Local Bay Area Designers in The San Francisco Chronicle:  Modern Minimalism (Photo by Russell Yip for The San Francisco Chronicle)

Living in a place as creative and innovative as the Bay Area means that we have a heightened sensibility for what’s new and next, so this year we’re looking to the future. For the annual Style Gift Guide, we’ve chosen an array of design-driven presents that embody the idea of modern minimalism. Conceptual and sculptural, with clean lines and graphic impact, the pieces on these pages demand a second look. Beyond just looking good, many of these gifts function with purpose — using new materials; integrating technology into your everyday life; and supporting charitable causes. Welcome to next-level gifting. May this season of giving both inspire and impress.
