With menthol, peppermint and tea tree providing tingling and cooling sensations, rosemary acts as an anti-inflammatory and other ingredients promote relaxation, and blood flow.

Conceptualized by the team behind Y7, WAVE aims to make meditation more accessible. The WAVE Kit comes with a bolster (essentially a body pillow), headphones, a stand and a 30-day free trial of their streaming service—it’s $9.99 a month after the trial period ends. Original songs, voiceover tracks and ambient noise comprise the library and each lasts no longer than 15 minutes. Simply queue up a track, rest your body on the pillow, and listen along as an instructor dictates your breathing and vibrations (coming from the bolster) ease the body and emphasize moments of silence. WAVE demands your full attention and retains it long enough to pull you away from IRL demands.
Available for pre-order now, a special four-vinyl edition of N*E*R*D’s seminal debut record In Search Of… features the US “rock version” and the European “electronic version”—each in their own two-LP gate-fold jacket. The 2001 album saw N*E*R*D (at the time Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo and Shay Haley) catapult to international acclaim, thanks to their melding of countless genres (from funk to rock, hip-hop and beyond) and flawless production. Though some 20 years old now, the album—named for the Leonard Nimoy-hosted TV show, an ode to the band’s collective Star Trek obsession—remains infectious, polished and ahead of its time.
Available in three color combinations (pink/smoky blue, green/blue or red/blue), this reversible glass vase—designed by Tara Ashe—is both versatile and pretty.

In a limited edition run of 50, Guy Overfelt has created near-exact replicas of Picasso’s ceramic work from the 1950s—and made them functioning bongs. This one, dubbed “Picasso,” was made in Jingdezhen in southern China—a region known for its porcelain production. Whether used as a bong, displayed as an objet d’art, or even a vase, it’s a playful take on an artwork originally made by a man notorious for having very little sense of humor.

While “fragrance free,” Faith in Nature’s hand soap has a very faint, pleasant scent from its seaweed-base.

It produces a rich lather and leaves skin feeling clean, but soft and nourished. Price is in Pounds.
Shepherd Tartan uppers—crafted from premium Scottish wool—pair with a classic waffle sole in the second collaboration between NYC’s Noah and SoCal’s Vans.

Altogether, they’re a successful representation of both brands involved.
Crafted from 80% recycled cotton and 20% polyester, DittoHouse’s New Day throw blanket promotes a positive message, and made in the USA from sustainable fibers.

The brilliance of Italian modernist artist and furniture designer Enzo Mari’s calendar (which he created in 1966) lies in its limitlessness. The user simply flips the adjustable arm to reflect the right day, month and year combination. Designed by Enzo Mari for Danese Milano, the calendar reflects the era within which it was launched and makes a glorious and functional design piece for a work space.
Made from 100% organic cotton, Coyuchi’s Cloud Loom towels are produced by sustainable practices (avoiding pesticides and with less water).

From award-winning journalist and author, Ta-Nehisi Coates, The Water Dancer is a stunning debut novel that has garnered universal praise for its dense, detail-rich prose and its moving tale about freedom. Though a work of surrealist fiction set in Virginia midway through the 19th century, the novel touches on themes that are still present today: the separation of families, the generational mistreatment of minorities, and the long-lasting impact of slavery in the USA.
Coinciding with the opening of Judy Chicago’s Los Angeles show at Jeffrey Deitch Gallery, the beloved artist has released a collection of 36 postcards in collaboration with Prospect. The set is adorned with images of Chicago’s artworks made from 1965 to 1972 in LA, a city where she founded several feminist art programs (at Cal State Fresno and later at California Institute of the Arts) and initiatives. With images including the early sculpture “Zig Zag,” minimal pieces from Flesh Gardens and more, this collection of postcards is a colorful celebration of some of Chicago’s best work.
