Bentley's cars are known for their luxurious interiors. Now they're bringing the same level of opulence to your house with the Bentley Home Buxton Kitchen. Designed by architect Carlo Colombo, the system is based around a larch island, with sliding panels that reveal a cooking module, and a Calacatta Gold marble top. It's paired with a brushed larch storage unit with contrasting smoked and diamond pattern cut-glass doors.
Beyond being a rock-solid writing instrument, the Karas Bolt Pen was built to be something more — fun. Its bolt-action mechanism extends and retracts the Pilot G2 ink cartridge in three deliberate steps, making it more enjoyable to fidget with than your average ballpoint. The barrel is machined in the USA from 6061-T6 aluminum or C360 brass, while the clip and related hardware are stainless steel.
Length: 6.125" / Diameter: 0.45" / Weight: 1.2 oz. (Aluminum), 2.9 oz. (Brass) / Ink: Black
M's choice of desk lamp in Skyfall, the Anglepoise 1228's flexibility goes beyond its design. The task light sits on a sturdy cast iron base and features a hinged aluminum arm. A rotating shade makes the light fully adjustable for both precise illumination or a subtle glow. While it still maintains the iconic look of the type 1227, the addition of an ice white shade offers a contemporary touch that is versatile enough for any room.
Shade diameter: 6.7" / Shade height: 7.1" / Max reach (from base to shade): 26" / Base: 5.9" / Cable length: 106.3"
Designed by Paul Fisher in 1948, and updated for NASA in the 1960s for extreme conditions, the Fisher Bullet Space Pen is one of the most iconic writing instruments ever made. Thanks to an ink cartridge that's pressurized with nitrogen gas with a tungsten carbide ballpoint tip, the pen writes in temperatures ranging from -30º F to 250º F, underwater and over wet surfaces, and at any angle, even upside down and in zero gravity. Its compact size and curved shape make it perfect for pockets. Made of brass with a matte black finish in Nevada, USA.

Machined from solid metals with a nearly indestructible clip, the Karas EDK Pen is at once both precise and rugged. It uses a click mechanism and rollerball cartridge manufactured by Schmidt in Germany — renowned for their high-quality, reliable parts — but will accept any Parker ballpoint refill. The exterior is tumbled to give it extra grip, with grooves on the bottom and knurling near the top. While the raw aluminum and anodized matte black versions are built to look great for years, the brass model is left raw and will develop its own unique patina over time.
Length: 5" / Diameter: 0.435" / Weight: 1.0 oz (Aluminum) / 2.1 oz (Brass)
Call it a little black book if you prefer, but the Pitch Black version of Field Notes' iconic pocket-sized notebooks were engineered to do more than just take down a few cell numbers. Printed in Illinois with Michigan-made "Blacktop" cover stock fused with the company's classic "Packing Brown Wrap" cover interiors, the notebooks are inspired by mid-century memo books and are handy for everything from journaling your travel adventures to recording daily to-dos.

Inspired by a chest owned by inventor Robert Edison Fulton, Best Made teamed up with Gerstner & Sons in Dayton, Ohio for this exclusive piece of furniture. Legendary illustrator Ross MacDonald took the lead on design, and the chest is constructed using American cherry wood.

Features include a book cubby, knurled brass knobs on the lower drawers, and a centerpiece clock custom-made in Germany with paneling that swings open to reveal a secret compartment.
The bike helmets that Thousand produces have a timeless feel inspired by designs from vintage motorcycle helmets. That mentality is even more present in their limited-edition Epoch Collection. An homage to iconic design, the collection features three new finishes — Speedway Creme, Nordic Wood, and Willowbrook Mint. Each features two sets of interior padding for a custom fit, a rubberized matte finish, a built-in low-profile visor, and eco-friendly leather fit straps with a one-handed magnetic fastener.

