Sori Yanagi Flatware Set

01

Info

—01. Made in Japan.

Words

Sori Yanagi designed some beautiful items in his day. Among them, the Butterfly stool, and his kettle, as featured in our latest issue. While Ikea makes a pretty good version of very affordable and reasonable looking cutlery, sometimes you can't help but look for an upgrade. Yanagi's flatware set offers a nice balance between simple design, nice shapes and a modest aesthetic, as with most of his products.

It feels like there are a lot of shops opening these days, and maybe its a good sign of the times, but more often than not, the new shops aren't overly interesting. Delstore is one of those few that do appear to be rather nice. Located in Hong Kong, the small retail space focuses on select collections, mainly from Japan, and a nice variety of printed pieces.

Margaret Howell 2012 Calendar

01

Info

—01. Sea & Coastline.

Words

There are plenty of nice calendars out there each year, none of which I ever buy. My iCal seems to work pretty well, and but there is still something nice about a well designed date keeper. For 2012 Margaret Howell has put together a selection of artwork by British painters, and produced this piece in association with Emma Mason Gallery.

—02. Black Watch Flannel.

Words

It's been getting quite brisk lately, strong winds and dropping temperatures are becoming more frequent. Both these EG scarves have a great pattern, provide warmth, and bring some nice colour to the darker tones that accompany the dismal weather. If you're looking for a scarf this season, pick one of these up before they're all gone.

—01. 100% Wool.
—02. Made in New York.

Words

I've been looking for the perfect pair of grey wool pants and this pair by Engineered Garments might just be the one. As the weather turns from fall to winter, wool is a material I wear a lot more frequently. These look comfortable and easily interchangeable between outfits. Investing in this brand has never disappointed me, so with that being said, in my opinion this is certainly a product that anyone could rely on season after season.

Olive & Navy

Info

—01. Post Overalls Cruzer Jacket.

Words

Arguably two of the best colors invented, especially when it comes to clothing. The Stockroom always has a nice variety of garments in olive and navy, but this fall in particular we have some especially nice pieces in these staple shades. Some are collaborations, some are standard issue and some are classics.
