Ode to Things is a microstore specialised in well-designed, quality lifestyle accessories, and when I recently discovered one of their objects in the form of the Futagami Brass Bottle Opener designed by Masanori Oji, it lead me to a store full of beautifully minimalist and simple accessories. A collection that I have no doubt many of you will also appreciate. Ode to Things explains:

We love objects that add function, style, and fun to your life. That's why we created this concise collection of everyday items that are special in the way they bring form, function, and elegance together.

From Hidetoshi Takahashi's Kami Wood Cups, to Lovisa Wattman's Iris Hantverk Concrete Bowls, to Christina Weber's Studiopatró Kitchen & Café Aprons, this range of household objects have been superbly selected, and as a relatively new online store, I will be keeping a close eye on how Ode to Things develops throughout the year.
