#3000 Mirror

With mirror segments set into walnut wood, Brooklyn-based design duo Trueing’s #3000 Mirror invokes the style of terrazzo tiling for a distinct aesthetic that offers surprising visual warmth. The oiled walnut iteration is the second from the brand, with the first mirror primarily from honed concrete and marble, and they both follow Trueing’s extraordinary Janus Table Lamp. With the mirror alone as evidence, this is a brand to follow.

Lock Stock & Barrel 18 Year Straight Rye Whiskey

Two important details of Lock Stock & Barrel’s 18 Year Rye Whiskey battle each other to create a surprisingly smooth profile. First, the proof stands at a whopping 109. Second, its age—the aforementioned 18 years—actually tames that high ABV. In fact, aging in American oak barrels has lent the spirit a creamy vanilla warmth. There’s a bunch of rye spice here but it’s all in service to a tasty, uniform and wood-defined whiskey.

Kishi Bashi: Sonderlust

Still one of our favorite records from 2016, Kishi Bashi’s Sonderlust is beautifully uplifting despite its pathos. Deeply personal and yet universally relatable, the record features all the sparkle we’ve grown to expect and adore from the singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist—a tremendous blend of melancholy and joyful luminescence. And, with production help from Grizzly Bear’s Chris Taylor, this is one of Kishi Bashi’s best albums thus far.

Bullshit Candle

Despite its name, IIUVO and Stefan Brüggemann’s “Bullshit” candle smells divine. With notes of Sichuan pepper, grapefruit, lavender, musk, guaiac wood and more, the candle was inspired by the theory of bullshit.

If the new year has gotten off on the wrong foot and you’re already feeling overwhelmed, aromatherapy can make a difference in transforming your headspace. Vitruvi’s pre-blended essential oil bottles are slightly easier than mixing a bunch of separate ingredients yourself, and each blend has its own inspired mood or place.
