The Christmas season brings with it many opportunities to host parties and spend more time with close friends and family. We spoke to a buyer in charge of the Living Room on the 5th floor of the Isetan Shinjuku Main Building about home decor items that add color to your life during this season. "This is the time of year when we have items that showcase each brand's unique characteristics and unique worldview. Also, since it's gift-giving season, we have a lineup of vibrant Christmas collections," the buyer said. Baccarat, founded in 1764 in the Lorraine region of eastern France, has released the "Christmas Ornaments 2015" (Clear ¥18,000, Irises Clear ¥32,000; both come with an original pin brooch), featuring beautiful, translucent crystal glass. The graceful light filtering through the crystal glass is sure to add a touch of elegance to your Christmas scene. Wedgwood, known for its beautiful intricate designs, will also be offering "Holiday Ornaments" (4,500 yen each) with beautiful relief patterns of merry-go-rounds and cakes. The snow globe (9,000 yen) with pure white snow falling is inscribed "Merry Christmas" and makes a great Christmas gift. Richard Ginori, known for its commitment to Made in Italy products, will be releasing chic white porcelain ornaments (5,000 yen each) and annual plates (10,000 yen) featuring Italian historical sites. Along with Christmas ornaments, annual plates are also popular among collectors. Royal Copenhagen's annual plate (10,000 yen) features a beautiful shade of blue that captivates people around the world, while Herend's annual plate (10,000 yen) with its striking green design will be available on the same floor.
