Jane Miller of J.E.M., a home accessories shop in Boston’s South End, suggested these miniature swallows by Anne Ricketts for the Boston Globe Holiday Gift Guide. Like many of the pieces she curates curates they’re modern in silhouette, yet reflect traditional artisan sensibilities in their making.

Today, one of the few days I’ve had any time recently, I ventured down to Boston’s Fort Point neighborhood to stop in at the new home furnishings shop and design studio, Twelve Chairs. The business is a collaborative effort from two 27-year-old interior designers who met at Cornell, Roisin and Miggy. Roisin, who’s from the area, worked at a commercial architecture firm and did a stint at Koo de Kir in Beacon Hill two learn the retail side of things. Miggy, who’s from New York, worked in operations for the Anthropologie in Rockefeller Center in New York City. The pair stock the sun-filled loft space with pieces from small artisans, with a focus on sustainable methods and materials. They also offer design services.
