John Kostick Foldable Star Sculptures
John Kostick’s Foldable Stars (1965) began as models of mathematical concepts, particularly the structural-relationship principle known as tensegrity (or tensional integrity). "The abstract lines that define geometric forms are indicated by actual physical parts that interact synergetically," says the designer. "Thus symmetry and structural integrity are the results of the assemblage of simple linear components, tension and compression, push and pull." Kostick refers to his Stars as "mathematical truths that you can hold in your hand," and after you pick one up, you’ll have a hard time putting it down. They can be hung or placed on display, but they invite interaction, and they are fun to play with. Handcrafted in Massachusetts, these multi-axis Foldable Stars are made of bronze that will patina beautifully over time. Kostick was granted a patent for his Stars in 1970. Made in U.S.A.

One Step Timers Dew Drop Wired LED Lights (Set of 2)
Festive fairy lights. Delicate dew drop fairy lights make every room feel more magical. They're a pretty alternative to standard string lights—and the wire is bendable and moldable, giving them more structure than typical string lights, too. These lights are bright (as in, smart!): They come with a 6-hour self timer, so they will automatically turn off after 6 hours. That means you can set them for a party and they won't stay on all night. Choose from 3 lengths (6’, 9’, or 17’) and 2 colors (copper or silver), all in sets of 2. If you'd like to hang your lights outside, we suggest wrapping the battery box in a plastic bag—it isn't waterproof (but the wires and lights are!)

Baies evokes the tangy coolness of blackcurrants mixed with the flowery accents of rose.
