June 5, 2023 — Don’t be surprised if we show up with this pastel carafe from Sprezz at the next housewarming or dinner party. Crafted from sturdy hand-blown borosilicate glass, the modern color blocking on this joyful piece makes it stylish enough to leave on display (perhaps with a few florals placed inside).

June 6, 2023 — Our latest cookware crush is undoubtedly the collaboration between Queer Eye’s style guru Tan France and direct-to-consumer brand Caraway. Lending Tan’s eye for color to the brand’s trusty pots and pans, this set dipped in a shade of deep moss green is our favorite from the trio—though you won’t go wrong with classic creme or blush pink either.

Case in point: the Salt Sphere, which will surely be the only way you’ll be keeping your salt and spice blends from now on.

June 15, 2023 — We love an international collab. Especially when the brands involved are as stylish as Copenhagen furniture brand GUBI and New York fashion label Noah. Fusing a shared ethos of effortlessly cool coastal living, the pair have come together to release a special edition of the MR01 outdoor lounge chair, as well as a five-piece capsule collection that includes an oversized beach towel, five-panel hat, swim shorts, tote bag, and sweater.

June 15, 2023 — One of our favorite mattress brands, Saatva, dipped their toes into the carpet space last month, unveiling a line of six hand-crafted rugs. Both GoodWeave- and SMETA-certified, each style is made from a variety of sustainable materials, including renewable cotton, wool, and viscose, as well as 100% recycled plastic bottle-based PET yarn fibers.

June 19, 2023 — Tekla’s summer collection has everything you’ll need to enjoy the season both indoors or out like luxurious sheets, enviable pajamas, and stylish towels. We like this black-and-blue striped towel that’ll come in handy at the pool and beach—maybe paired with a poplin shirt from the collection as an elevated cover up.

June 20, 2023 — A special shout out to the merch team at Sweetgreen for delivering not one, but two stylish collabs last month. First, we were delighted by the now sold-out beaded salad tote made with Clever-approved designer Susan Alexandra. Thankfully, the very realistic peach candle from the eatery and Gohar World is still available—and we think it’s the ideal piece for a summer table decor moment.

June 20, 2023 — Originally designed to promote Herman Miller’s annual summer picnic, this graphic watermelon poster was illustrated in 1971 by the brand’s first in-house graphic designer, Steve Frykholm. We think it’s the perfect item to pair with one of the Joy Objects pieces we mentioned earlier in the article, though it’s just as easy to incorporate as a focal point in your gallery wall.

June 21, 2023 — There aren’t too many small-batch fragrance makers like Ffern on the market, and fewer who create a whole narrative and experience around their scents. For their summer ’23 scent, the brand paid homage to the “full-bodied beauty" of osmanthus, with supporting notes of rose geranium, nutmeg, ho wood, and more to evoke the feeling of summer in a bottle.
