A tiny genius for the kitchen
Anova Culinary's new $1,199 Precision Oven 2.0 brings a huge range of cooking capabilities to your countertop. With pro-grade features such as steam injection for juicier roasts and bagless sous vide cooking, it leverages more tech than the average smartphone. An onboard camera allows the oven to recognize what you're cooking, suggest optimal settings and even take time-lapse footage of your brownies baking.
Headphones that connect to your brain to help you focus
It's no secret that wearing headphones can help with concentration. Neurable and Master & Dynamic's $699 MW75 Neuro headphones do more than just offer music and noise cancellation, though. They're a brain-computer interface, gathering electroencephalography (EEG) data via 12 channel sensors woven into the ear pad cushions. This information, analyzed and presented in Neurable's app, lets you track your optimal focus times and receive alerts suggesting a break when signs of burnout show.
A functional sculpture for your workplace
Burning the proverbial midnight oil doesn't have to result in depressing lighting. Make your desktop cheery with this limited-edition collaboration between lighting design firm Flos and Italian fashion house Bottega Veneta on designer Gino Sarfatti's Model 600 table lamp from 1966. In this update, the adjustable metal base is covered in calfskin with the design house's signature Intreccio weave. It comes in a variety of colors, such as bright red, thunder gray and emerald green, and at nearly 13 inches, the $2,750 large model with its dimmable LED bulb is perfect for a variety of workspaces—and moods.
The weekender for work trips
The $395 Dagne Dover Monaco garment duffel unfurls smartly to reveal a lie-flat compartment for your suit or tux. Zip it back up, and you've got generous space for a few days of casual wear—plus a shoe compartment—all in a sturdy nylon bag that can also sling over the handle of larger roll-aboards for longer trips.
Wisdom and elegance at your fingertips
Late January will see the kickoff of the Year of the Snake in the Chinese lunar calendar, which signifies intelligence, intuition, good luck and grace for those who were born in its cycle. It's also regarded as a year of transformation, so keep some of that luck and wisdom at hand with this new $9,500, 18-karat yellow gold ring that combines diamonds and black onyx in Bulgari's iconic Serpenti motif along with its springy tubogas design language.
A fresh face forward
The most buzzed-about skin care product from the fall is Goop Beauty's $150 3x retinol regenerative serum which combines three forms of dermatologist-beloved vitamin A to encourage cell turnover. What better way to start the new year than by sloughing off the deep wrinkles, rough skin and other signs of aging from the past one?
