MetMo Eddy

In 1855, French physicist Léon Foucault discovered that moving a conductor through a magnetic field could generate circulating electrical currents within the metal, creating a force that resists its motion. Nearly two centuries later, MetMo harnesses that electromagnetic force into a palm sized gadget, the Eddy. Built around pure copper and a powerful magnet, the precision-engineered object turns electromagnetic induction into something you can see, feel, and repeat. Send the magnet into motion and invisible eddy currents fight back, slowing its movement in a strangely mesmerizing demonstration of physics at work. Equal parts scientific experiment, kinetic sculpture, and desktop distraction, the Eddy re-engineers a discovery from 1855 for anyone who finds magic in understanding how things work.

Luca Faloni Linen Overshirt

Luca Faloni expands its summer-ready layering lineup with a lightweight linen overshirt designed for warm-weather versatility. Cut from pure linen and crafted in Northern Italy, the piece features a relaxed straight-fit silhouette, cutaway collar, and breathable construction suited for transitional layering from cool mornings to late evening dinners. The natural texture of the linen gives the overshirt a lived-in character while maintaining the refined tailoring associated with Italian menswear. Lightweight enough for Mediterranean summers yet structured enough for everyday city wear, the overshirt moves easily between coastal escapes, café terraces, and everyday travel.
