A cedar sauna, a berber rug & Europe’s nicest cable cube – From Europe with Love #48 👀

Buonasera from Bardolino!

Welcome to this week’s installment of what’s hot in brands and products.

The lost hour from switching to summer time completely derailed the intro.

So this is what you get 🤷‍♂️
(Plus I was traveling and just got back.)

Every week, I share five of the coolest products I’ve come across in the past 7 days.

Let’s dive in.

With love ☀️

Azilal Rug [🇫🇷 | 🇲🇦]

Hand-knotted in Morocco. Curated in France by Marion and THEM. It’s a bright, slightly chaotic burst of color for anyone tired of pretending to like beige. No middlemen. No markup. Fair prices and just a wild-hearted rug that might quietly judge the rest of your living room. Unroll the magic

Lutra Sauna [🇬🇧]

Built in Devon by Out of the Valley. Looks like a minimalist chapel for sweating out your sins. A wood-fired sauna crafted from black cedar, with a glass front that dares the forest to stare back. Bold. Quiet. Very warm. (Except the seamlessly integrated ice bath). See Lutra in the wild

Power Cable Stand [🇩🇰]

A cable stand from Aarhus-based Pedestal that’s somehow more put-together than any other cable stands I’ve seen. It doesn’t solve your existential problems, but it might keep your charger from falling behind the nightstand for the 700th time this month. Designed to do one job. Nails it. Hold onto it here

T3+ Portable Speaker [🇸🇪]

Designed by Mikael Jepson — former glam rock guitarist, now glass-painting, fabric-making, lamp-designing Swedish polymath. This special edition of Audio Pro’s portable speaker feels equal parts stage-ready and shelf-worthy. Sounds good. Looks better. Doesn’t scream for attention — just waits for you to notice. Turn it up

Wine Stopper “Buddy” [🇪🇸 | 🇸🇪]

It’s a wine stopper. But also a small surrealist sculpture. Designed by Swedish artist Klas Ernflo, produced in Barcelona, and somehow channeling “if Matisse had a side hustle.” Great gift for people who drink wine and feel feelings ;) Meet Buddy
