What has quality and style today

[Orgetorix]

So what do you think of today as having quality and style?

Most of Bang & Olufsen's products. I'm generally not a fan of modernist decor, but it works well for A/V gear, and B&O's interpretations are usually quite classy.

Maybe they did a deceased grandma roundup...

.
Every grandma's living room in Chile has one of these, which hasn't budged from it since the '60s.

Ya, never know, do ya?

Some finds there:

Colonel Littleton Ambassador's Desk Box ($190.00):

Some items impress you with their quality the moment you see them. We feel this beautiful lacquered box falls easily into that category. The Ambassador's Box is made for us by a small company whose primary focus is the manufacture of fine pianos. Their quality and attention to detail obviously extend to this wooden box, which is finished with a rich, brown burl veneer. Eight coats of lacquer are applied to give it an outstanding mirror finish. Ideal for home or office. May be used as a desk, jewelry or dresser box or as a receptacle for any treasured items. Soft, black, sueded interior with nickel-plated lock, key and hinges.

Nickel silver name plate may be personalized with a full name. (Also available without name plate.) 12" x 7" x 3 1/4".

Mulholland Brothers 4 oz. Captive Top Flask ($55.00):

.

Handcrafted one at a time by trained leather artisans out of San Franscisco, Mulholland Brothers' Captive Top Flask is 4 oz. of sleek leather wrapped stainless steel in a compact, yet effective container. Included are both an attached cap and funnel so you can ensure none of that, ahem, precious H20 is lost in transit. A perfect choice for the sportman or traveler always on the go. Crafted from premium full-grain hides in either Lariat leather (Mulholland signature leather) or Stout leather (saddle leather).

Dimensions: 4" x 3"

Trust me, the photo does it no justice at all. I also have this very cool shower mat (minus the spare set of legs!):

I want this shower head:

I already have a shower mat. But I'll take the legs.

I am very pleased with the style and quality of what I have seen from textile designer Sandy Chilewich.

I like ladder-style shelves. They are lighter and easier to move than a traditional bookshelf. You can see the items on the shelves from any angle. It's a simple design that I think fits into many decors.

I think the Bentley Continental Flying Spur has a lot of style, and the fact you can still get Mulliner to do bespoke touches to it is fantastic.

Halcyon Goggles

You forgot the name of the stapler. It's made by Zolle in Germany. In production since 1946 (still produced on the original machines).

And the Halcyon Goggles are all time classics based on the ones used by RAF in WWII.

It's amazing how many things today that is considered "modern" but has actually been in production since the Golden Era.

Update...

B&O Bluetooth headset.

Went to the B&O store while in Phoenix to test this. Results:

1. Out of Stock
2. $350.00
3. Wired version that had been on demo was broken.
4. Wired version, on sale for $170.00, was uncomfortable in the ear.
5. Bluetooth version has same in-ear piece.
6. Result? Two thumbs down.
