Wishlist: Laptops, lamps & more

Your newest home office essentials have arrived with the latest runway-meets-interiors collaboration between Anglepoise and Paul Smith. Based on Anglepoise’s iconic Type 75 design, this light range comes in three different palettes for its three models – the mini, the desk, and the floor lamp – and will be on displays at this year’s Clerkenwell Design Week. Our pick of the lot? The blue, yellow, and red option inspired by Dutch painter Mondrian De Stijl.

A carbon fibre construction allows for excellent weight distribution and high levels of dynamic stability while a triple IPS propulsion keeps noise levels to a minimum. Better still, the S7’s joystick offers simple, game-like steering, making this an easy vessel to control without sacrificing any performance.

Perfetto.

Searching the net for a customised yet affordable timepiece? Then look no further than Boom (Brand of Open Minds) watches, because while many brands allow you to change just the bezel, this new site gives its customers the option to choose the bezel, strap and inner and outer casing. For example, buyers can start off by designing a classic leather-strapped gentleman’s classic, but then swap it to a military-style look with a matte black case and nylon strap. And, for the less creative, there is also the option of choosing some wrist armour from any one of Boom’s three ready-to-wear collections.

Inspired by Leica’s ‘Noctilux-M 50 mm f/0.95’ – the world’s fastest aspherical lens – Master & Dynamic’s 0.95 capsule collection features three sets of headphones, including this pair (the MW60) which is noise-cancelling, fitted with 45mm neodymium drivers, and is complete with red acoustic mesh cup lining and a 16-hour battery life. Plug in, tune out.

Inspired by both the steam rooms at London’s Savoy Hotel and its first fragrance, Hammam Bouquet (first released in 1872), scent master Penhaligon has released a new scent that contains notes of eucalyptus, lemon, and rosemary as well as hints of incense and cedar. It’s light, fresh and floral, making it ideal to wear in the summer heat.

Yesterday, HP announced major updates to its Spectre x2 – and they may convince Apple aficionados to switch their technological allegiances. The 2-in-1 tablet now has an impressive 14 hours of battery life (two more hours than the MacBook Air), lets you sketch on the screen using the Windows lag-free pen, and houses seventh generation Intel Core processors, meaning that is has plenty of computing power. Other specs include a detachable keyboard and a 12.3-inch 3K x 2k display. Your move, Tim Cook.
