Herman MillerHerman Miller Eames Molded Plastic Dining Chair
The two most magical words in the world of furniture are “Eames Chair.” Virtually all of the seats designed in the mid-twentieth century by Charles and Ray Eames have reached iconic status, from the grail-worthy Eames Lounge Chair to the classic LCW. First debuting in 1970 and discontinued in 1993, the EC-127 — better known as the Eames Molded Plastic Dining Chair — was created by the pair to be a more durable, upholstered version of the designers’ Molded Plywood Dining Chair. Now, Herman Miller, in collaboration with the Eames Office, has resurrected the EC-127, with the new version being made from 99 percent post-industrial recycled plastic in a variety of colors inspired by the shades the Eameses used on a prototype of “The Toy.” The new EC-127 is also, for the first time, available in non-upholstered versions as well as upholstered, with the upholstery options including Eames contemporary Alexander Girard’s Hopsak pattern that was available on the original 1970 chair.
Terra KaffeTerra Kaffe TK Demi
This stunning coffee machine is about the same size as pod coffee makers. But there’s one major difference: this one is fully automatic. That means it can make the whole gamut of coffee types — espresso, americano, drip and more — while also offering self-cleaning. Really, all you have to do is make sure you keep it loaded with fresh beans. You can even customize your drink with the machine’s simple, intuitive controls. Homebrew will never be the same again.

AmazonGoogle Pixel 10 Pro Fold
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is the company’s next-gen foldable smartphone and the star of its Pixel 10 lineup. The most unique aspect of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is that it holds the distinction of being the only foldable device with an IP68 rating, meaning it’s completely protected from both dust and water. Compared to last year’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold, the new model has a faster processor, smaller bezels and a larger front display.

GoogleGoogle Pixel Watch 4
Google’s next-generation smartwatch, the Pixel Watch 4, has numerous upgrades over last year’s Pixel Watch 3. It features a brighter, curvier “domed” display with thinner bezels — the brand claims this gives it a 10 percent larger visible screen area. It also has a longer battery life and supports faster charging. It comes in two sizes, 41mm and 45mm, and is available for preorder now. Shipping starts October 9th.
