Wishlist: TV, art display and a turntable

Whether you use it to count down the days until the weekend or check when your next meeting is, a desk calendar isn’t exactly the most exciting item in your workspace, but it’s definitely an essential. Designer Ric Bell’s DodeCal is, however, far more interesting. Lending its name from the dodecahedron shape, this is a three-dimensional, 12 sided calendar with the months and dates painstakingly engraved into the finest sycamore wood. Sure to catch the eye of your colleagues, you’ll be happy to keep this quirky object around all year.

Love music but turn your nose up at even the mention of Spotify? Shinola have released The Runwell Turntable, a perfect purchase for even the most traditional of audiophiles. Ditching their typical forte of timepieces and bicycles, the hipster-chic american brand have collaborated with the turntable experts at VPI to ensure that buyers are provided with the best possible sound quality when spinning their favourite vinyls. It’s available in all black or a natural oak iteration, which exclusively only has a production run of 500- whatever iteration you go for, you need to get your hands on it.

In between all the demands of one’s professional and personal commitments, a gentleman’s busy schedule can have him constantly grappling at his pockets and at the bottom of his bag to ensure that he has all of his essential belongings. So step up your organisation game with This is Ground’s leather lifestyle roll. Fitted with a zipped pouch and eight handy slots to house everything from tech gear, to stationary, and even glasses, after buying this product you’ll wonder how you ever got by without it.

Even if you consider yourself an authority on interiors and already have a delightfully decorated home, televisions are notoriously an eyesore in any living space. No matter how thin or sleek, modern technology’s inclination to make screens increasingly bigger means TV’s always end up looking imposingly ugly. Loewe’s Bild 9 model dispels this problem; rather than attempting to diminish the TV’s presence, the tech brand have paired with design agency Bodo Sperlein to uplift it to a dramatic focal point. Reinventing the set’s frame, the Bild 9 now sits on a beautifully minimal stand that’s inspired by linear sculptures. Available in 2017 in a host of luxe finishes that include brass and graphite grey, you won’t struggle to find one to suit your tastes.

So you know your Rothkos from your Rembrandts, but you don’t have the cash to commit to masterpiece. Electric Object’s E02 Art display should most certainly be your next buy. Built with a 23 inch, 1080 HD LCD screen, this clever creation can be paired with the brand’s mobile app which allows you to upload and then display your own artworks, or gain access to over 30,000 community pieces. Of course if you’re not one to take to an easel and canvas, you can also join the Art Club which is a gateway to a myriad of commissioned and museum works for a very low price.

We may be at the heart of winter but that doesn’t mean you should dismiss all your jackets in favour of the hefty coat. Heavy materials such as suede will still keep you warm, especially when layered over chunky knits- which makes the ‘Henfield’ aviator jacket by Ralph Lauren Purple Label a worthy investment. Making historical reference to the flight jackets of days past, this covetable piece has been crafted from a light-brown suede and then finished with a leather-backed collar and ribbed trims to lock in extra heat. Opulent yet utterly wearable, pair this with casual garments to give your off-duty look an upgrade.
