The T List: What to See, Eat and Wear This Week
There is no real reason to own a collection of classic wooden laundry clips rendered from semiprecious Andean stones — which is exactly the reason to buy a set of these in service of creating the chicest clotheslines known to man or, perhaps more practically, a tactilely and visually pleasing office-organization system. Created by D.A.R. Projects, a design studio founded in northern Peru in 2016, they’re part of the Kux Stone Objects series, which relies on local craftsmen, centuries-old techniques and regional materials to elevate workaday objects. The stones used come in a range of hues — from green to light blue to orange — but to get myself back in order this fall after an itinerant summer, I’m going to rely on the heavily mottled teal and cerulean ones, their white and black striations providing a nice, momentary distraction from the stacks of paper accumulating. $18, fredericksandmae.com.
