Symbolorum: The Secret Wisdom of Emblems

$20.00

Before there were tarot decks there were Baroque emblem books, popular in the 16th and 17th centuries and featuring allegorical images accompanied by Latin phrases. The books offered an enchanted connection between mystical images and mottos showing human lives alongside celestial, bestial and plant life. Discovered during her research into fragrances from that time, natural perfumer Mandy Aftel’s Symbolorum: The Secret Wisdom of Emblems brings us back to that era, with Camerarius’s images reborn in watercolor and modern commentary. A great addition to any cabinet of curiosities or the library of anyone inspired by the subject.

Lớp Small Square Light

$245.00

“Lớp” is Vietnamese for layers, and it’s easy to see how this light got its name. Simple in concept—a matte opaque glass sphere with an LED bulb inside is encased by nine acrylic squares and connected by stainless still rods. Viewing the reflected light from different angles when illuminated feels like it is moving. Designed by Thomas Vincent, the Lớp Big Square light measures 9.4″ x 10″ / 24 x 25.5 cm. It’s available in eight colors.

The Typical Stretch Towel

$48.00

Typical ups your towel game by adding just a bit of stretch (they are 98% cotton and 2% spandex). One of our editors has lived with these for a few weeks and gives an enthusiastic thumbs up for their softness, stretchiness and quick-drying capabilities. Available in bath (30″ x 60“), hand (14″ x 34″) and face (14″ x 14″) sizes, we’re also fans of the surprising color combos in their striped and polka dot patterns.

ST-01 Trimmer

$158.00

Finally, a beautifully designed, lightweight, waterproof trimmer that ticks every check box. The STAMEN ST-01 is made from 100% recycled plastic and charges by USB-C cable—no bulky chargers or batteries needed to keep you going when on the road and in other countries. If your current trimmer vibrates in your bag because it bumps into something and turns itself on you’ll appreciate a lock that prevents that from happening and draining your battery. A simple scrolling wheel adjusts the trimmer guard from 3-18mm (it’s .5mm with the guard off). It feels great in your hand. It’s all you need, and nothing more.

Brezi

Cold Brew Coffee + Tea Brewer

$399.00

“Cold brew, but make it fast” is now just minutes away with Brezi Cold—a purpose-built cold brew brewer for coffee and tea. We’ve been testing it for several weeks and are really happy with the results. As you know cold brew is one of the gentlest brewing methods, preserving all of the taste with with substantially less acid. It starts with a hot water bloom to get the coffee primed, then moves to cold brewing, all based on the parameters you’ve set. A fresh cold brew takes around 10 minutes (which varies based on brew volume) and a Kyoto-style slow drip method (our favorite) is also available (which takes around an hour, also based on brew volume). Founded by passionate runners who wanted to enjoy post-run cold brew, they developed their own system when alternatives were lacking. The machine is thoughtfully engineered, with a simple control dial on top of the machine that rotates through brewing options. The grounds cup attaches magnetically. It’s simple to use, and delivers a satisfying cold brew experience.

$38.00

You don’t need to travel as much as we do to include compression socks in your travel kit. They are essential for flying, helping your body to keep your blood flowing in your feet and legs while sitting on your ass for hours at a time. Many people wear them when working out, or if standing most of the day at work, too. We’ve tried many brands and VIM & VIGR is our new favorite. They offer multiple styles (regular socks, open-toe socks, leg sleeves) in three different knits—cotton, wool (our favorite) and moisture-wick nylon), various compression strength, and of these in many solid colors and patterns.

PowerClip

$40.00

When we’re in full on art or design week mode we always travel with a heavy duty power bank to keep our crew going through multiple full phone charges a day. While a great solution they are bulky and heavy, and often much more than what you need. Twelve South’s PowerClip sits at a specific place in the range of charging devices—its small size and light weight makes it ideal to carry on your key chain, clipped to your bag, or comfortably placed in a pocket. It is designed to deliver enough power—around a 30% charge—to ensure that you have enough to get through the rest of the day or night. It cannot charge your phone fully, though it can fully charge other items like earphones etc. It can even charge two USB C devices at the same time using its two cables, and if you are short a cable it can connect to a power source and a device.

Opinel No. 8 National Parks Guide Series

$50.00

Opinel is a legendary knifemaker founded in 1890 in the French Alps. Even if you don’t think you “know” Opinel, you probably actually do. Their No. 8 consists of a wood handle carved entirely from a single piece of certified, sustainably harvested beech, a simple, circular metal lockring and a steel blade. Opinels have starred in television series and films like the French Connection II, and now Opinel has commissioned a limited National Parks Guide Series, featuring Yellowstone, Great Smoky Mountains and the Grand Canyon as envisioned through the eyes of local artists. The knife artwork is unique, a bit whimsical and we love that it comes with an accompanying Wildsam field guide to each park. It’s a fun tribute; plus, a portion of every sale goes to Leave No Trace.
