Pass it on plantable candles
Nothing says self-care like lighting a scented candle, and now you can care for the earth, too. Pass it On candles sit in holders made of biodegradable seed-infused paper, so you can plant them after the candles have burned down. Their first scent collection is inspired by iconic destinations that are endangered due to climate change, like the Great Barrier Reef (wood sage and sea salt) and the Amazon (goji and tarocco blood orange).
The Pass it On plantable candle collection retails from $29.90 at www.pass-it-on.co.
Beosound Balance
Designed by Benjamin Hubert from British design studio LAYER, the Beosound Balance defies all expectation with its rounded silhouette made of solid oak and knitted textiles. Its user interface can be hidden when not in use, so the Balance looks more like a sculpture than the powerful speaker it really is. With seven carefully-placed drivers and beam-forming technology, the Balance lets you choose between directed or room-filling sound for an immersive music experience.
The Beosound Balance retails for S$3,200 at the Bang & Olufsen Grand Hyatt flagship store and selected B&O retailers.
