Decanter Bacchus

$525.00

Decanting a wine allows for a cleaner tasting experience—something invaluable with either very young or high tannin wines. With their Bacchus decanter, luxury Austrian glassware brand Riedel draws inspiration from the history of wine consumption—and the Greek god of grape harvesting, theater and madness—for a distinct horn shape. With a 63.5 oz holding capacity, it more than comfortably houses an entire bottle of wine.

Electric Kettle

$95.00

If you hadn’t noticed, MUJI’s US online store has been down for the past few months while undergoing a complete overhaul, meaning the only way to get your dose of quality, affordable Japanese design was to go brick-and-mortar. It’s finally up and running, just in time to help achieve many of our organizational, “Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up” goals for 2016 (or at least January). We’re hankering after their kitchen appliances, particularly the simple, minimalist Electric Kettle: an energy-efficient design that has water boiling in 80 seconds, shutting off automatically afterwards.
