The best lamps are always a little sculptural. They look great whether they're on or off—like this task lamp that was first produced by Paul McCobb in 1952. CB2 is faithfully reproducing it with blackened brass and an enameled metal shade. Functional details like the light switch, fasteners and angle adjuster have been fabricated to match their midcentury predecessors. Place it on a desk, a nightstand or an entryway table.

Are these the perfect socks for summer? This Aussie brand crafts cushy, comfortable and breathable socks from a cotton-nylon blend with a touch of stretch so they stay put without being too tight. They have a smooth knit texture with a raw, slightly rolled edge, making them look great when worn with shorts and loafers or sandals. And this set comes in three coffee-hued shades.

There's a reason why this looks and feels like the perfect deadstock knit polo. Nicola Radano meticulously replicated an original crochet pattern from the 1940s. Made from luxurious 100% Zegna Baruffa cotton, it features a distinctive keyhole button detail, seamlessly blending vintage charm with modern sophistication. It comes in five colorways, but we think the rich navy is the best.

Looking for a new summer scent? The iconic fragrance house Acqua di Parma is expanding upon its fan-favorite Blue Mediterraneo collection with La Riserva. This new collection offers intensified versions of three scents created using a two-month maceration process of their respective ingredients. Arancia di Capri, for example, “evokes the succulent sensation of a freshly hand-peeled ripe orange with hints of wild rosemary.”
