From Europe with Love 👀 September 21, 2024

Buongiorno from Merano!

Welcome to this week’s installment of what’s hot in products & brands!

This week has a bit of an artsy vibe — lots of light, design, and creative collaborations. And yes, I try to stick to smaller brands and studios, but there are two larger names sneaking in this week that I just couldn’t resist. But hey, exceptions happen!

If you’re new around here: Every week, I share 5 of the coolest products from Europe I’ve discovered in the past 7 days.

I scout and you explore. Let’s get to it!

With love ☀️

PL02 Lamp by Laurids Gallée [🇦🇹🇳🇱]

Austrian designer Laurids Gallée, now based in Rotterdam, brings us the PL02 lamp—a sculptural piece that feels like art as much as a light source. With its polymer resin body and sleek aluminum details, it’s the kind of lamp that stands out in any space. If you're into statement lighting, this one is a must-see. Check it out here.

Aigle x Jean Jullien Rubber Boots [🇫🇷]

Aigle has teamed up with French artist Jean Jullien to turn ordinary rubber boots into wearable art. These boots are perfect for splashing through puddles with style, featuring Jullien’s signature playful designs. Ready to make a splash? Find them here.

Pipe Frame for Espresso Machine [🇩🇪]

Designed by Tina Bobbe, the Pipe Frame is an artistic take on industrial design for coffee lovers. While it doesn’t come with the espresso machine, this sleek frame adds a playful, custom touch to your setup. Check it out here.

LED Drawstring Backpack [🇩🇪]

Designed for festival-goers and night owls, the Nebulite LED Drawstring Backpack keeps your essentials safe while helping you stand out at any nighttime event. What makes it even cooler? It’s a side project by Veit Nachtmann — the talented guy who built the website for my coffee startup 12 years ago! Light up the night here.

Over the Moon with Pharrell Williams x Lego [🇩🇰]

I usually steer clear of featuring global brands here, but every once in a while, something catches my eye that’s too good not to share. Enter Over the Moon, a collaboration between Pharrell Williams and Lego. This set brings a creative twist that’s hard to resist. Take a look here.
