From Europe with Love šŸ‘€ September 21, 2024

Check out this sculptural lamp, LED backpack, rubber boots, espresso machine frame and more I discovered in the last 7 days...

Buongiorno from Merano!

Welcome to this week’s installment of what’s hot in products & brands!

This week has a bit of an artsy vibe — lots of light, design, and creative collaborations. And yes, I try to stick to smaller brands and studios, but there are two larger names sneaking in this week that I just couldn’t resist. But hey, exceptions happen!

If you’re new around here: Every week, I share 5 of the coolest products from Europe I’ve discovered in the past 7 days.

I scout and you explore. Let’s get to it!

With love ā˜€ļø

Over the Moon with Pharrell Williams x Lego [šŸ‡©šŸ‡°]

I usually steer clear of featuring global brands here, but every once in a while, something catches my eye that’s too good not to share. Enter Over the Moon, a collaboration between Pharrell Williams and Lego. This set brings a creative twist that’s hard to resist. Take a look here.
