Wishlist: What we want this week
From grandiose exercise gear to superbly small boats, this is what we want this week
Typically kept tucked away in an old, dusty cupboard for those rare home workouts, exercise equipment isn’t something that you usually want on display. However, in an attempt to make a home decor piece that isn’t just for show, Italian brand Dow have crafted a kettlebell from real marble. Perfect for when you want to break a sweat in style, the fitness tool is available in a variety of sizes, marble types, and is even customisable with your own initials – a stunning object that pulls its weight in both functionality and finesse.
When it comes to taking to the water, you don’t always need a superyacht to impress – just take a look at the Tinnie 10 boat. Measuring in at just 10 feet in length and weighing only 173lbs, this can speedily transport you and one other guest across the seas using its 6hp, 4-stroke or electric motor. Miniature but marvellous, purchase if only to have the last laugh at the billionaires struggling to manoeuvre their behemoths out of a mooring space.
If your home workspace is in need of an upgrade, then this table lamp from Lambert & Fils should definitely be your next investment. Crafted from matte black powder-coated steel and then given brass and marble accents, this chic interior item takes inspiration from mid-century Modernist design and industrial aesthetics. A perfectly eye-catching addition to any work space, this might just make answering emails or completing paperwork slightly more enjoyable.
Newly released is Designed by Apple In California, a must-buy for those tech-obsessed individuals that are rarely seen without an iPhone or Macbook in tow. Bound in white linen and printed on gilded matt paper with silver edges, the book embodies Apple’s minamalist aesthetic – and all 450 of its pages have been photographed in the brand’s signature stark style, on a white background and highly saturated. Giving a wonderful insight into everything from Steve Jobs’ legacy to the company’s design process, it seems Apple can make any creation equally covetable as their devices.
Forget your polished precious stones: TATEOSSIAN have proved that rough cut diamonds are something to be admired by placing them in the centre of a spectacular pair of cufflinks. Cast in ruthenium-plated metal, these are sure to add a sparkling touch of personality to your shirts and will certainly be an accessory to treasure for the ages.
Waterford’s Dungarvan decanter set will undoubtedly ensure that you’re the host with the most. Crafted from brilliant crystal and boasting wonderful linear cuts that echo the architectural forms of the grand Dungarvan castle in Ireland, this set will impress your guests no end the next time it’s your turn to serve the tipples. Accompanied by two equally striking tumbler glasses, the decanter and its accessories are the ingredients of a truly enviable home bar.
