A stand-out from design duo Saint Atma’s Fall/Winter 2015 collection, the large Atlantic Textile is a versatile piece that can be wrapped around the shoulders, set on the table or bed, even hung on the wall. We love the unique rough softness of the raw silk that feels cozier than its fine silk counterpart; but it’s the captivating hand-dyed patterns (done in Brooklyn) that make this extra special.

Manufactured by Alessi, this stainless steel kettle has become the brand’s first multi-sensory design—warming tastebuds and stimulating eardrums. Unlike the ear-piercing screams of other kettles, this classic 1983 kettle by Richard Sapper produces a delightful melody when water reaches a boil—thanks to a brass whistle that sings two notes: “mi” and “si.” Its simple, notched handle also makes it a pleasure to pour.

Made from one of the most time-consuming fabrics to produce—loopwheeled cotton—this heavyweight, indigo-dyed hoodie by The Strike Gold will break in and fade over time just like your favorite pair of raw denim jeans. Its fabric has been woven tighter than usual to block wind, while its interior has been triple-bushed for a soft touch. Two front pockets and custom metal zips add a vintage vibe.

Every few years, artist David Hochbaum takes the wood scraps left over from his homemade frames and turns them into something magical: little hand-painted houses that come grouped together in a set of 11, all shipped in a coffee can. Each house is numbered and signed and no two are ever the same. They’re an entry-point to the artist’s imaginative vision and are plenty of fun to set up and move around—whether it’s the holidays or not.

On the surface, however, there are refined flourishes aplenty: from the Côtes de Genève finish of the face to the brilliant blue hands.
