but still want to dabble? 3D printers cost a pretty penny, but the 3doodler pen gets you there on a budget. Render doodles in three-dimensions; a great gift for any art + tech head/hobbyist. ​$99




​MOCA To-go Mug
You drink beverages. You need something to put those beverages in. You need to look like an aesthete while drinking the previously referenced beverages. We have a solution–this sleek, minimalist MOCA mug. ​$35
