This small cone-shaped retreat zips together for easy set up, then unzips for convenient cleaning in the washing machine or transportation in the included carrying bag.

Saucepans with lids that double as trivets. We like!

Scandi-inspired sauce. Inspired by the iconic mid-century aesthetic of Danish sculptor Jens Quistgaard, Dansk has been creating cookware and cutlery since the 1950s. Whip up a batch of beurre blanc or homemade tomato sauce in this Købenstyle enameled carbon-steel saucepan, then bring it straight to the table and use the ingenious lid as a trivet.

Bamboo beauts. Eco-friendly dinnerware? Count us in. Every dish you see is crafted from bamboo fiber and non-GMO cornstarch (read: super sustainable), with a touch of BPA-free melamine for an extra kick of durability (because these sets will be putting in the miles, just wait). It all comes in a spread of shapes and sizes, too—dinner and salad plates, pasta and cereal bowls, matching cups—ready for full-on feasts and all the bites in between. Plus, a little bonus for when mealtime’s over: Everything cleans right up in the dishwasher. We haven’t even gotten to that rainbow of happy hues, either. Yeah...these pals are getting an invite to our next backyard bash.

Like all of our fixtures and shades, the Isaac Collection features handcrafted materials that are Manufactured in our Portland factory to exacting specifications. The hand spinning process lends a unique quality to each shade. Photo Courtesy of Schoolhouse

Set the ambiance with this Food52-exclusive.

Ambience, s’mores, your pick. This mini FLÎKR Fire fireplace may pack a teensy footprint, but oh, we have lots to say about it. It’s built from sturdy concrete, and it’s just the ticket for creating an instant ambience (or, you know, whipping up some s’mores). Ready in 3, 2, 1: Just pour in a bit of rubbing alcohol, grab a match, and you’ve got yourself a new flame. Refueling: Always wait 15 minutes between refueling and ensure previous fire is snuffed out before doing so. Keeps on burning: 5 ounces of rubbing alcohol = 50ish minutes of burn time. Simple. Clean as can be: Take a deep breath—this one creates soot only where the flame touches, and it’ll never dirty your ceiling. Food safe: Yep, it’s totally game for cooking, too. (Someone grab the marshmallows and graham crackers.) Perfectly portable: In the living room, out on the deck...it’s ready to add a little warmth indoors and out, with felt on the bottom to protect your precious surfaces. Recommended use: In a ventilated area, larger than 300 square feet.

By your estimation, these fruit-patterned dish towels challenge the status quo by actually being good at their job.
