Scandinavian designer and Ferm Living founder Trine Andersen’s lovely, aptly named Pond Mirror boasts a shape that appears to have formed organically. Its curved, uneven edges reflect those of a pond, lending a softer appearance than other geometric mirrors. Measuring out to approximately 44 by 25 inches, it can be hung vertically or horizontally on the included hardware.

Produced with fruit carefully selected from a family-run farm in California’s Central Coast, Brightland’s two double-fermented table vinegars—PARASOL, a zingy champagne vinegar, and RAPTURE, a luscious balsamic vinegar—exemplify quality in the category. Made in California (much like the brand’s high-quality olive oils), these vinegars incorporate fresh chardonnay and zinfandel grapes, triple crown blackberries and navel and valencia oranges. Both are distinct enough to punch up recipes that call for vinegar—and their impact is noticeable to beginners and established chefs.

In a bold, limited edition colorway, Dangle Supply’s collaborative Blaze Orange Titanium DangleBong Water Pipe was imagined in partnership with the design-forward outdoor publication Field Mag. That bright orange represents durable powdercoat finishing atop the sturdy but lightweight aerospace-grade titanium, making this a tool that’s easy to transport and use outside. The purchase of each bong comes complete with one 50/50 hemp-cotton blend Blaze Beanie. Of greatest importance, 10% of the proceeds from this collaboration go to the Last Prisoner Project, a non-profit organization working to decriminalize cannabis and free prisoners of color who have been disproportionately served unjust sentences for nonviolent cannabis offenses.

Growing tomatoes year-round is made easier with Bloomscape’s Potted Micro Tomato Plant—which sprouts from PanAm Seed. The healthy plant arrives in nutrient-rich soil and a pot that it won’t outgrow (in one of five different colors). This particular varietal remains compact even through budding and thus won’t need to be transferred to a bigger vessel or garden. Its tomatoes veer toward the smaller side but can grow a bit bigger with ideal light, water and pruning.

In The Art of Sound: A Visual History for Audiophiles, British author and musical artist Terry Burrows traces the history of recorded sound through technology—from gramophones to mixers. Beginning in the acoustic era (1877-1925), Burrows details developments in product design made by musicians, engineers and technologists and presents them in exclusive imagery commissioned for this book, courtesy of the EMI Archive Trust. Further into the book (which boasts over 700 images and illustrations) Burrows surveys more recent innovations: magnetic tape recording, CDs, and everything that came with the dawn of the digital era.

An Hermès fragrance for all genders, L’Ombre des Merveilles weaves together the aromas of tonka bean and black tea.

Featuring Tim Presley artwork from exhibitions at Chicago’s Soccer Club Club and LA’s The Pit, the book Under the Banner of Concern complements its visual power with some of the artist’s poetry. Abstract yet identifiable, Presely’s portraiture relies on his signature “every figure” symbology, marked by sunken eyes and hollowed out, almost stick figure-like, bodies. In some spreads, black and white figures clash or contrast, and sometimes collaborate within a larger scene. Under the Banner of Concern comprises 140 pages and 89 images, including a handful of previously unreleased Presley pieces.

The generous 41-inch cotton waist straps make this piece one-size-fits-most, as does the adjustable neck strap.