Known for its traditional yet modern look, U-Turn's Orbit Special turntable is becoming a timeless design that needed only minimal enhancements to make it our own. The first thing we did was locate some rift-sawn oak that we ebonized for the turntable's plinth, giving it an extra layer of texture. It's complemented by a mat cut from our signature bison leather, along with powder-coated black tonearm parts, and a custom on/off knob machined especially for this release. Thanks to the built-in pre-amp (no separate receiver or amp required) and pre-installed Ortofon OM 5E cartridge, you can hook it straight up to any pair of powered speakers and start playing, making it ideal if you're just getting into vinyl or just want a no-fuss setup. Also included is a blacked-out cue lever, RCA cables, and a dust cover. Two records courtesy of Vinyl Me Please — Biggie's Ready To Die and The National's Boxer — will be sent separately to help start or add-to your collection.
Innovative design and a timeless aesthetic have kept the Anglepoise Original 1227 illuminating workspaces for over 80 years — so naturally James Bond himself adorns his own flat with one, as seen in his most recent outing, Spectre. Also no stranger to Anglepoise is Bond's employer, as varying lighting sources from the British lamp maker can be seen on the desks of MI6 workers throughout other Bond films. Created by George Carwardine in 1935, the 1227 task light features his iconic tension spring mechanism that allows you to precisely position the light where it's needed. While the gloss paint finish comes in an almost-black "deep slate", the addition of solid brass components and a woven fabric cable transition this classic into any room, from a modern office to a handsome den.

Reclaim the space above your garage door with the LiftMaster 8500W Wall-Mount Opener. It sits alongside your door instead of hanging from the ceiling, creating extra room for storage and generally improving the look of your garage. Built-in Wifi lets you operate the door from anywhere (no more anxiety over whether you remembered to close it), an included LED light lets you see when stepping out of your vehicle, and the automatic deadbolt keeps your home secure.
Aesthetics aside, Ecobee's advantage over Nest has been its remote sensors, which let it monitor the temperature in multiple rooms to eliminate cold/hot spots. The Nest Temperature Sensor levels the playing field. It can be placed on the wall or on a shelf, and lets you set the temperature in specific rooms, as well as give priority to certain rooms at different times during the day. Compatible with both the latest-gen learning thermostat and the E, you can pair up to six sensors with each thermostat with a limit of 18 sensors per home.
For voice assistants to become truly effective, you need them in every room. You know what you already have in every room? Light switches. The Ecobee Switch+ packs Alexa into a sleek package that slides right in where your current "dumb" switch resides. It has motion and daylight sensors for power-saving lighting control and serves as a remote sensor for Ecobee's smart thermostats.
Mining cryptocurrency takes a lot of processing power — the kind offered by powerful graphics cards. Those generate a lot of heat. Instead of fighting it with liquid cooling systems, the Qarnot QC-1 Crypto Heater uses it to heat your home. Housed in its handsome wood and aluminum wall-mounted case is a pair of Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 580 cards with enough power to mine at up to 60MH/s. Designed as a plug-and-play solution, it can be set up in as little as ten minutes and has an added heat-boosting mode that can be turned on via an app or on the unit itself.
The rOcean Smart Water System removes more than fifteen times the contaminants a pitcher filter can handle, with a filter that only needs to be changed once per year. It connects directly to your tap and churns out filtered water, carbonated water, and even flavored water using eco-friendly rPods that are reusable and dishwasher safe. Control the system using the built-in touchscreen, their smartphone app, or through Google Home or Amazon Alexa. The app will even track your consumption and estimated savings over time.
Unlike most bar carts, it doesn't have wheels — but that doesn't make the Greta De Parry Coleman Bar Cart any less impressive. It was commissioned by bourbon maker Basil Hayden's, and makes up for its lack of mobility with a light, airy design that pairs perfectly with mid-century furnishings. Its top is made from a solid piece of either walnut or bleached maple, and at nearly three and a half feet wide, it has plenty of space to hold spirits, shakers, glasses, and other drink-making essentials.

For the same price, you could buy approximately 1,080 Bic pens (if you opt for economical 144-packs). But you'll lose every last one of those plastic ballpointers, and won't feel like your written words are worth a dime. We're opting instead for the Inventery Mechanical Pen. Available in a black oxide or brushed chrome finish, this writing instrument is machined from a single brass rod to form a unibody construction. At the heart of the pen is a Schmidt P8126 capless rollerball in black ink, paired with an all-brass Schmidt click mechanism that's near-silent. Each pen has an anti-roll groove, and is marked with an individual serial number.

