Phone Tatami Mat

At a recent sushi dinner in Tokyo we were presented with a rectangular tatami mat. It was both a thoughtful gesture and a moment to put our phones screen-side down and focus on our meal. Founded in 1740,  Kuboki Tatami makes a full range of tatami products and clearly isn’t stuck in its past, continuing to bring tatami to the way people live. The phone mat comes in nearly 40 different colors and patterns and is now part of our everyday carry—with both a physical purpose (keeping your phone germ and dirt free) as well as a note to slow down and enjoy a meal with presence.

Z5IIC Camera

The “C” in the new Nikon Z5IIC stands for “casual” and incorporates scene modes for the first time in any Nikon full-frame camera. Toggle the camera to a scene and the camera does the rest—night, portrait or any of its 15 modes. Unlike a typical point-and-shoot this is a full-frame mirrorless camera with a 24.5 C-MOS sensor and the depth and clarity provided by the EXPEED 7 image processing engine – the same processor used on the brand’s flagship Z9. The biggest bonus is access to Nikon’s massive lens library, from current Z-series to historic F lenses back to 1967. Price is for the body only, multiple options are available with various lenses and accessories.

The Disappearers

Though we typically read the books we recommend the urgency to celebrate the release of Marlon James’ The Disappearers feels more important than our ability to complete it in a timely manner. The recipient of many awards including the American Book Award and The Booker Prize (for A Brief History of Seven Killings), The Disappearers is one of the dozen books shortlisted for this year’s Booker Prize.

The book is a journey with pop culture and music as its muses, about Jamaican homophobia, sex, violence, colonialism, AIDS, domination, submission and life in the margins, told by several of its characters. The reviews, unanimous in their praise for the book, speak to it better than we could:

“This Masterpiece Is the Novel of the Decade, if Not the Century” (The New York Times)

“The unrelentingly raw and profane vision is enlivened by the energy of the writing, and in particular its infusions of Jamaican slang. Mr. James does not simply reproduce the island’s singular patois; he uses it to create abrasive auditory rhythms.” (Wall Streeet Journal)

“…this polyphonic 640-page doorstopper is an emotionally bruising narrative that roves “uptown, downtown, ghetto and gully” through Aids-era Kingston with sidetrack excursions to 1950s England and a closing leap to 2000s United States.” (The Guardian)

“The Disappearers ends up as a violence-driven protest, a scream of rage—like Nirvana’s final album—against a world that keeps trying to kill people like him and then pretends that they asked for it, or that they never existed.” (The Atlantic)

Non-Alcoholic Beer (12 cans)

Crazy Mountain is a new non-alcoholic beer brewed that way (thanks to a proprietary yeast) instead of brewing and removing the alcohol, which uses electricity and can change the taste. Made by the team behind Casamigos (George Clooney, Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman) who know a thing or two about creating new brands in the beverage space, it’s certainly not the first but it is one of the better tasting. Available in original and lime flavors, it’s a recommended addition to your NA line up. Price is for two six packs (you can mix the two flavors if you like). Also available in retail and delivery outlets.

Smoky Paloma incense comes in cigarette pack boxes and the incense sticks resemble cigarettes, so it looks like a smoking cigarette is in your ashtray, not a stick of incense.

Matching matches are included, and other accessories are available.

Demi Automatic Espresso Machine

Whenever we book a vacation rental, the topic of conversation inevitably leads to “what’s the coffee situation?” Nine times out of 10, the house ends up having a sub-par pod device that simply doesn’t meet our standards. On a recent road trip to Cape Cod, we decided to bring the Terra Kaffe Demi—a compact, easy-to-use coffee maker that we’ve been loving at home—and it honestly improved our whole holiday experience. With a touch of a button it brews espresso, lungo, Americano, drip coffee and even hot water for the tea drinkers. To take things to the next level, try adding the Aero to your setup for hot frothed milk, cold foam and perfectly whisked matcha.

Magnetron Carabiner

Most classic locking climbing carabiners have two innate design flaws. The gate closes against a hooked beak that tends to catch the rope. And, typically, you have to thread them shut, too. Black Diamond’s latest Magnetron is better. As its name suggests, it uses magnets both at the hookless nose and for the sliders on either side of the gate, and there’s no hook. Instead, the magnets instantly fasten the lock shut, requiring no secondary action. That saves you energy during a taxing climb. Another bonus: the Magnetron is made of 25% pre-consumer recycled aluminum, so manufacturing them burns less carbon.

Ferrari Design: Creative Journeys

Many people aren’t aware that Ferrari did not have an in-house design department until 2010, and that the first car entirely designed by its Centro Stile is the 2013 LaFerrari. In 2010 Flavio Manzoni joined the company to create the department, encompassing interior, exterior and color and trim designers, modelers and others. They didn’t have a design studio until they designed their own sate-of-the-art building and could finally all sit together. Since then the Centro Stile has designed and presented more than 70 models, more than most other manufacturers over a 16 year period. Ferrari Design: Creative Journeys shares the design journey of  fifteen of these cars, the most iconic and significant in Manzoni’s (and most fans’s) opinion. Its full of sketches, photographs and the stories of and behind the design. You don’t have to be a die-hard Ferrarista to appreciate the company’s impressive design journey. By John Elkann (Preface), Daniela Calamia (Contributor), Enrico Leonardo Fagone (Contributor), Flavio Manzoni (Contributor) and Benedetto Vigna (Contributor).
