Take 5: Pixelated Fashion, Pop-Up Lamps, + More

1. Anrealage’s 2025/26 Screen-Changing Runway

My fashion mantra for 2025: If it doesn’t slowly illuminate line by line, pixel by pixel, from the bottom up – I don’t want it! All jokes aside, Anrealage’s 2025/26 Autumn/Winter collection, Screen, had me completely mesmerized. Each painstakingly handcrafted garment features 10,000 multicolored LEDs stitched onto black canvas panels, shifting patterns with each step the models took. The effect is a hypnotic fusion of digital art and haute couture. While I’m still debating where I’d wear such a masterpiece (Date night? Grocery run?), I love how the collection pushes the boundaries of fashion and technology. In a world ruled by screens, how do we feel about them taking over our wardrobe too?

2. A Pop-Up Lamp by Risette

If only switching up home decor was as easy as flipping a page. Turns out, Risette has made that dream a reality with the Pop-Up Lamp (version 1 and 2). Inspired by nostalgic pop-up books and childhood crafts, this paper lamp unfolds like a story – turn the page to reveal a new scene, a fresh glow, a different mood. Designed for the coziest corners, it’s an ever-changing light source that’s as delightful to use as it is to look at. It’s currently sold out but will be available very soon – sign up for in-stock notifications!

3. Pint-Sized Furniture for Fun-Loving Kids: Bauen

As a parent, I get extra excited when a new kids’ furniture brand pops up – especially one that rethinks how play furniture looks and feels. Enter Bauen, the latest name to join the club. After 18 months and 200 prototypes, they’ve launched The Set, a modern chair-and-table duo designed with soft, rounded edges (no sharp corners!) and effortless assembly. It’s a design-forward take on kids’ furniture, borrowing from the aesthetics of high-end grown-up pieces while keeping things playful and practical.

4. Building Confidence Through Routine with Charmspring

Speaking of game-changing kids’ brands, I’m also into Charmspring, the latest brainchild by Steph Korey Goodwin, co-founder of Away. Founded on the belief that routines build confidence, resilience, and independence, Charmspring rethinks how kids navigate their day with Springboard, a beautifully designed, modern routine board featuring activity tiles. From brushing teeth to soccer practice, kids get a visual schedule that gives them a sense of ownership over their day. Charmspring recently just launched custom tiles, so I could add gymnastics, swim class, and Girl Scouts to our own board. Structure can sometimes feel rigid, but all parents know it’s necessary. With Charmspring, it also gets to be fun!

5. Brand to Know + Immediately Follow: Holcomb

When it comes to kitchen tools, I have a simple rule: no fluff, just function. That’s exactly why I’m obsessed with Holcomb, a brand that nails the balance between utility and timeless beauty. No frills, no gimmicks. Just sturdy, well-crafted objects that look as good on an open shelf as they do in use. While I’d gladly take everything they offer, the elegant Oil Can and architectural Perch Mortar & Pestle are my personal standouts. Thoughtful design meets everyday necessity – what’s not to love?
