The Singularity Is Nearer: When We Merge with AI

$23.00

For nineteen year’s Kurzweil’s The Singularity Is Near has been the standard bearer of the future of technology. Most of what he predicted then is now part of our daily lives. The Singularity Is Nearer: When We Merge with AI is an entirely new book with the same objective. While we’re always up for a fun, light summer read, this has captured our attention as we think about the rapid advancements in AI and how it’s impacting, or soon will be, nearly every aspect of our lives. He shares his views on biotechnology, after life technology, nanotechnology, AI, 3D printing and more. It’s not light or fun, but it’s certain to inform your understanding of the near future.

Oyster

Tempo Cooler

$395.00

Oyster, a new Norwegian company, set out to improve the performance of coolers and the result is remarkable. They engineered new solutions to improve every aspect of a standard cooler and Tempo, the result, leapfrogs everything else we’ve seen. It’s a game changer, and here are just some of the ways it’s accomplished it. First, they created a patented vacuum insulation called DTLA that improves the three critical components of maintaining temperature—insulation, circulation and the “thermal bridge”—the connection between the top and bottom of the cooler. The results speak for themselves—improving those by 2x, 380x and 1.4x respectively. The beautifully designed Tempo is made of aluminum, and is 100% recyclable. You do not need to add ice to keep your contents cold—whatever you place in the Tempo stays colder longer than any other cooler, whether it’s cooled or frozen. You can fit 36 beverage cans inside. Should you need to keep whatever’s inside cooler for longer, you can add Oyster’s thin ice packs (sold separately), either cold or frozen, to both cool and keep things that way because of all of the thermal innovation. A bundle including ice packs and an aluminum handle is also available for $495.

Wolves Whiskey

Wolves American Single Malt, 11 Year

$305.00

Wolves is a dynamic force in American single malt whiskey, with Master Distiller Marko Karakasevic making a single barrel of distillate a day in a single alembic pot still in California. Editions are made from a lot of ten barrels made over a ten day period. The American Single Malt, 11 Year was distilled in 2012, aged in new American oak with a range of toast levels, and bottled in 2023 from nine of the ten barrels, with the tenth being held for a special single cask release. The liquid is fruit forward, spicy, with oats, caramel, and honey notes and a long finish. From the heavy, French-cut glass bottle to the hand applied sheepskin label and maple capped cork stopper these truly hand-crafted bottles and the considered spirit inside make this a unique and limited opportunity for passionate collectors and enthusiasts.

Respoke

Respoke Handcrafted Upcycled Footwear

$295.00

Respoke makes footwear (and other products) from upcycled designer silk scarves (mostly Hermès, Gucci, Pucci, McQueen and Louis Vuitton). What started with espadrilles has expanded to include sneakers, wedges and mules. Because the source material is a scarf each shoe is unique, with some pairs offering nearly symmetrical designs and others a complimentary pairing of the source material’s pattern. The shoes are sustainably handmade in family-owned workshops in Spain using natural materials including jute and rubber; the silk is adhered with heat and stitching—no glue is needed. Left over material (along with recovered material from worn shoes) is then used by company co-founder Chris Bartick in his artworks ensuring that waste is kept to a minimum. Pricing starts at $295 and goes up to $745 based on shoe style and source material.

SOTTOS

Roll Model Carry-On

$795.00

This innovative carry-on bag is back under a new brand name, SOTTOS, along with some improvements. First introduced in 2016 under the G-RO brand, it reinvented the standard two or four wheel styles by having two very large wheels that are attached to the outside sides of the bag. Like any leverage-focused equipment design, this allows for very easy transport, with the bag effortlessly managing curbs, stairs and uneven surfaces. By attaching the wheels and the handle to the exterior of the bag the interior space is free from their housings thus maximizing interior space and packing efficiency. The SOTTOS has several pockets, a divider with pockets and a unique point of view on traveling with style and ease.

Grain and Rice Cooker

$220.00

Kitchen Aid’s Grain and Rice Cooker brings a new design to a category that’s seen little change in its format. Instead of placing your rice or grain along with an estimated volume of liquid into your cooker, this device lets you add the rice, grains or beans into the device—from quinoa to oats to lentils and more), and separates the liquid into an adjacent chamber. When you set the device with its easy to use touchscreen (it has 21 presets as well as custom settings) it pulls the required amount of liquid to simmer your item to your desired texture. The device can also steam food. It’s a fresh (and successful) take on cooking your rice, grains and beans with ease.

Each OMAM vase follows the same form and size (16-18cm wide and  29-32cm tall) and each celebrates its uniqueness resulting from its hand-blown production. As the name suggests the company recommends that it’s best used for dry arrangements, simply because cleaning can, depending on its particular nooks and crannies, require a bit more effort.

The Other Collection

Everything Is Illuminated

€132.00

When The Other Collection creates an edition of a book you know you are getting one of the most considered, artistic and deeply design nerd experiences in print. For this edition of Jonathan Safran Foer’s multiple award winning  “Everything Is Illuminated,” first released in 2002 when he was 25 years old, TOC called upon Paul Smith to create the book’s jacket. A single drawing was turned into a pattern by Susanna Dulkinys, which looks amazing in letterpress. Type designer René Bieder’s “Vitruv” font was selected to complement Safron’s centuries-spanning story. Their editions are set digitally and their lasersetter then generates letterpress plates which are then run on their 1954 Original Heidelberg Cylinder press. Then there’s the 90 gsm paper by Schleipen Werkdruk & Gmund, a linen wrapped cover and the author’s signature on each of the 998 books in the edition. For you or anyone on your gift list who cares about great books printed in the most thoughtful manner, it’s a considered addition to any library.
