Planner, Plate, Concrete Teapot and off-grid in Oudebosch 🌞 #74

Welcome to this week’s installment of what’s hot in brands and products.

This edition’s a day late — but for good reason.

After two days at what was the best experiential agritourism hotel I’ve ever seen, we spent a night deep in the Kogelberg Nature Reserve, in a remote cabin with no Wi-Fi and zero cell signal. Totally off the grid. And sorry for being late (but no regrets 😉).

I’ll share more about this trip — and reveal the most extraordinary place I’ve ever stayed — once it’s had a few days to settle in.

For now, just one photo:

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

P.S.: Missed the last edition? The Parafernalia Falter 2D pen was last week’s most-clicked piece.

Munich label meloni.design takes the souvenir plate trope and gives it a wink: a handmade ceramic “BERLIN” plate that feels more gallery wall than grandma’s hutch. Think underground-culture energy, served with dinner (or just hang it and call it a day).

Explore the drop

Time, de-stressed. This Barcelona-born desk clock by Besonder Design swaps ticking hands for rotating paper leaves—the hour literally turns a page, with a soft little “ping” as it passes. It even picked up an iF Design Award. Calmness for your desk.

Meet NRH Mini

This sofa could have main-character energy for our kids’ room: flips from couch to bed to conversation-pit in seconds, washable covers and 200×200 cm when unfolded. tons of colours, very “movie night that turned into sleepover.”

Pick a color

Brutalist teapot, anyone? Frédérick Gautier’s architecture-leaning teapot for Serax mixes stoneware and a concrete vibe—micro-architecture you can actually pour from. It’s dishwasher-safe and strangely elegant.
