Scent One: Hinoki

Produced for Monocle by Comme des Garçons’ perfumer, Antoine Maisondieu, the inspiration for Hinoki comes from a perfectly still, slightly chilly spring morning spent soaking in an indoor/outdoor tub at the Tawaraya in Kyoto. It pulls together our memory of the mosses and trees outdoors and the sharp notes of the boxy hinoki tub.

Drehgriffel pen refill

From heritage stationary brand Leuchtturm 1917, this black-ink refill fits the Drehgriffel ballpoint pen. First designed in the 1920s, it features a geometric hexagonal barrel and a pleasing weightiness to keep the ink flowing and your writing crisp.

Calavria roll-on fragrance

As an extension to our existing collaboration with OLO, we have again partnered with the Portland, Oregon-based perfumer to create a second oil-based perfume. The new fragrance is called Calavria and evokes the feeling of a stroll through the bergamot orchards of Calabria in the late afternoon sun, a gentle breeze rolling in off the Ionian Sea. It has noticeably fresh, verdant notes of birch and moss and the compact roll-on format makes it ideal to revive you when travelling.

Brass oil lamp

The Swedes know a thing or two about how to cast a flattering, flickering light. Our collaboration with the canny folk in the coastal town of Karlskrona stems from our deep affection for the independent firm's traditional paraffin-powered glass lanterns. We remain aglow with admiration.

Small tablet tray

Marked with Swiss furniture brand B4 Moebel's trademark burst of colour, this tray is made in Basel from pine wood and ceramic tiles sourced from Berlin tile manufacturer Golem.

Leather gloves

These gloves highlight Causse Gantier’s refined codes for both style and warmth. Made in France from lambskin leather with a smooth silk lining, they have a polished finish in both natural and dark brown colourways. Since its foundation in 1892, Causse Gantier has remained devoted to producing the highest-quality gloves, earning itself couturier status in the process. Following decades of collaboration with high fashion houses, the brand which is situated in the glove-making region of Millau and is still headed by the Causse family secured a place with Chanel’s Metiers d’Art. Every pair of gloves is hand-cut to precision and meticulously crafted using longstanding family techniques.

Bread and butter board

Sometimes it's the most fundamental essentials that are overlooked in the world of kitchenware. This bread and butter board will convince you to invest in your morning loaf-slicing thanks to its attractive oblong shape. Made in the US from sturdy oak, it will also last a lifetime of cutting bread.

Hender Scheme’s dedication to craftsmanship shines through in these leather slides. Stitched to accentuate the full-leather upper, the chocolate brown or navy tones have been carefully selected to develop a rich patina with wear over time.
