Issue Twenty-One gets underway with a look at an unexpected yet refreshing trend: transparent gadgets, which first rose to popularity in the ’90s and have recaptured consumers’ interests — including our own. They’re not the only products making a comeback. The Guide covers vintage workout gear, a 75-year-old lounge chair, timeless watch designs and premade cocktails. Don’t worry, this isn’t the stuff you drank in college.
Elsewhere, we sit down with prominent designers shaping the product world, including Kaila Cumings, a self-taught knifemaker collaborating with the biggest brands in the business, and Caroline Andrew, who belongs to a new wave of tailors reinvigorating London’s Savile Row.
