“Lớp” is Vietnamese for layers, and it’s easy to see how this light got its name. Simple in concept—a matte opaque glass sphere with an LED bulb inside is encased by nine acrylic squares and connected by stainless still rods. Viewing the reflected light from different angles when illuminated feels like it is moving. Designed by Thomas Vincent, the Lớp Big Square light measures 9.4″ x 10″ / 24 x 25.5 cm. It’s available in eight colors.

Typical ups your towel game by adding just a bit of stretch (they are 98% cotton and 2% spandex). One of our editors has lived with these for a few weeks and gives an enthusiastic thumbs up for their softness, stretchiness and quick-drying capabilities. Available in bath (30″ x 60“), hand (14″ x 34″) and face (14″ x 14″) sizes, we’re also fans of the surprising color combos in their striped and polka dot patterns.

Finally, a beautifully designed, lightweight, waterproof trimmer that ticks every check box. The STAMEN ST-01 is made from 100% recycled plastic and charges by USB-C cable—no bulky chargers or batteries needed to keep you going when on the road and in other countries. If your current trimmer vibrates in your bag because it bumps into something and turns itself on you’ll appreciate a lock that prevents that from happening and draining your battery. A simple scrolling wheel adjusts the trimmer guard from 3-18mm (it’s .5mm with the guard off). It feels great in your hand. It’s all you need, and nothing more.
