Welcome to OPUMO's weekly roundup of our favourite shoppable finds. From outerwear to decorative objects and everything in between.
As you may or may not know, every year American colour-standards company Pantone names its Colour of the Year. It's chosen based on months of hawk-like trend watching and rigorous cultural research conducted by the Pantone Colour Institute, aiming to predict which colour will define the coming year in terms of design.
This year is the first to feature a shade of white, dubbed 'Cloud Dancer', and we've got a few ideas about how we'll go about incorporating it into our daily lives.
Veilance Sorin Down Jacket
How much would you spend to find out what it's like to wear a cloud? If you answered £1,600, then this absolute blinder of a big coat from the masters of teched-out urban minimalism is exactly what you're after.
Pas Normal Studios Graphic Long Sleeve
Graphic tees are OK when they're tastefully executed. This one from Danish bike nuts Pas Normal Studios is light on the logos but heavy on the artwork, which, in our view, is exactly how the balance should be struck.
Ferm Living Flow Teapot
Don't drink tea? Irrelevant. This sculptural teapot from Ferm Living looks as good perched aesthetically on a kitchen shelf as it does pouring steaming hot Tetley's at the breakfast table.
Satisfy TheROCKER
Satisfy makes running gear for people who don't use deodorant. An unconventional formula, but one that has resulted in some pretty unique kit all the same. These trail-to-tarmac running shoes are the latest example of this, and they look particularly nice in a subtle off-white.
Snow Peak Hozuki Lantern
Attract the moths in style on your next camping trip with this handy little lantern from the number-one name in aesthetically pleasing outdoor gear.
Gramicci Swell Pants
Not too tight, not too baggy, and just the right length. Proof, yet again, that Gramicci is the legwear MVP.
Diptyque 34 Boulevard Saint Germain Scented Candle
They say three's a crowd, but not when it's the number of wicks in your Diptyque scented candle. This particular one has "notes of damp moss", which is better than it sounds, we promise.
Portal Borders Belt Bag
White may not be the most practical colour for something designed to be worn hard on muddy trails, but we're willing to overlook that in the case of this belt bag from emerging endurance-sports brand Portal.
Auralee Cotton-Cashmere Shirt
Subtle herringbone texture, silky smooth cashmere-blend fabric, fitted but slightly floaty. Shirts don't come much more tasteful than this example from Japan's label of the moment, Auralee.
HAY Aplat Table Lamp
An angular twist on the paper lamp format, this sculptural piece from HAY is perfect for adding some warm light and a touch of visual interest to your space.
