What we like about LomaLiving’s minimal cedar and stainless steel wine racks is that they actually let you see all your bottles from the side, turning any wall, countertop, or floor into a dramatic modern display. In horizontal and vertical styles, holding from 4 to 14 bottles.

EatMyUke is currently on a quest to learn how to play his 50 favorite albums of all time on the ukulele. Given how well he performed The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Californication, we think he’ll have no problem achieving his goal. That’s Matt Deakin chipping in on the drums.

To promote their coffee, Finnish roasters Paulig enlisted the help of filmmaker Lucas Zanotto to create what is more than likely the smallest cup of coffee ever brewed, hand-grinding (er, filing) a single bean of their Kenya AA+ Karindum into a tiny filter and doing a thimble-sized pourover.

What’s not to like about BetaBrand’s soft fleece hoodie? After all, it looks great with those crazy, mixed-up camouflage patterns on it. All we can think of is that we’ll have to wait until 9/2017 to get ours, since it’s being crowdfunded.
