QUIET REFLECTION


This elegant-looking
mirror stays put on its
perch without any fas-
tenings or attachments—
just the magic of physics.
There’s a ball attached
to the back of the glass;
rotate it in the stand’s
socket to find the right
angle for admiring your vis-
age, or just pick the mirror
up and grip the ball like a
handle. Available in walnut,
beech, or ebonized beech.

AUDIO LOG


Simplify any audiovisual
connection with this boom-
ing television speaker that
has Roku streaming hard-
ware built in. Access thou-
sands of channels in one
place with Roku’s easy
voice controls and slick
menu system. The sound-
bar also works as a Blue-
tooth speaker, and it pairs
with the company’s new
subwoofer ($180) for some
extra thump. Roku Smart
Soundbar | $180

FLIP OUT


The cheeky name—doppio
is Italian for “double”—
betrays this coffee table’s
secret. The two-sided top
has oak veneer on one
side and a black lacquer
finish on the other. Just lift
the top off the powder-
coated steel frame and flip
it around for a change of
scene. We suggest wood
for movie night and shiny
black for New Year’s Eve.
Civil Doppio 65 | $499

THE RIGHT STUFFIE


Tardigrades, those thicc
microscopic organisms,
are as adorable as they are
resilient. They can survive
anywhere—in a vacuum,
atop snow-capped moun-
tains, at the bottom of the
ocean, and, of course, in
our hearts. Blown up to
cuddling size, this 6-inch
plushie is a perfect sleep
companion—tardigrades
can lie dormant for as
long as a century. Giant
Microbes Waterbear | $10
