In recent years, many things have changed about love: rituals, languages, modes. A more careful and inclusive narrative has brought out new protagonists and new kinds of relationships. But if the forms of love are infinite, those of design are infinite plus one.

Design has always had a close relationship with love. Sometimes it tells it explicitly, as when Ettore Sottsass imagined rooms designed for the freedom of bodies and feelings. Other times he hides it in the details, as in the many objects that designers have dedicated to partners, muses, or everyday loves: small design gestures that turn an object into a silent declaration. As Silvana Annicchiarico recounted in Domus, Italian design is full of stories in which affection and design intertwine, from Lina Cavalieri's faces reinvented by Fornasetti to objects that have become icons thanks to personal and sentimental ties.

It is not just a matter of forms or symbols: often the link between design and feeling is real, lived. Just think of the homage that Massimo Vignelli dedicated to his Lella, published in Domus, where the story of a couple becomes part of the history of design. And today, as also recounted on Domus, design has also become an everyday language, pop, able to enter everyday life and tell identities, tastes and relationships.

Design observes love, interprets it, sometimes ironically, accompanying its transformations without merely representing them. It questions it, rethinks it, translates it into objects, spaces and gestures. And it often lives it directly, in the stories in which affection and design intertwine, shaping shared visions.

Alongside symbols that have stood the test of time, the objects we give, and give ourselves, have also evolved, moving far beyond the shape of a heart, the scent of flowers, or the taste of chocolate. Today, a gift can be ironic, practical, poetic, or unexpected, speaking about love in less predictable, but perhaps more authentic, ways.

This year, to celebrate love, Domus team has selected 10 items that could be the perfect gift for Valentine's Day (and that can be bought on Amazon).

Not a heart-shaped vase, but really a vase-heart. Designed by Marcantonio for Seletti, Love in Bloom transforms the anatomy of the organ symbolizing love into a poetic and surreal object designed to hold cut flowers. Thus each bouquet becomes an ironic and pop gesture.

You don't need a lover to listen to a love song, but a good walkman always helps. The Walkman A300 brings back the pleasure of personal listening in a compact, contemporary form. For those who love to get lost in music, anywhere, with or without shared headphones.

A bouquet that never wilts and asks for no care except a little time to share. Lotus flowers Lego turn the act of gift-giving into a game to be built together. For those who love the idea that love is also patience, care and fun.

For those who want to discover themselves or their partner...all the way. An object to devote to pleasure, because love is also made of exploration, complicity and a pinch of self-mockery.
