01 Shoes Arrels “Arrels is more than just a brand of footwear; it’s waking up on the right side of the bed and walking through life with a spring in one’s step,” says Javier Llaudet, who dreamt up the Barcelona-based canvas-shoe brand with his cousin in 2015. Every pair is made in Spain and Arrels will launch a new collection each summer. — mss arrelsbarcelona.com 02 Coffee pot Breaktime Kit Seoul-based designer Bumki Song’s coffee pots take three weeks to make but the conductive copper body is quick to heat up. Made from brass, copper, tin and teak, it is inspired by the designer’s desire to reconnect to the ritual of drinking coffee. — kl breaktimekit.com 03 Desk accessories Dowel Jones Design studio Dowel Jones makes simple objects with sharp aesthetics. Melbourne-based founders Dale Hardiman and Adam Lynch bring a masterful eye to these tactile pieces; we like the copper-and-leather ruler and the Blocchi pencil holder made from solid oak. — mdb doweljones.com 04 Tape measure Millisecond Tsubame in Niigata, Japan, is well known for its metalwork, so it’s little wonder this handy tape measure hails from there. Compact and hardy, the palmsized item has a subtly depressed surface for added grip. — jt caroinfo.info
