June 1, 2022 – Earlier this month, Lego and MoMA teamed up to give Van Gogh’s impressionist masterpiece Starry Night a playful makeover with this 3D rendering consisting of over 2,000-pieces (and a mini Vincent figurine!) If you’re planning a fun night in, we recommend gathering up a group of friends, maybe a bottle of wine (or two), and spending the night navigating this grown-up puzzle together.

June 1, 2022 – For Pride Month, 1stDibs tapped the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art to curate an edit of art, photography, furniture, and more, showcasing a diverse spectrum of LGBTQ+ artists whose works celebrate queer identity. While several pieces in the collection are splurge-worthy for sure, this understated, yet impactful artwork by Félix González-Torres (who will be featured in the museum’s upcoming fall exhibit, “Indecencia”) is a particular standout that can easily blend in with your existing decor.

June 1, 2022 – Something that brought a smile to our face earlier this month was this collab between New York–based brand KULE and West Elm. If you’re in need of an uplifting set of throw pillows, towels, or perhaps a sentient bath mat, look no further than these items—emblazoned with a smiley face and stripes—in a very cheery collection designed by Nikki Kule.

Available in metallic purple, orange, blue, or green—and complete with an equally sleek (and sanitary) drip tray—Staff’s latest and greatest is here to challenge the notion that cleaning products can’t be both functional and fashionable.

June 7, 2022 – Adding a pop of color to your handbag rotation is easy with the latest collab from Marimekko and Mansur Gavriel. Marrying the Finnish design house’s playful prints with the New York—based brand’s superior leather craftsmanship, the collection’s lineup of totes, bucket bags, and pouches are sure to bring just the right amount of whimsy to your summer ensemble. We’d opt for this versatile bucket bag, both a very wearable silhouette and a cheeky homage to strawberry season.

June 7, 2022 – We think a dreamy tile coaster like this one from Golde and Subtle Art Studios is the chicest way to protect your coffee table against water rings. Handcrafted in San Francisco in a Golde-inspired superfood colorway, these glassy tabletop accessories are a summer must-have when you’re sipping on your morning matcha or favorite cacao turmeric latte blend.

June 7, 2022 – Branche is a new name in the foodie world that’s setting high standards for ingredient sourcing and flavor with its just-released artisanal olive oils. The brand, founded by former software developer Carlos Agudo (who tasted 100+ olive oils from all over the world before landing on a recipe from Tabernas, Spain), has oils that are meant to be the star of the show. Not sure where to start? We think it’s a nice idea to add a drizzle of this buttery No. 2 to summer salads or maybe even a few scoops of ice cream.

June 7, 2022 – This collab between Jacobsen Salt Co. and Fly By Jing has us feeling salty in the best way possible. Combining JSC’s superior kosher sea salt with FBJ’s handpicked Sichuan tribute peppers, add a sprinkle of this special condiment when you want to add a little bit of heat to just about any recipe—from thirst-quenching cocktails to your favorite spicy summer dishes.

For their latest installment, the activewear company is honoring the lasting influence of the Eameses by integrating the design powerhouse’s celebrated work with two wearable silhouettes.
