La Sorrentina Coffee Machine

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Originally designed in the '40s by Giordano Robbiati as part of an "Atomic" collection, the La Sorrentina coffee machine feels firmly planted in the Atomics Age, giving it a slightly exotic, kitschy feel. But that counts, too. The machine is designed to produce up to six shots of espresso at a time, in addition to frothed milk.

Superga: Men's Formula Uno

2 people recommended this item

Description

This is how traditional court sneakers, which we think of as Chuck Taylor's, get translated by Europeans. Note the refinement, which makes this shoe go better with slacks than most any sneaker you've ever owned.

Cocò Table Lamp

First to recommend

Description

Designed by Aldo Cibic for Foscarini in 2000, this lamp brings to mind a small bird perched on your desktop. Made with a lacquered metal base and a diffused glass shade, the 18"-tall piece is sculptural enough to command attention on any surface.
