Welcome to this weekās installment of whatās hot in products & brands!
This week has a bit of an artsy vibe ā 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 couldnāt resist. But hey, exceptions happen!
If youāre new around here: Every week, I share 5 of the coolest products from Europe Iāve discovered in the past 7 days.
I scout and you explore. Letās get to it!
With love āļø

Austrian designer Laurids GallĆ©e, now based in Rotterdam, brings us the PL02 lampāa sculptural piece that feels like art as much as a light source. With its polymer resin body and sleek aluminum details, itās the kind of lamp that stands out in any space. If you're into statement lighting, this one is a must-see. Check it out here.
@ Aigle
Aigle has teamed up with French artist Jean Jullien to turn ordinary rubber boots into wearable art. These boots are perfect for splashing through puddles with style, featuring Jullienās signature playful designs. Ready to make a splash? Find them here.

Designed for festival-goers and night owls, the Nebulite LED Drawstring Backpack keeps your essentials safe while helping you stand out at any nighttime event. What makes it even cooler? Itās a side project by Veit Nachtmann ā the talented guy who built the website for my coffee startup 12 years ago! Light up the night here.
Ā© Lego
I usually steer clear of featuring global brands here, but every once in a while, something catches my eye thatās too good not to share. Enter Over the Moon, a collaboration between Pharrell Williams and Lego. This set brings a creative twist thatās hard to resist. Take a look here.
Don't keep all this European goodness to yourself!
