These good-looking clay vessels were once used in France to store cooked meats. (The French word “confit” means “to preserve.”) The unglazed underside helped keep everything cool pre-refrigerator. Now, these marigold-colored pots are purely decorative genius. Tuck them in a corner, or fill with branches or pinecones for a little rustic-meets-French charm.

A perfect balance of lightweight and warm, this neutral-toned 100% alpaca throw is so soft you’ll want to wear it like a cape all day (and we won’t stop you). A weaving co-op in La Paz, Bolivia makes each and every one with the highest standards for ethical manufacturing.

We asked thousands of you: What do you love about your favorite wooden spoon? You told us about how it does everything, lasts for generations, and has a place in your most treasured kitchen memories. We listened, learned…then, with our signature design expertise, we elevated your go-to tool in solid teak.

You might recognize the iconic weave of this market bag (hint: it involves fish). Back in the 1800s, the locals in Normandy had a ta-da moment—their fishing nets could do far more than haul in cod. Made from 100% cotton, these sturdy catch-alls are still made in France, in a variety of shades. They're just right for toting books, fruit, or flowers.

While you're making room for all of your prep work, Proteak (the creator of this beaut of a cutting board) is making room for indigenous South American animals and plants by growing sustainable teak forests. Proteak's plantations are FSC certified and devoted to environmental responsibility: Each of their cutting boards is made from the wood that's left over when furniture is manufactured.

Here's an earthen, French-country way to keep your butter soft and spreadable, originating in the late 1800s: Add water to the base of this keeper so that, coupled with anywhere from 1/2 a stick to a 3/4 a stick of butter, it creates an airtight seal.

These blue beauties adapt to how we live and eat on those nights when we don't have time to set a full dinner table. Use them to store food in the fridge or freezer. Come dinnertime, heat your fixings in the microwave (sans lids), and serve directly out of the bowls. Nest or stack them for compact storage. The 100% airtight and leak-proof design makes them handy for not-sad desk lunch, too.

Produced in Theirs, France by a company that’s been turning out steel designs since 1924, this collapsible trivet ticks all the boxes. It'll slip underneath scalding pots to keep tabletops good-as-new, help cookies cool a little faster, expand to accommodate a big casserole dish, and then squeeze tight again when it’s time to pack up. As for that striking blue hue? Stuff of our dreams.

Liven up the table with this Italian-made, resin-handled flatware set in sky, lapis, periwinkle, sage, or cobalt. The colorful (and comfy) handles, set in sturdy stainless steel, are a funky break from all-silver and all-brass everything. They're made from a high-resistance resin that's akin to wood in sturdiness—but with the added benefit of being dishwasher safe.
