This compact, sleek and infinitely addicting new musical instrument is a hand-held synth, looper and MIDI device. It interfaces with Garage Band, Pro Tools and more for easy music-making. Eight capacitive-sensing pads, responsive multicolor LEDs and an embedded haptic engine offer visual and vibrational feedback. Orba features sound design from DJ and engineer Richard Devine. Create a drumbeat, bass, chord and lead parts that can play from the built-in speaker, headphones or through the output into amps and speakers. Professional musicians and amateurs alike will enjoy making music as soon as they have the Orba.

$160

Expand product description

For the debut SSENSE WORKS capsule collection (wherein the luxury retailer SSENSE invites a member of its creative community to collaborate), Tony-nominated playwright and polymath Jeremy O Harris developed a vibrant, colorful and textural set of shirts, pants and accessories. Harris found inspiration from “the spirit of Zora Neale Hurston’s writing, the sound of Ethel Waters’ singing, the colors of Jacob Lawrence’s paintings and the textures of Carl Van Vechten’s photos” as well as the style of friends, collaborators and colleagues—including director Janicza Bravo and photographer Tyler Mitchell. Highlights are plentiful but our personal favorite is the Black + Pink Rose Long Sleeve T-Shirt.

Vase by Nakagawa Mokkouegi

$1900

Expand product description

Third-generation woodworker Shuji Nakagawa at Nakagawa Mokkouegi in Shiga used a 700-year-old technique called Ki-Oke (or bucket-making) to craft these vases—in an edition of 30 unique pieces. Today there are just a few of these traditional artisans left—and unlike many of his peers, Nakagawa also uses the technique to create more modern objects like these. For this particular commission, we asked him to create a vase with an organic shape unlike one he’d ever produced before. When he presented the stellar collection of 30 pieces he said the commission was the most challenging project he’s worked on.
