WE USED to have a series here featuring a compilation of the things we loved in the past week, but it fell away about two years ago. We, however, picked up the series again last September at our Weekly Newsletter, which you may know as Listening, Reading, Thinking, Shopping, Watching and it’s essentially a glimpse inside my mind: open tabs, Screenshots folder, Search History, notes app, etc. This week we’re bringing it back, and this instalment includes stripes and summery things; vintage tech, concrete and chrome; a few staples for these early August days, aboard the Royal Scotsman, and more…
Vintage Tech
Kate Moss by @mario_sorrenti, 1992 via @katemossagency and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy at a payphone
Concrete jungle
This extremely chic hand-cast concrete coffee machine with glass water tank with porcelain steam knob and portafilter. The AnZa Concrete Espresso Machine, designed by Montaag, features a hand-casted shell, ensuring each machine is one-of-a-kind with its unique patterns and bubble textures.
Summer vibes
These perfectly evocative photos by @lucylaucht, the first, aboard the Royal Scotsman, A Belmond Train, and the second, a colour meal at La Maruzzella
“Pitched up with our own plates and no one batted an eyelid. Plastic chairs, paper table cloths, some lovely ceramics and a very good lunch, photographed for @alexandtrahanas” ⎻Lucy Laucht
Sharp shooter
The laid-back cool of South Korean pistol shooter Kim Ye-ji at the Olympic Games Paris 2024, whose calm demeanor took the internet by storm.
Think pink
This custom polished chrome pool table made in the 1980s at Merit Los Angeles gallery. (via @merit_la July 2024)
