Kingsford has collaborated with Joshua Vides, graphic designer and founder of the production house Reality to Idea, for a limited-edition Everdure Cube grill and kit. Bringing the creative potential of cooking to the home-chef, Vides said of the black-and-white collaboration, “Creating the latest custom Fire Drops allowed me to tap into what fuels my own work with Reality to Idea and pair it with Kingsford’s fiery spirit. Together we’ve created a wonderful blend of cultural elements that we hope will ignite curiosity in a whole new wave of grillers.” The collaboration is exclusively available for purchase on the NTWRK app.

In collaboration with the archives of Italian architect Gio Ponti, the luxury eyewear brand Oliver Peoples has released three new titanium eyewear styles, including two optical frames with sunglass clips, and one new style of sunglasses designed exclusively for the collaboration. Mirroring Ponti’s signature designs, the glasses feature faceted titanium temple and endpieces, as well as a bridge with strong angles and a pointed center. Matching Ponti’s use of color in his interiors, the glasses come in an exclusively developed shade of polished brass. Acetate and lenses come in sage and mustard and, notably, blue is used throughout the collection in homage to its prominent use in Ponti’s work.
