Digging through the market’s myriad options for that perfect something—be it a big-ticket item or a small (but statement-making) detail—can be more than a bit overwhelming. That’s why done the hard work for you, scouring the globe for the best of the best: our Frederic Finds!
• • •
If this past year has taught us anything it’s that when push comes to shove, we can absolutely find joy in life’s everyday tasks. We’re calling them practical pleasures—the brass toothpaste key for getting every last drop out of that Crest tube; cedar-scented laundry soap straight from Provence; casual-cool placemats that jazz up breakfast, lunch and dinner. Here, just a few of our favorite beautiful but oh-so-useful pieces.
