Buonasera from Merano!
Two links from the wider world of products and design before this week’s five.
Video: Why Pantone colors cost what they cost. Good explainer. A quiet monopoly I’d argue most people even in marketing or product design have never actually looked at.
And this: a candle with a 5-minute burn time. The Kiosk Kerze. My first reaction was that it's a bit absurd. My second reaction was that I kind of want one.
If you’re new around here: Every week, I share 5 of the nicest products from Europe I’ve discovered in the past 7 days.
I scout, you explore.
With love 🌞

P.S.: Missed the last edition? The bread knife from metal workshop Isifer in Lungiarü/Italy was the most-clicked product.

Third Eye Vase 🇮🇹
From Milan-based REdDUO comes the Third Eye Vase. Handmade in Italy, using deadstock materials where possible. To me it looks more like a heart than a third eye, but I like it.

Oïphorique P Still 🇪🇸
Parachilna's Oïphorique P Still is a floor lamp designed by Atelier Oï, pleated textile, chrome rings. Lands somewhere between lamp and sculpture. Very good.

Meta Side Table 🇩🇪
New Tendency's Meta Side Table is powder-coated steel that keeps changing shape without moving. From one angle: light. From another: solid.

Space Lowboard 🇳🇱
HKLIVING’s Space Lowboard solves a boring problem well: where to put all the ugly stuff you still need. Long, low, clean, useful. The sage and cream version is the one.

Yankees Crochet Cap 🇳🇱
A Form Unseen takes a real Yankees fitted and turns it into the Yankees Crochet Cap. Crocheted crown, breathable lining, only 250 per colorway. Slightly ridiculous. But Sina would love it.