Referred to as the Jaws watch, the Alsta Nautsoscaph gathered a cult following after being spotted on the wrist of Richard Dreyfuss in the 1975 film. Forty years later, this remastered version is finally ready for your own shark-hunting adventures. The handsome dive watch is powered by a Seiko-made NH35A automatic movement (never needs a battery) and sports Super-LumiNova hands and dial markers, subtle date function, and a vintage-inspired domed crystal, all housed in a perfectly-sized, satin-finished, 40mm stainless steel case. Like the original, the Nautsoscaph II is shock-resistant, anti-magnetic, and water-resistant up to 999 feet. It arrives on a classic 20mm mesh bracelet, and is limited to just 300 pieces worldwide.
It can be tough to get enough water every day. Drinkfinity helps ease the task by turning plain H2O into a mood-boosting beverage. Made with a mix of dry and liquid ingredients, each pod contains vitamins and minerals that have different benefits. Some are infused with green coffee bean extract to jumpstart your day or chamomile and lemongrass extracts for that relaxing moment. But one thing you won't find is any artificial flavors or artificial sweeteners. There's also the feel-good aspect of knowing that each pod contains 65% less plastic than a 20-ounce drink bottle.

Simplicity. Elegance. A reverence for natural forms. These tenets of good architecture extend to the design of other objects, as well, as evidenced in the Stelton x Norman Foster Tableware collection. Penned by the Pritzker winner, it includes stainless steel goblets, bowls, and trays for more formal settings, as well as a porcelain range for everyday use.
Durable. Versatile. Superior heat retention. Just a few of the reasons cast iron has been the cookware of choice for centuries. Keeping these time-honored characteristics intact, Portland-based Finex has updated the kitchen staple to create a modern heirloom skillet that's polished ultra-smooth for searing and frying, while its deep walls and construction make it also perfect for baking. Unlike traditional designs, the skillet has an octagon shape, creating multiple spouts for cleaner pours, and sports an innovative spring handle that stays cool longer. The Finex skillet arrives pre-seasoned with organic flaxseed oil.

The whiteboard has been a staple of offices and boardrooms for decades. The Samsung Flip Digital Whiteboard plans to replace it with an interactive alternative. Like a whiteboard, you can draw directly on the 55-inch screen, using any object, with up to four people drawing at a time.

Simplicity is a core tenet of great design. The Steelcase SILQ Office Chair embodies this ideal by removing every adjustment except height. In its place, it uses a new high-performance polymer material, fashioned after carbon fiber, that responds to the natural movements of the human body without a bevy of dials, stalks, and other adjustments. Thanks to its simple design, it's available in a large variety of material combinations, and in both the aforementioned polymer or the same carbon fiber as the original prototype.

In recent years, the growler has seen a rise in popularity thanks to its ability to allow you to bring fresh draft beer home. But it won't stay fresh for long, and taking down 64oz or more of beer in one sitting might not be a great idea. The uKeg Pressurized Growler from GrowlerWerks solves that issue, as it maintains perfect carbonation from the first pour until the last by utilizing vacuum-insulated stainless steel and CO2 cartridges. The regulator cap keeps any air from leaking out, providing a pour that is just what the brewer had in mind to begin with. The 64-ounce stainless uKeg arrives with a 2-pack of CO2 cartridges to ensure you're set to pour some fresh brew out of the box, just add beer.
CO2 cannot be shipped outside the Continental United States.
Ideal for spots that don't have room — or water access — for a traditional dishwasher, the Tetra Countertop Dishwasher has more on its counterparts than just size. It uses graphite electrodes and app-based controls to precisely, directly heat the water you've dumped in, allowing it to do everything from sanitizing baby bottles to cooking lobster, cleaning your ballcaps, or, yes, getting baked on food off your dinnerware. It holds around a dozen plates or glasses and takes roughly 10 minutes to clean each load. As an added bonus, its Frog Design-penned chassis will be something you won't mind taking up space in your kitchen.
It writes likes most mechanical pencils, but the DelGuard from Zebra has an advantage: innovative design. Thanks to a protective spring mechanism, the pencil's lead is nearly unbreakable, even under heavy pressure. It features a precise, fine 0.5mm point for a smooth writing experience without the headache of premature breaks.

Available in polished brass, satin nickel, or oil-rubbed bronze.
Many find painting to be relaxing. The Buddha Board is made for that, but it's more than just a glorified easel. It lets you create soft, watercolor-like artworks using nothing but a gray surface, a bamboo brush, and a basin of water that doubles as the base. While the act of painting helps relieve your stress, so too does the act of watching the image disappear as the water evaporates help you learn the Zen practice of living in the moment and letting go of the past.
You don't need to replace all your bulbs to get voice-controlled lighting. Replace your switches instead with the Noon Smart Lighting Kit. It consists of a Room Director, which communicates with up to 10 Extension Switches and has a screen for standalone control. It works well with Alexa, installs easily, and has night light and vacation modes for added convenience.
