Sailing Ship Kite Designed by Emily Fischer for Haptic Lab, $40 Brooklyn-based Haptic Lab designs distinctive textile items from intricate quilts to one-of-a- kind kites. The Sailing Ship Kite is handmade and is de- signed by Haptic Lab in collaboration with Balinese arti- sans. This kite flies best in a very strong wind on a beach or a hilltop, but also makes a beautiful decorative accent indoors. The double-mast, eight-sail shop recalls historic vessels, but its nylon and bamboo construction give it a sense of lightness and whimsy. The Sailing Ship Kite will be a striking accent in a den or library, or a playful addition to a child’s bedroom. The kite ships flat for convenience, and includes basic kite twine and simple assembly instructions. 24K Gold-Plated Cocktail Shaker Designed by Yukiwa, $128 Created as a classic three-piece cobbler shaker, this bar accessory will add instant luxury to your cock- tail creations, whether it’s a simple mixed drink or an elaborate mixology concoction. Plated onto stain- less steel, the cocktail shaker is resilient and meant to endure.
