Written by respected English music journalist Jon Savage, This searing light, the sun and everything else: Joy Division: The Oral History is essential reading for music fans.

This comprehensive and chronological account of the wildly influential post-punk band offers insights and stories never heard before.

Milan Nestarec

Fork & Knives White Wine (2017)

$36.00

From second-generation natural winemaker Milan Nestarec, Fork & Knives tastes surprisingly savory, with just enough crispness. Made from 100% Neuburger grapes (between a Roter Veltliner and Sylvaner) in the South Moravia region of the Czech Republic, the wine offers a touch of apricot at first, leading to plenty of salinity. Available at good wine stores.

Lewis Miller Design

Flower Flash Candle

$68.00

Floral designer Lewis Miller, perhaps best known for his inspiring “Flower Flashes” (guerilla-style art installations made from blooms), channels the joy of his creations into the Flower Flash Candle. Although made in France, Miller’s candle humorously nods to NYC trash cans with its patterned design and green-tinted glass. When lit, notes of jasmine and lily of the valley join grapefruit bark. A portion from the proceeds from sales will be donated to Crossroads Homeless Shelter at NYC’s St Bartholomew’s Church.

Bath Diamond

Bioluminescent Lavender Bath Bomb

$70.00

Given an otherworldly glow by the antioxidant Marine Luciferin (which happens to be worth five times more than gold), baths taken with Bath Diamond’s bioluminescent bombs replenish the skin, while providing the bather with a magical experience. The lab-synthesized bioluminescent protein that causes the glow has been removed through sterilization, ridding the bomb and its light crystals of bacteria, while ensuring the glow still activates. This lavender-scented iteration adds an element of aromatherapy to the list of benefits, which range from upping collagen production to smoothing the skin’s surface.

Moonrise Reed Diffuser

$26.00

This Moonrise reed diffuser set includes a custom-printed glass vessel, nine reeds, and the fragranced oil inside, which references the aroma of “late-night crowds, the lure of the dance floor” and “smoke and strange perfumes.” That scent—rich with notes of yuzu, Indian jasmine, and smoked cedar wood—disperses evenly throughout a room, leaving it subtly enveloped in the fragrance. Part of the limited edition Sunset Collection, this particular piece—an earthy green with minimalist black and gold art that depicts the moonrise—is inspired by spending the summer season in California.
