Built to Last

Timeless, durable objects that prioritize quality over trends.

The theme

Objects that outlive their novelty. Materials that age well. Design that doesn’t date. This issue is for those who buy less and keep longer.

Curated objects

1. Cast iron skillet

Improves with use. One pan, many meals. Passed down, not replaced.

2. Brass pen

Patina tells the story. Refillable. The kind of object that becomes part of your hand.

3. Solid wood cutting board

Gets better with oil and use. No plastic. No replacement cycle.

4. Leather belt

Full-grain. Simple buckle. Worn daily, lasts decades.

5. Glass carafe

No plastic contact. Easy to clean. Transparent, honest, enduring.
