The witty designers behind Copenhagen-based Playtype love using the typefaces they’ve created in fun, different ways, from monochromatic glyphs stamped on mugs to covering skateboards. Equally big and bold are their posters that make the most of a single letter, or a word or two. Use “Way Out” as a 2D exit sign, hallway hypeman or a pop of green to transform even your most sterile spaces.

While dogs can fall asleep just about anywhere, there aren’t many spots as alluring as a couch cushion or a human bed—two places our four-legged friends might not be welcome. Mr Dog presents a beautiful solution: a pet-dedicated mattress-cushion hybrid in a charming cabbage rose floral pattern. Inside, shredded latex and cotton rag lend it durability and firmness. And as it is for pets, an array of features (from the urethane moisture wicking coat to internal air vents) make it a durable and lasting product.

There’s something rather classy about reaching for the time and pulling out a pocket watch rather than a mobile phone. Developed in the 16th century, these devices were the most popular form of time-telling all the way until WWI. People Products makes clear that they don’t have to be a relic of time long passed. Their premium Axcent Pocket Watch (made of stainless steel but in a bronze colorway) sports a Japanese Miyota 9T22 movement at its core, but it’s the sapphire crystal and brass hands that make it so alluring. It’s a minimal design but sure to impress.

A fun leafy print and fabric ends (for tying into a bow) add personality to the sporty vibe.

Super-comfortable and lightweight, this Made-in-USA looped terry tank is just right for the weather that the Northern Hemisphere is finally being blessed with.

Boxing might not be the first thing that comes to mind when looking for cannabis associations, but Bleecker Street’s Overthrow Boxing Club—housed in a space formerly known as the alternative culture Yippie Museum—makes for a worthy link.

Yippie Alice Torbush, who frequented the space, designed the pattern featured on these limited edition gloves, which clock in at 16oz and can handle heavy bag, sparing and mitt workouts.
