Wishlist: LG projector, cocktail cart & more
From a cocktail cart to a cable-knit jumper, this is what we want this week
Words: Josh Lee
Set of candles by Acqua Di Parma
Feeling the drain following your first week back to work? Then let Acqua Di Parma help you out. In each of these sets are four bijou-sized candles, all of which add a touch of the Italian Riviera to your abode thanks to the fact that they emit the house’s signature Colonia fragrance – a scent which boasts notes of Sicilian citrus, rosemary and vetiver. Spreading a calming aroma around your abode, each product burns for up to ten hours each and is a welcome addition to any desktop or living room.
LG HU80KA 4K projector
The LUG80KA by LG is the Korean tech brand’s first ever UHD projector. Light output is 2,500 lumens (a feature that is solidly bright), there’s a maximum picture size of 150 inches and it also has HDR10 support. It’s also half the size of rival products, and unlike a conventional short-throw projector, it’s designed like a slim rectangle that’s complete with a handle (meaning you can tote it anywhere) and an open lid that shoots out images. The best part? It can be set on the floor, mounted on the wall or attached to the ceiling, allowing you to position it wherever you like.
Mophie Powerstation AC
Whether you need some extra juice for your smartphone, laptop or camera, the Mophie Powerstation has you covered. Kitted with a USB-C PD fast charging port, a 2.4 Amp USB-A port for legacy gadgets and a 100W AC port for everything else, this charging block can give up to 15 hours of power for a MacBook or, in other words, multiple-days-worth of battery life for smartphones. It’s also designed with a durable fabric wrap in order to protect it from scratches when you throw it in your holdall.
Bachelor bar cart
Regardless of whether or not you’re married, the Bachelor is the only way to serve your cocktails. Each product is personalised in your choice of wood and features metals trimmings in a variety of options, including brass, nickel and pewter. The leg frames are also tapered to ensure a slim finish, the tray features a black mirrored top and the set of wheels guarantees that drinks are always within an arm’s reach.
Products from Feel Unique
Because we’ve entered what is often deemed the coldest period of the year, you’ll need to be on top of your grooming routine more than ever. Flaky skin, unkempt hair and dry hands are just a few symptoms of the biting chill. And if you don’t have the time to pick up some of your favourite moisturisers and hair products, then let Feel Unique help you out. Stocking brand favourites from Chanel to Issey Miyake, the behemoth e-retailer offers a plethora of grooming goods that’ll keep you looking sharp with just a click of a mouse.
Our pick of the lot? The exfoliating energy scrub by Tom Ford (perfect for early morning pick-me-ups), the Cartier L’Envol eau de perfum (which can be worn from the office to the bar) and the Taylor of Old Bond Street Eton shaving cream bowl (an item which will produce a smooth and rich lather).
Cable-knit jumper by COS
This season, every gent needs a cable-knit jumper to help keep out the frost – and not many come better than this newly-available option from Scandi brand COS. With tightly woven threads and a complex weave pattern, this menswear staple piece will prove more practical in winter than, say, a lighter, fine gauge pullover that has few threads.
Not only practical but also stylish, this wardrobe classic is perfect to wear either in your chalet getaway or during your city break to the depths of Iceland.
Peace Lily Table by Colin Reid
In this era dominated by minimalistic, Nordic-cum-Japanese-inspired designs, there’s something to be said about bold and elegant furniture such as the Peace Lily Table by glassware specialist Colin Reid. Kiln-cast and made with polished optical glass with a flame-cut, sand-blasted, rusted and waxed steel base, this striking piece is ideal for those wishing to make a statement inside their abode.
For maximum impact, pair with chateau-style chairs and opulent glassware from LSA international.
