Japanese paper artist Yasuyuki Wada’s paper model kits, named Top To Tail, come with everything needed to create a 3D animal—except the required patience. Flat laser-cut pieces of card simply need to be folded and joined (sometimes with a little glue) and a wild creature takes form. We love the 14-inch crocodile, but a giraffe, elephant, chimpanzee, polar bear, penguin, panda and zebra are also available.

From CH favorite, Stockholm-based Teenage Engineering, the OB–4 Portable Speaker offers about 100 decibels of super-clear sound via two four-inch bass drivers and two neodymium tweeters with 38 watts per channel. Minimal and modern, but with a distinctly old-school boombox vibe, the speaker plays music through Bluetooth, FM radio or line input (like an iPhone or RCA jack). There’s also disk mode, for which the brand will continue to experiment with features. (Right now, it offers three settings: Ambient, Metronome and Karma.) The speaker’s powerful battery provides eight hours of sound at maximum volume or (for more subdued listening experiences) about 40 hours on just one charge. Further, the OB-4 operates on a two-hour recorded loop, allowing you to rewind albums or live radio broadcasts.

Three technology-driven Dyson functions come together in the brand’s new Pure Humidify+Cool PH01 fan: air circulation and cooling, purification and humidification. After intelligent sensors detect allergens, pollutants, particles and gases, the device projects purified, humidified air into the room. It employs both an ultraviolet cleansing technology for the water within, and a fully-enclosed HEPA filtration system on the air, and it can all be easily controlled from the Dyson mobile app.

Latinx- and Black-owned CBD brand Xula produces a tincture meant to provide a sense of focus and relaxation all at once. Aptly called Ah!, the blend aids in bodily relaxation through a careful concoction of herbs, hemp, oils, and dried flowers. There’s 1000mg of CBD and 150mg of CBG present in the entire bottle, and doses includes 33mg and 5mg of each, respectively. Together, they tackle anxiety and muscle tension, while coconut-derived MCT oil helps with clarity. All of the included ingredients can also be studied in Xula’s ever-growing herbal index, a hub for medicinal research. To use, simply ingest half a dropper one to three times daily.

Whether an action shot from the stage wing or a quiet backstage portrait, the photographs provide another perspective on the bands and musicians that defined the energy, chaos, grit and creativity of punk, post-punk and new wave. From images of Siouxsie and the Banshees to The Slits, Dead Kennedys, Talking Heads and The Ramones, there are 300 photographs to flip through. Fittingly, The B-52’s frontman Fred Schneider offers a foreword.

A trio of exquisite candles from LA-based, CH favorite Boy Smells, the Rituals Votive Set includes scents both old and new.

Each three-ounce votive, in a 2.5 inch matte ombre glass tumbler, is composed of a coconut and beeswax blend with braided cotton wick.

Made from fresh hot chili peppers, onions, ginger, lemon juice, horseradish, turmeric, mustard and apple cider vinegar, Shaquanda’s Hot Pepper Sauce first made its appearance at queer party Bushwig in 2013. When asked to perform as Shaquanda (the drag persona of Andre Springer), Springer said she would oblige if food could be part of the show. After her performance, Shaquanda handed out samples to the crowd, and the response was overwhelming. With no fillers or starches, the hot sauce (along with three other condiments) is super-flavorful.

Manufactured by Queensland, Australia-based company Little Building Co (LBC), this 1:500 scale model of the Solomon R Guggenheim Museum will tantalize architecture and art fans alike—though one should be careful with the kit’s small pieces around children. Inside, there are all of the necessary elements to build the model, but LBC asks that you furnish your own high-quality PVA wood glue, which can be found at any hardware or craft store. A feat of building technology at the time of its construction, Frank Lloyd Wright’s vision for the museum features several clashing structures, yet they remained cohesive under his creative direction. With this set, and a bit of spare time, you can recreate a classic. Price is in AUD.

Known for their handmade tea canisters, Japanese brand Kaikado is now run by third-generation artisan, Takahiro Yagi. Their simple design creates a vacuum seal when they gently slide closed. We commissioned the brand to create 30 items with this very unique finish—using our original CH Omakase pattern. This marks the first time Kaikado was able to match a hand-engraved pattern and then cover it in lacquer. The more you touch this object the more patina the lacquer will acquire. And of course it can be used for more than tea—coffee, pot, candy and more will be quite happy inside.

Using old-world techniques, Good Intentions Wine Company crafts their wines with minimal intervention. All fruits are hand-picked at their three vineyards, located at the base of one of Australia’s youngest volcanoes, Mount Gambier (also known as Ereng Balam) on South Australia’s Limestone Coast. The cool climate, rainfall and limestone of the region all contribute to making fantastic wines, which Good Intentions ferments with indigenous yeasts. Their Relatively White (2018) is made from sauvignon blanc grapes that are macerated on skins. With notes of flowers, citrus, peach and ginger, this unfiltered wine pops with the right amount of acidity.

Available in rose quartz, howlite, obsidian or (our favorite) tourmaline quartz, Leaff’s crystal pipes offer more than a smoking vessel as each semi-precious stone boasts its own mystical properties. Tourmaline quartz, for instance, helps to balance Yin and Yang, while offering protection. Weighty in the hand, each pipe features a brass filter and comes with two extras for when it’s cleaning time. Be sure to follow advice for cleansing crystals too.

Ergatta worked with Rhode Island-based Water Rower to make a custom machine that’s perfectly suited to design-minded fitness enthusiasts. The wooden frame has a rich finish that’s pleasantly complemented by black components, so when not in use it’s easy on the eyes. The rowing action is smooth and friction-free with resistance coming from a paddle that spins in the water tank, making a pleasant whooshing noise. Most important is the screen experience Ergatta created to facilitate instruction, training and competition. The modern and minimal infographics are both useful and motivating which ultimately results in a better workout.

Designed by Sheila Bridges (who has helmed an eponymous interior design studio since 1994), this gorgeous Harlem Toile wallpaper features images not seen on classic Toile de Jouy. Rather than European pastoral scenes, this version satirizes and celebrates stereotypes that Bridges says are “deeply woven into the African American experience.” Characters joyfully dance next to a boombox, shoot hoops, play Double Dutch, picnic and more—blending contemporary concepts with the centuries-old style. The wallpaper is 27 inches wide by five yards long, with a 30-inch repeat on the pattern. It’s available in 12 different colorways, but Bridges also offers custom versions at an extra cost.

In addition to its dual-use functionality this third version has better temperature management, longer battery life and elegant color choices.
