This sweet peach-colored candle depicts the most wholesome image its name could possibly conjure up. Maria Candanoza crafted two young women locking lips and wearing what look like school uniforms, yet there’s innocence to it all. The prettiness of the piece almost makes one not want to light it, but its mesmerizing way of melting makes it worthwhile.

Inspired by ’70s decor, DwellStudio’s Farrah Dining Chair pairs a cantilever base with a lush rounded seat and concave back rest. The antique gold finish hails from applied gold leaf and, while the leather is rich, it’s actually faux. Altogether, the 30lb piece feels substantial and luxe but distinct, lending personality to any room.

To be worn as a headscarf, neckerchief, pocket square or any other way you can think of, In God We Trust’s F U bandana is sassy, but subtle. Only when you get up close to the 100% cotton bandana can you see that its design reads “Fuck You” over and over. Measuring 22 inches by 22 inches, it’s a subversively fun accessory and is available in white or navy.

When one tabletop surface isn’t enough to showcase all of your favorite art books (and miscellaneous trinkets), French design company Harto’s Anatole side table gets the job done. With two-tiers, it’s also twice the wooden warmth, contrasting beautifully against the curving metal structure; the trays are made from oak-veneered MDF. If you love it, there’s also a bigger Eugenie Coffee Table of the same design. (Price is in GBP.)

New York-based artist Julia Pott draws, in her words, “aggressively cute” illustrations and her greeting cards are no exception. If being brutality honest is your vibe, Pott’s oddly sweet “I didn’t miss you but I’m glad you’re back” card (which is blank inside) might be for you. Perhaps only to be used on rare occasions by a niche group, it’s a card that we certainly could have sent a few times in our lives.

Dyed a lush forest green and accented with a bright red paracord, Topo Designs and Westerlind’s collaboration ranger hat is a delightful take on a classic. Made from wool felt, it takes wearers from winter through to spring and comes in three sizes—though it boasts just enough flex to shape without becoming rumpled.

Made in Japan, this charming Gatcha Gatcha bingo set comes complete with a drawstring bag, 50 wooden balls and 30 score sheets. Made for adults and kids (old enough not to swallow the pieces), it’s a classic game in a modern form—and looks delightfully similar to a gumball machine.

While top-shelf tequila might not be the first thing that comes to mind for a dessert pairing, when it’s infused into pure South American deep dark chocolate by LA’s Compartes Chocolatiers, the resulting truffles make for an absolute delight. These limited edition chocolates, made with Reserva de la Familia extra añejo, deliver richness at the forefront but linger through a complex, almost-spiced finish.

When Australian label Du Zen! launched, their Baxter backpack quickly became one of our staple accessories. The bag can be worn in various different ways and goes from the office to a night out seamlessly, so we were extra happy to see the brand release a classic black leather version (pastel purple isn’t for everyone). Made from soft, natural leather, the Baxter boasts brass metal hardware and an internal pocket that keeps all your valuables safe. Price is in AUD.

For anyone who likes to give their whiskey a little swirl before sipping, the Sagaform rounded base whiskey tumbler (which comes in a set of six) makes it all the easier. A central raised point on the glass bottom means it doesn’t rest flat, but always angles off into one direction. It’s an uncommon attribute that offers up a bit of playful functionality.

A happy combination of two of our favorite makers, the James Joyce + Baggu reusable bag takes the UK-based graphic artist’s high-gloss painting—”Here For A Good Time, Not A Long Time”—and adheres it to Emily Sugihara’s ever-functional ripstop shopper. Made specially for Joyce’s “100 Likes” exhibition at Colette. Price is in Euros.

Designed to resemble a fly crawling across the wall, Yenwen Tseng’s “Fly on The Wall” clock might not sound super-appealing in words, but the minimal piece is—in reality—curious and eye-catching. Made in Japan, the clock’s oversized hands move in orchestra; the fly is never still.

Designed by London-based brand Objest, the Hach watch features a numberless dial that’s anything but boring. Its minimal face is jazzed up by a maze-like geometric pattern that’s subtle, but a little mesmerizing. Built from 316L stainless steel, the Swiss-made watch also comes in a range of finishes (including Diamond Like Carbon) and colorways.

With Sleepy Jones’ Henry Pajama shirt, there’s no need to change before heading out to grab a morning cup of coffee. The comfy lounge shirt is cut from a fine cotton fabric and comes with contrast piping, French seams, button cuffs and a chest pocket, so it looks just as good under the covers as it does under a jacket. Matching pajama pants are sold separately.

The mushroom-shaped Ambienta lamp has two settings (grow light and ambient light) and, like a paint palette, has compartments for six plants. Seagreenlife’s soil-free plants grow on water, nutrients and a hydroponic growth medium located at the base of the lamp; simply pour water through the top hole when needed. Not only does the lamp feel alive, it allows you to have plants away from the window. It should especially brighten up those dismal bedrooms, basements or other closed-off spaces that don’t have a portal to the outside world. They’d also look pretty sweet in dimly lit bars.

Melbourne-based label Verner jazzes up the classic bomber with its gray marl jacket. With an all-over wood grain pattern and a tongue-in-cheek take on its own name—with “This is veneer” printed along the cuffs, hem and neckline—it’s a playful take on an item that can sometimes be anything but. The jacket is made from a soft blend of linen and cotton and also comes fully lined.

Our favorite is the Deauville House, which is built from eco-friendly wood and held together by super-strong magnets, allowing for a quick and tool-free assembly. Cut-outs let pets peep into the outside world while a polyester cushion provides a comfy bed for them to snooze on.
